Songs That Are Easy to Sing at Karaoke Even If You Think “I Might Be Tone-Deaf” (211–220)
swayingMasaki Suda
While fast songs where you can’t quite keep up with the lyrics can sometimes be glossed over with sheer momentum, many people find them difficult.
On the other hand, this song, “Yurayura,” is perfect for those moments when a somber ballad doesn’t feel right either.
Written and composed by Masaki Suda, its lyrics—said to capture everyday trifles and scenes that caught his eye—feel relatable.
It’s also appealing in that you can sing it gently without forcing your voice, and its approachable, naturally unspooling delivery should make it easy to sing.
Long Hope PhiliaMasaki Suda
If you want to sing a Masaki Suda song at karaoke but aren’t very confident in your singing, I recommend “Long Hope Philia.” This track doesn’t have many high notes and is notably easy to sing.
The melody line is beautiful yet simply constructed, so even those who struggle with singing can pick up the knack more easily.
It’s a song that brings out the beauty of both mid-low and high tones.
It was also used as the theme song for the anime film “My Hero Academia: Two Heroes,” so it’s a great pick for gatherings of anime song fans!

This song, “Niji,” widely known among children as the theme for the film STAND BY ME Doraemon 2, features an alluring, floaty melody.
It may seem difficult to sing because it sounds high, but that impression comes from Mr.
Suda’s vocal timbre emphasizing the height; the actual vocal range isn’t that wide.
It’s an easy, relaxed song to sing at karaoke if you adjust the key to your own pitch.
A heartwarming love song with great lyrics, it’s sure to captivate listeners when performed at karaoke.

FlowerFujii Kaze
This is singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze’s 14th digital-only single, released in October 2023.
It was reportedly written as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama series “My Favorite Flower.” The track is striking for its relaxed yet rhythmic piano riff and Fujii’s delightfully laid-back vocals.
The vocal melody isn’t complicated, making it easy and fun to hum along to, so it’s a great pick for many people to choose casually at karaoke.
For those who aren’t confident about switching registers in the falsetto sections of the chorus, try lowering the key on the karaoke machine before you sing.
SoupSakura Fujiwara
This is Sakura Fujiwara’s debut single, released in June 2016.
Incidentally, the lyrics, composition, and production were handled by Masaharu Fukuyama.
The vocal melody doesn’t use extremely low or high notes throughout the song, so it might be an ideal karaoke choice for women who feel hesitant about singing due to a limited vocal range.
The song maintains a relaxed, heartwarming mood from start to finish, so while keeping a slightly bouncy groove, be careful not to rush the vocals or make the pronunciation of the lyrics sound rough.
It seems there’s also a version sung by Masaharu Fukuyama, who produced the track, so it could be helpful to check that out as a reference.
Goodbye, TearsMasayuki Suzuki
Masayuki Suzuki released a full cover album titled “DISCOVER JAPAN III.” It features many classic songs, but the easiest to sing among them is “Namida-kun Sayonara.” The song was originally released by Kyu Sakamoto in 1965.
While the original gives a gentle, tender impression, the cover version is performed with a powerful, R&B-like vocal style.
That said, it preserves the charm of the original.
Try listening to the original and the cover side by side to note the differences and practice.
CheersTsuyoshi Nagabuchi
Composed for a friend’s wedding and released as the title track of the third album, “Kanpai.” In addition to the original version, its inclusion in elementary school music textbooks and the many cover versions by various artists have made it a signature song loved by listeners across generations.
With a very relaxed tempo and a simple melody, anyone can sing it comfortably by setting it to a key that suits their voice.
It’s a heartwarming number that will get everyone excited when sung together at karaoke after an event.
