Songs that are easy to sing at karaoke even for people who think, “I might be tone-deaf...” or aren’t good at singing
I think many people who consider themselves tone-deaf have experienced finding a song they love only to realize they can’t sing it.

“Maybe I’m tone-deaf...” Easy-to-sing karaoke songs even for people who aren’t good at singing (161–170)
ff fortissimoHOUND DOG
When you hear the word “ballad,” it can feel intimidating to sing, right? But even with a song meant to be listened to closely, you’ll be fine if you sing calmly.
This song has a very slow tempo, so try singing without rushing and stay relaxed.
SakurazakaMasaharu Fukuyama
This is one of Masaharu Fukuyama’s signature songs, also famous as the theme song for the TV program “Future Diary.” As a ballad, the tempo is slow, which makes it easy to sing calmly—this is a major plus.
It also features the characteristics typical of Fukuyama’s music: an overall low key with little range movement, so it should be especially easy for men to sing.
I also recommend imitating the feel of Fukuyama’s singing style—particularly his line endings—as a tip to make it sound better.
“I might be tone-deaf...” Easy karaoke songs even for people who aren’t good at singing (171–180)
Future is YoursSambomaster
This is Sambomaster’s 23rd single overall, released in August 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for the Toho-distributed animated film “SHIN Jigen! Crayon Shin-chan THE MOVIE: Super-Powered Great Battle ~Fly, Fly, Hand-Rolled Sushi~.” It’s an upbeat, lively pop-rock song that just makes you feel happy when you listen to it! The vocal melody is very simple and the vocal range used isn’t very wide, so I can confidently recommend it as a very easy song for anyone to sing! Ride the uptempo beat and have fun belting it out!
If I can see you in my dreamsEiichi Ohtaki
This is “If I Could See You in My Dreams,” written and composed by singer-songwriter Eiichi Ohtaki.
It’s a heartwarming, soothing song with an easy-to-follow rhythm and no quirks, making it very easy to sing.
It’s a classic karaoke number that even men who aren’t confident singers can master relatively easily.
Sorry for Being Cute feat. ChuutanSaori Hayami
The song “Kawaikute Gomen feat.
Chuutan,” which has been getting attention for being “calculatedly cute,” is one you hear almost daily on YouTube and TikTok.
It’s very easy to sing even for people who are tone-deaf, as it’s composed with a relatively narrow vocal range.
If anything, the “chu” part is the tricky bit.
That’s the highest note, but it’s better to sing it with playful, over-the-top charm and passion rather than worrying about pitch.
It’s a song that gets big reactions—for better or worse—so if you’re a female college student, definitely practice it and try it at karaoke.
Strong Wind Slicked-Back (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi
If you’re looking for a Vocaloid track that’s easy to sing, I recommend “Strong Wind All Back (feat.
Kaai Yuki).” Its unique lyrics make a strong impression, and it’s currently popular especially among teens of all genders.
The key point of this piece lies in how the words are spaced.
Many Vocaloid songs cram in an abnormal number of syllables—perhaps because they aren’t designed with human singers in mind—which makes lots of tracks surprisingly hard to sing even when the vocal lines themselves are simple.
In contrast, this song uses remarkably few words, so even those who aren’t confident singers should find it very easy to perform.
Christmas songback number
This is back number’s 14th single, released in November 2015.
It was chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.
m.
drama “5→9: The Monk Who Fell in Love with Me” and won the Best Drama Song at the 87th The Television Drama Academy Awards, so many of you have probably heard it.
Sung by vocalist Iyori Shimizu, whose high notes are wonderfully beautiful, it may intimidate some people into hesitating to try it at karaoke after just one listen—but there’s no need to worry! It’s true that, for a male-vocal track, the original key is set quite high, but the vocal melody itself is relatively simple.
If you adjust the key to suit your range, many people should be able to aim for a high score.
There are sections with some pitch leaps, such as in the latter half of the chorus, but if you prepare in advance—practicing transitions between chest voice and falsetto and paying attention to vowel and consonant articulation in the lyrics—you can take on the challenge with confidence.
