Karaoke songs you can enjoy singing in your natural voice without changing the key

ActorNEW!Lila Ikuta

Actor

This song, written and composed by Rira Ikuta, is used as the ending theme for the TV anime SPY×FAMILY Season 3.

Rira Ikuta, known as the vocalist of YOASOBI, is famous for her clear, translucent voice.

“Actor” features a melody line that isn’t too difficult and a range that isn’t overly high.

It’s easier to memorize and sing compared to other songs! When you listen to it, the verse sits quite low… I recommend opening your throat with a slightly surprised expression and singing as if you’re letting the breath flow.

In the chorus, it might work to sing mostly in head voice/falsetto.

However, since it’s a bright-sounding song, you’ll want to avoid a weak falsetto.

Try to sing with the image of constantly resonating in the head and firmly projecting your breath as voice!

You don't listen to rock.Aimyon

Aimyon – You Don’t Listen to Rock [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

This is Aimyon’s third major single, released in March 2018.

The vocal melody spans E3 to E5, so I think most women can probably sing it without changing the key.

In the chorus, where the highest notes occur, try to avoid tightening your throat as much as possible, and be careful not to let your singing sound weak.

Thunderous applauseLiSA

LiSA “Simultaneous Applause” -MUSIC CLIP- (Official Theme Song for ABEMA and TV Asahi’s FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Programs)

A track from LiSA’s sixth studio album, LANDER, which was released in November 2022.

It was selected as the official theme song for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 TV coverage.

It’s a very cool song with a slightly heavy sound, ranging from mid-tempo to up-tempo.

LiSA’s vocals riding over the heavy backing track are powerful and impactful, and because the vocal melody is centered mostly in the low-to-mid range, I think it’s a great pick for women who want to sing it in the original key at karaoke.

There are parts in the chorus that are sung in falsetto, so practice switching smoothly between registers there.

366 daysNEW!HY

HY – 366 Days (Official Music Video)

HY’s classic song “366 Days.” This track is beloved across a wide range of ages, from younger listeners up to people in their 40s.

It’s a karaoke staple, so many of you have probably sung it at least once.

Its vocal range spans from mid1 E to hi G#, which is very wide, making it a bit challenging to sing without adjusting the key.

However, apart from the extremely high falsetto ad-libs in the final chorus, if you can handle the light falsetto in the B section, you can try arranging the ad-lib part in your own way.

Doing so will significantly narrow the required range, which is recommended.

Spring DayNEW!Aimyon

Aimyon – Harunohi [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Among Aimyon’s songs, “Harunohi” is particularly easy to sing in the original key.

I even had a male student who tackled it in the original key! The song itself is a bit long at about five and a half minutes, and once the singing starts it’s nonstop, but it’s widely known across all ages and genders, so it works well for karaoke.

That nonstop singing part can be a bit tough.

If you’re mindful of your breath timing and where to place accents, it becomes easier to sing without running out of breath.

Also, since the structure builds sequentially—A verse → B verse → chorus—it’s important to consciously add a little more energy to each phrase.

Right before the chorus, the high notes are the key: imagine sprinting up a staircase and project your voice firmly.

Give it a try!

shameless; indecentNEW!CHANMINA

CHANMINA – Lewd (Official Music Video) –

Chanmina’s Harenchi is sung mostly in a lower register, giving off a mature, sultry vibe.

Just when you think it will end quietly, the last chorus turns emotional and shifts into a slightly higher range.

I think that switch is really important.

There’s also a rap section in the middle, so that part needs practice too.

My students practiced the rap section a lot as well.

When the rap really lands, it feels great to sing and sounds very cool.

For the rap melody, it seems easy to memorize if you first focus on humming or using a neutral syllable like “la” instead of the lyrics.

Try singing without forcing or pushing your voice!

Lingering SnowNEW!dolphin

Dolphin [Iruka] / Nagori-yuki [Lingering Snow] (Single Version) Official Audio with translation

Iruka’s song “Nagori Yuki,” long cherished as a classic in Japan.

Released in 1974, it’s rooted in the then-popular folk music genre, and while it’s moving, it retains a certain folk-like poignancy.

It was originally a Kaguyahime song, but many people are probably more familiar with Iruka’s cover.

The song’s vocal range is relatively narrow, from mid1 D to mid2 G.

With the highest note at mid2 G, few should find it difficult to sing in the original key.

The A verse is somewhat spoken in style, so there are slightly fewer breakpoints, but as long as you don’t push your voice too hard, it shouldn’t be a problem.
