“Maybe I’m tone-deaf...” Easy karaoke songs for people who aren’t good at singing (221–230)
To the LightThe Babystars
This is a signature song by The Babystars, an artist popular for melodies that make you hum along naturally and uplifting lyrics that energize you.
The song carries a message encouraging listeners to set off toward their individual goals, and because the pitch is relatively low, it’s easy for anyone to sing.
GREEN DAYSNoriyuki Makihara
The key is easy to sing for both men and women, and it’s a very refreshing song, so it’s popular across all ages.
Some men may find it a bit high, but it’s perfect for practicing high notes.
It’s a good idea to practice while thinking about where the accents fall.
Ikegami LineHiroshi Takeshima
For men who like mood kayō (Japanese mood pop), a recommended song is Ikegami-sen, with its beautifully melancholic melody, covered by Hiroshi Takeshima.
The original was released in 1976 by singer-songwriter Mieko Nishijima.
It remains a long-selling song that’s still frequently performed and is also easy to sing at karaoke.
Love ParadeORANGE RANGE
Released in 2005 as ORANGE RANGE’s 10th single, this song was written after the members read the screenplay and was chosen as the theme song for the film Densha Otoko.
It topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart for two consecutive weeks and is a popular, easy-to-sing track for karaoke.
Banzai ~I'm glad I love you~Ulfuls
This song was released as Ulfuls’ 10th single and was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Goddess of Victory.” It doesn’t have many high notes and the pitch is relatively stable, so it’s very easy to sing.
It’s a song that makes you want to sing out loud with lots of energy.
In the Great Sky and on the Vast EarthChiharu Matsuyama
Many of you might feel, “I’m not good at singing, but this is the one song I really want to nail!” It’s a wonderful piece that draws you into its world with a powerful yet gentle voice.
The key is a bit high for many male singers, so if it feels strenuous, try lowering it by one or two semitones.
Songs that are easy to sing at karaoke even for those who think, “I might be tone-deaf…” (231–240)
The Zero Sense10-FEET
This is 10-FEET’s 22nd single, released in November 2022 as a digital-only single.
It was selected as the ending theme song for the film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK.
It’s crafted as a very cool medium-to up-tempo rock song! The vocal melody is simple and easy to follow, so to sing it well, I think it really comes down to projecting as powerfully as you can and staying firmly locked into the rhythm of the backing track to keep the sense of groove.
Don’t sweat the small details—belt it out with strength and enjoy riding the rhythm as you sing! If you also pay attention to the rests between phrases, it’ll feel even better, so definitely experiment and fine-tune your approach.
