“Maybe I’m tone-deaf…” Easy-to-sing karaoke songs even for people who aren’t good at singing (171–180)
GraduationKobukuro
The 2020 track “Sotsugyo” (Graduation), themed around graduation.
The coupling includes a choral version performed by the Suginami Children’s Choir, making it a perfect piece for chorus as well.
With its gentle, calm melody, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.
Not only for karaoke, but it’s also a song that’s easy for everyone to sing together at school events like graduation ceremonies and choral competitions.
Since there are no difficult melodic lines, try singing it with care, savoring each word and putting your heart into it.
Easy★RiderTamio Okuda
It was released in 1996 as Tamio Okuda’s sixth single.
The song was used in a Nissan Wingroad commercial, and it’s one you can sing in karaoke in a relaxed, unforced way.
It was reissued in 2005, so it’s fairly well known.
FlowerORANGE RANGE
It’s a relaxed, rap-style ballad.
The song is by ORANGE RANGE, a rock band based in Okinawa, and was released in 2004 as their eighth single.
It was used as the theme song for the film “Be With You” and became a big hit.
There are various types of poor pitch, but this song is especially recommended for people who have trouble reaching high notes.
You should be able to sing the lower-pitched parts well.
Give it some guts!!Ulfuls
Ulfuls’ ninth single, released in December 1995.
Please don’t misunderstand—I’m absolutely not dissing the artist—but when it comes to Ulfuls’ songs, it’s fair to say that debating vocal skill is pretty much pointless.
Don’t worry about that; just sing with energy and power and have fun—that’s the way to win! In the chorus, rather than focusing on “singing,” enjoy “raising your voice” together in a big group sing-along with your friends!
Let's give it a try.WANIMA
This is a song by WANIMA released in 2017 as a digital-only single.
It was announced as the CM song for au’s Santaro series, “Spring Door: Let’s Try It,” and became a hot topic.
While the arrangement gives it WANIMA’s vibe, it’s ultimately a cover of the English folk song “The Picnic,” so the key itself isn’t particularly difficult.
However, the arrangement packs in a lot of words, so you need to be careful not to get thrown off by that.

heartKobukuro
The song “Kokoro” (“Heart”) is a number that gives you an opportunity to face your own heart.
Released in 2017, it was chosen as the theme song for the film “I’m Taking a Break at Work Now” (Chotto Ima Kara Shigoto Yamete Kuru), and the music video features NAOTO from EXILE and Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE.
The track unfolds at a relaxed pace, as if having a gentle conversation with your heart, making it easy to sing without rushing.
If the key feels a bit high, try lowering it a few steps so you can sing more comfortably and freely.
Until today and from tomorrowTakuro Yoshida
It’s one of Takuro Yoshida’s signature songs, depicting someone reflecting on the path they’ve taken in life and their connections with others while contemplating the road ahead.
Its popularity is evident from its use in various works, such as the 1972 film “The Weight of the Journey” and the 2001 film “Crayon Shin-chan: The Storm Called: The Adult Empire Strikes Back.” With a simple, acoustic-guitar-centered sound that embodies classic folk music, it conveys the lyrics’ message all the more clearly.
The repetition of the simple melody makes it easy to sing, and by performing it in a relaxed, murmuring style, you can really bring out the song’s atmosphere.
