Sharam Q “Single Bed” (Music Video)

Here’s a recommendation from Sharam Q’s classic hits.

It’s one of their signature ballads, and skilled singers can deliver it with a soothing touch.

Even for those who aren’t very confident at karaoke, the melody doesn’t have a wide pitch range, so it should be relatively easy to sing.

Fujifabric – Youth of Everything

This is everything about youth.

This song contains everything about youth.

I feel Fujifabric’s vocalist really suits the delicate timbre of a Japanese voice.

The lyrics are very easy to sing, and it’s a song that people won’t turn their noses up at.

It has a nicely balanced ambient feel.

OH MY LITTLE GIRLYutaka Ozaki

Yutaka Ozaki – Oh My Little Girl

From Yutaka Ozaki’s 13th single.

It’s his only million-selling single and became his biggest hit in terms of sales.

As the title suggests, it’s a ballad expressing feelings for a woman.

It’s easy to sing and has a beautiful melody, so it’s a song I’d definitely like men to sing at mixers.

Aimer “Chouchou Musubi” (produced and written by Yojiro Noda of RADWIMPS)

The 11th single “Cho-Cho Musubi,” which drew attention for being written and produced by Yojiro Noda of RADWIMPS, was also used as the theme song for the information program Sukkiri!!.

The lyrics unfold a story that expands from the theme suggested by the title, leaving a strong impression.

While it’s a challenging song due to its high key and numerous melodic movements, the overall range isn’t that wide, so it becomes easier to sing if you adjust the key to suit your voice.

With its relaxed tempo, it’s a number where you can calmly follow the melody and still capture attention at karaoke.
