“I might be tone-deaf...” Easy karaoke songs for people who aren’t confident at singing (201–210)
FarewellSEKAI NO OWARI
This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s 17th single, released in June 2023.
It was issued as a triple A-side single on a 3-track CD together with “Turquoise” and “Butterfly Effect.” Among the three songs, the one we’re introducing here, “Saraba,” was selected as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Wednesday drama “My Husband-in-Law.” It’s a major-key track with a slightly bouncy rhythm that makes you feel happy just by listening.
Despite its upbeat vibe, the vocal melody doesn’t span a wide range, so even those who aren’t confident singers can probably enjoy humming along.
If the singing rhythm gets heavy, it will spoil the original feel of the song, so be sure to really feel that bouncing beat as you sing.
If only I had held you tighterWANDS
This was WANDS’s third single overall, released in July 1992.
It was used as the theme song for a Mitsui Life Insurance commercial featuring Atsuko Asano.
A massive hit that became WANDS’s first million-seller (1.
663 million copies sold), many of you have likely heard it before.
In the 1990s, when this song was released, singability at karaoke was a key factor for a song to become a hit.
True to that trend, this track is crafted to be very easy to sing—especially the chorus melody—and highly memorable.
I confidently recommend it for men in their 40s who don’t usually sing much.
Enjoy singing it with power throughout!
That line is the horizon.kururi
This track is included on Quruli’s 12th studio album, Songline, which was released in September 2018.
It has a medium-to-slow tempo with a slightly languid vibe, and I feel that’s the song’s greatest appeal.
Even when you listen closely to the vocal melody, there aren’t any particularly complex lines or ranges that would make it hard to sing, so it’s very singable.
That also means it’s likely easier to aim for a high score if you select it in karaoke with a scoring feature.
The only concern when trying to score high would be letting the rhythm rush because you can’t resist the original track’s “languid atmosphere.” If you do that, you’ll spoil the very mood the original song has.
Keep that in mind and give it a try.
Together foreverKobukuro
Eien ni Tomo ni, a song well-loved as a wedding classic, was released in 2004 as a double A-side single together with Million Films.
It was written by Kentaro Kobuchi for a friend’s wedding.
Its simple, easy-to-remember melody makes it very singable—even those who aren’t confident at karaoke will find it approachable! The harmony line isn’t very difficult either, so it could be great for two people to practice and perform as entertainment at a wedding.
Bon-giri Love SongSouthern All Stars
This is Southern All Stars’ fourth digital-only single, released in July 2023.
The slightly bouncy beat leaves quite an impression.
The vocal melody doesn’t span a wide range, making it easy to hum along and enjoy, so it’s recommended for those who prioritize singability.
However, be careful not to sing the lyrics too flatly.
With a strong sense of rhythm, you’ll be able to sing this song more freely and enjoyably.
For those who like impersonations, trying a Kuwata-style vocal could be another fun twist.
Blow away your daily stress with this one track and put it to use for your well-being.
Beat de TouhiHamaiku
Hamaiku is a musical duo consisting of comedian Ryuichi Hamaie and former Nogizaka46 member Erika Ikuta.
The unit was formed on NHK’s music program Venue101.
Speaking of their signature song, it would be “Beat de Touhi.” Since neither of the two is primarily a singer, the vocal line of this track is very simple.
There are no harmonies; they just sing the same line as male and female, so it can be considered an easy duet as well.
It was spring, wasn’t it?Takuro Yoshida
An uptempo track that sets the tone for the fourth album “Genki Desu,” released in 1972.
Takuro’s cool vocals breezily sing of the fleeting nature of love.
With an extremely low range—its lowest note is mid1 A#—this song is a godsend for men with lower voices.
While the dense lyrics and quick delivery can be a bit challenging, its comfortable, soothing sense of drive makes it easy to sing! Perfect for spring karaoke or when you want to get hyped with one of Takuro’s rock numbers.
