This song was released as Daniel Powter’s first single.

In Japan, it was used as an insert song for the TV drama “Regatta: Kimi to Ita Eien,” and it became a massive hit around the world.

The melody line is easy to remember, making it relatively easy to sing.

If you find Western songs difficult, it might be because you’re trying to sing music you’re not familiar with in the first place.

So I’d like to recommend “YMCA” by Village People.

In Japan, Hideki Saijo’s cover version “YOUNG MAN (Y.

M.

C.

A.

)” is well-known.

Not only is the melody the same, but the chorus lyrics are almost identical, so even if you’ve only ever heard the cover version, you should be able to sing it.

Plus, performing it at karaoke has the added benefit of getting everyone hyped with the famous choreography.

Ray Stevens is an indispensable figure when talking about country music.

His signature song is “Everything is Beautiful.” As the title suggests, it’s a song that celebrates the wonders of the world.

Because of that, it fits all kinds of occasions—celebrations, dates, and more.

The melody and vocals follow classic country music style, so it’s a great pick for those who aren’t comfortable with fast tempos or high notes.

It’s perfect to sing solo, and it also works wonderfully when you want to sing with a group.

Die For YouJoji

George, an artist from Japan who shares his music with the world, works on Western-style songs but is still Japanese, so many people feel a sense of familiarity with him.

One of his tracks, released in 2022, is “Die For You.” It’s a ballad that depicts the sorrow of heartbreak, featuring very heavy and sad lyrics.

The standout feature is the chorus with high notes and vibrato.

Try focusing your practice on that part.

Using a slightly raspy tone when you sing is also a helpful tip.

Ed Sheeran, the British singer-songwriter.

This song, which evokes folk-inspired music you might feel you’ve heard somewhere from the very intro, was crafted by Ed himself.

Amid its gentle sound, it conveys a straightforward love for a single woman.

It’s slow-tempo, so I think it’s easy to sing!

Basket CaseGreen Day

It’s a popular song included on Green Day’s major-label debut album “Dookie,” released in 1994.

The lyrics center on the theme of “struggling with anxiety,” but for us, it’s a rock number that’s easy to sing, isn’t it?

CreepRediohead

This is a song included on Radiohead’s 1993 album Pablo Honey, the album that propelled them to become one of the UK’s leading rock bands.

It was the track that helped the band break through, and even today I believe many fans still hold the deepest respect for this song.
