Even karaoke beginners can relax! Easy-to-sing songs for men

Become a flowerflumpool

flumpool - Become a Flower (Music Video)

It was flumpool’s major-label debut single released exclusively via digital distribution in October 2008.

The song ranges from mid- to up-tempo, and its vocal melody is built from comparatively broad phrases, which likely makes it feel the easiest to sing.

Since there isn’t much pitch variation, it’s also one of the best choices for people who don’t usually sing to select at karaoke.

However, because the vocal line is relatively flat, if you sing without being mindful of the rests, there’s a risk it will turn into a very boring performance.

So when you sing it, it’s best to study the song beforehand and pay close attention to the rests.

Fukuwarai (a traditional Japanese “lucky laugh” face-making game)Yu Takahashi

Yu Takahashi - Fukuwarai

Takahashi Yu is popular for his distinctive melodies and straightforward lyrics.

Fukuwarai, with its easy-to-sing style, is a song I’d recommend for men when they’re unsure what to sing at karaoke.

You don’t need to belt it out, and the rhythm is easy to catch, so with a little practice you might be able to sing it right away.

Its catchy melody makes it easy to get everyone involved as you sing.

A strong ally for men at karaoke—that’s Takahashi Yu.

Kobukurobud

Kobukuro – Tsubomi

Kobukuro’s 14th single, released in March 2007.

It’s a very beautiful acoustic ballad, and I think the difficulty is quite high if you try to express it seriously and sing it with full nuance.

However, the melody is very gentle, the tempo is slow, and there aren’t any parts where the lyrics are crammed in at a rapid pace, so if you’re just tracing the melody and lyrics at karaoke, I think it’s relatively easy to sing.

In that sense, it’s a song with great depth.

Some people may find the key a bit high, so it’s a good idea to check the key setting in advance.

BUMP OF CHICKEN “From Inside the Window”

It’s the coupling track on BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 28th CD single, “SOUVENIR,” released in April 2023.

It was reportedly created for “BUMP OF CHICKEN 18-sai Matsuri,” which aired on NHK General TV on March 31, 2023.

It’s a medium-tempo song with a gentle, memorable melody, and the vocal line is basically very easy to sing and remember, so even people who aren’t confident singers should be able to hum along casually.

However, there’s a section sung a cappella in the latter half of the song, so please be careful to keep the rhythm there.

BUMP OF CHICKEN「SOUVENIR」

This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 19th digital-only single, released in September 2022.

It was written as the opening theme for cour 2 of the TV Tokyo anime SPY×FAMILY.

By the way, the title is pronounced “Souvenir.” It’s a very approachable song in a major key with a medium tempo, easy to hum along to.

The vocal melody doesn’t cover a very wide range, so it should be easy to sing even for people who struggle with either high or low notes.

If you aim your voice lightly toward your upper palate as you sing, you can reproduce nuances similar to vocalist Fujiwara’s tone.

LA LA LA Love SongToshinobu Kubota

Toshinobu Kubota – LA･LA･LA LOVE SONG with NAOMI CAMPBELL [Official Video Short ver.]

This is Toshinobu Kubota’s 16th single overall, released in May 1996.

It was released under the name Toshinobu Kubota with Naomi Campbell.

The song was used as the theme for the wildly popular Monday 9 p.

m.

drama Long Vacation, starring Takuya Kimura and Tomoko Yamaguchi, and became a massive hit, selling over a million copies.

Now, when it comes to finding karaoke material for those who aren’t confident singers, it’s no exaggeration to say that the hit songs of the ’90s are a treasure trove.

Back then, getting a tie-in with a TV drama or commercial and being sung frequently at karaoke were practically prerequisites for a hit.

This song is no exception: it features an easy-to-remember, catchy melody and lyrics, making it something just about anyone can casually sing along to.

When you sing it, try to keep the rhythm from becoming flat, don’t lag behind the groove, and make sure your high notes don’t sound weak.

If the high notes feel tough, go ahead and lower the key on the karaoke machine.

Masaki Suda 'Niji' (Rainbow)

This is actor and singer Masaki Suda’s fifth single overall, released on November 25, 2020.

It was chosen as the theme song for the Toho-distributed film “STAND BY ME Doraemon 2.” In terms of tempo, it’s a medium-to-slow ballad, and rhythmically I think it’s very easy to sing.

The vocal melody line is beautifully fluid, with no gimmicky twists, so in that sense as well, it’s probably easy for anyone to sing.

Suda himself delivers a very “masculine” vocal performance, and likewise, rather than trying to sing too politely, it might work to tackle the high notes with a slightly forceful nuance.

From my perspective as a vocal coach, it’s not a singing approach I’d particularly recommend (lol).
