“Maybe I’m tone-deaf…” Easy-to-sing karaoke songs even for those who aren’t good at singing (41–50)
At all times.Noriyuki Makihara
This is a song that can be considered one of singer-songwriter Noriyuki Makihara’s signature tracks.
It was also used as the theme song for the film “No Anomalies on the Employment Front.” The tempo is relatively slow, so it’s a song you can sing calmly without rushing.
While the sudden rises and drops in key may seem challenging, the overall range is quite narrow, making it fairly easy to sing.
However, if you don’t convey emotion, it can come across as very simple, so that’s one point to be careful about.
Mont BlancErika Ikuta
Erika Ikuta, a former member of Nogizaka46, is now active as a TV personality and solo artist.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend for people who struggle with singing in tune is Mont Blanc.
This piece is crafted as a classic, ballad-style J-pop track.
While it doesn’t have a particularly narrow vocal range, its vocal lines—like those of older, easy-to-sing songs—make it easier to control pitch, even for those who are tone-deaf.
RainMotohiro Hata
Hata Motohiro’s cover of “Rain,” a popular song from Senri Oe’s acclaimed 1988 album “1234,” is an easy-to-sing track with a fresh, breezy feel.
Hata Motohiro’s “Rain” was used as the theme song for the animated film “The Garden of Words,” released in May 2013.
DoraemonGen Hoshino
As the title suggests, this is a song about Doraemon.
It was used as the theme song for the film Doraemon: Nobita’s Treasure Island.
Since it features a melody that’s very familiar to Japanese people, even those who aren’t confident singers might find it easy to sing.
Give my regards to the Joker.PENGUIN RESEARCH
This was their major-label debut single released in 2016, and it was used as the ending theme for the independent UHF anime Durarara!!×2 Ketsu.
It has a piano rock sound with a mature vibe.
The intense yet beautiful melody line makes it a memorable track.
Be sure to give it a try at karaoke.
pure whiteFujii Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s new song “Masshiro.” When you think of Fujii Kaze, you probably picture tracks rooted in R&B, right? That style can make his music feel a bit challenging to some listeners, but this release is different.
It forgoes elements of Black music like R&B and instead features an airy, dream-pop-like vocal line throughout.
As a result, it’s one of the easiest songs to sing in his catalog.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
PredatorAKASAKI
Starting her career as a singer-songwriter at the young age of 16, AKASAKI skyrocketed to fame when her 2024 release “Bunny Girl” became a massive viral hit.
Her songs, woven from the fresh sensibility unique to a teenager, a mature perspective, and outstanding songwriting talent, are all remarkable—so much so that not only her peers but also working adults in their 20s and beyond will find themselves wanting to sing them at karaoke.
The same goes for “Predator,” released in May 2025: it’s a killer tune that showcases AKASAKI’s signature taste, deftly blending a J-pop vibe reminiscent of the early Heisei era with a stylish, 2020s feel.
Its catchy hook will have you humming along after just one listen.
When singing it at karaoke, try delivering it lightly without overexerting, but avoid sounding too flat—be mindful of your breathing spots and aim for a smooth, flowing performance!
