We’ve selected many songs with simple melodies and rhythms that are easy to remember, so please use this as a reference!

Even karaoke beginners can relax! Songs that are easy for men to sing (321–330)

Beautiful ThingsTakuya Kimura

Takuya Kimura, a former member of SMAP, has been actively working as an artist recently.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is Beautiful Things.

Composed by Dai Hirai, it has a calm, chill vibe.

There aren’t many sudden pitch changes, and the rhythm is very easy to follow, so most men should be able to sing it without trouble.

Also, don’t miss the guitar solo in the middle that pays homage to Eric Clapton’s Change the World!

The End of SummerNaotaro Moriyama

It was Naotaro Moriyama’s third single, released in August 2003.

It also served as the ending theme for Asahi Broadcasting/TV Asahi’s “Nettou Koshien” in 2003.

Moriyama isn’t what you’d call a “technically virtuosic” vocalist; he sings in a simple, conversational style, which makes this song perfect for casually humming along.

However, the falsetto used frequently in the chorus may take some time to master.

If you’re not confident, one option is to lower the key to a range you can sing in chest voice.

Goodbye, KobeEiichi Takahashi

The song selection is aimed at a slightly older audience.

It’s the third single by Eiichi Takahashi, a newcomer singer from Shiga Prefecture in his 60s, released in July 2018.

Popular enka singer Nobutaka Oishi provided the song, writing both the lyrics and music.

The piece really brings out the charm of his sweet low register, so it’s a track I especially recommend to those confident in their mid-to-low range.

The title call at the end of the chorus goes a bit higher, but even if you’re not strong with high notes, it should be within reach—so please sing it through to the end, powerfully and resonantly.

Kiss and FriendMy Hair is Bad

Kiss and Friend My Hair is Bad

This song, with lyrics that strikingly portray a man in a so-called “kept” lifestyle as the protagonist, is a track from the 2016 album “woman’s.” It features My Hair is Bad’s signature sharp guitar sound and a lively beat, making it a very pleasant listen.

The vocal range is just over one octave, relatively narrow, and the melody isn’t complex, so it should be easy to sing.

Since the contrast between the energetic sections and the quieter parts is a key characteristic, it’s best to listen closely to the original track once before giving it a try.

Carnival of Flames and ForestsSEKAI NO OWARI

Flame and Forest Carnival SEKAI NO OWARI

This is the sixth major (eighth overall) single by the Japanese band SEKAI NO OWARI, released in April 2014.

It was used as the song for NTT Plala’s Hikari TV commercial.

When you listen to the original, many people may think, “I can’t sing that high!” partly because of the vocalist’s timbre.

But aside from that, the vocal melody itself doesn’t actually have large leaps or dramatic ups and downs, making it very easy to remember and sing.

It has a bright, energetic, march-like feel, and even if you lower the key, it’ll sound good if you try to sing with as bright a tone as possible.

Give it a try!

At KoenjiPEOPLE 1

PEOPLE 1 at Koenji

PEOPLE 1 is a band with a retro sound that evokes 1990s Japanese punk rock.

While their core is alternative rock, they have a strong punk edge, and every release packs a punch.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is their new song Koenji nite.

It features an emotive, “emo” melody.

It’s a piece with very strong punk rock elements and an overall powerful feel, yet the vocal range is surprisingly narrow.

Even the high parts can be shouted rather than sung cleanly, so it’s especially recommended for men who struggle to produce a clear, clean tone.

InahoNo Buses

No Buses, a band with a refined musical sensibility, is highly regarded by hardcore Japanese rock enthusiasts.

While they excel at alternative rock, garage rock, and indie rock, their new track Inaho puts indie rock front and center.

The vocal line—sung plainly in the midrange, a hallmark of indie rock—really stands out.

When performing it yourself, I recommend deliberately lowering the key to emphasize the depth and richness of your voice.
