You know,Aimyon
It’s Aimyon’s 15th single in total, released in December 2023.
It was written as the theme song for the film “Totto-chan: The Little Girl at the Window.” It’s a slightly wistful and lovely track, with Aimyon’s slightly husky voice resonating in a way that really touches the heart.
Because of that character, the vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, making it a great choice when you want to enjoy karaoke without changing the key.
That said, precisely because it’s such a simple song, it does demand a fairly high level of expressive singing.
It’s easy to approach, but the deeper you dig, the more profound it becomes—a song like that.
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Yo Hitoto
It’s Yo Hitoto’s fifth single overall, released in February 2004.
It’s a very beautiful ballad and one of her signature songs, so I imagine many people have heard it at least once.
The vocal melody doesn’t span an especially wide range, so with a key adjustment, many singers should be able to perform it comfortably.
I think that’s one reason why the song has continued to be loved years after its release.
If you aim to sing it precisely, it does demand various techniques and a sense for vocal expression, but because the range itself isn’t too demanding, it’s also an ideal piece to practice and develop those skills.
LOOPMone Kamishiraishi
A digital-only single by Mone Kamishiraishi, released in December 2023.
It was produced as the theme song for the special drama “Jitenshinagara Kōten Suru,” which aired on Yomiuri TV and Nippon TV in December 2023.
The song is very gentle, with a warm, laid-back mood throughout, so even singers without a wide vocal range should be able to choose it for karaoke and sing it comfortably.
If the singing becomes forceful, it can ruin the song’s atmosphere, so try to maintain a soft touch from start to finish.
Aim to sing as if you’re slowly and softly exhaling, and try to place the voice broadly inside your mouth; doing so should help you achieve a pleasant sound.
Give it a try.
SoupSakura Fujiwara
This is Sakura Fujiwara’s debut single, released in June 2016.
Incidentally, the lyrics, composition, and production were handled by Masaharu Fukuyama.
The vocal melody doesn’t use extremely low or high notes throughout the song, so it might be an ideal karaoke choice for women who feel hesitant about singing due to a limited vocal range.
The song maintains a relaxed, heartwarming mood from start to finish, so while keeping a slightly bouncy groove, be careful not to rush the vocals or make the pronunciation of the lyrics sound rough.
It seems there’s also a version sung by Masaharu Fukuyama, who produced the track, so it could be helpful to check that out as a reference.
OmakaseATARASHII GAKKO!
With their eccentric style, the idol group Atarashii Gakko! has garnered popularity not only in Japan but around the world.
Their signature sound blends hip-hop with kayōkyoku (Japanese pop), producing songs that feel retro yet innovative, and each release becomes a hit.
Their new track, Omakase, continues this trend.
This song leans especially strongly into kayōkyoku elements, resulting in a vocal line that’s easy for Japanese listeners to sing.
The rap sections don’t feature particularly tricky flows either, so you should be able to sing it comfortably in the original key.
Are you serious? (Prod. Chaki Zulu)Awich
The drama Queen of Villains, currently a hot topic on Netflix.
Awich’s Are you serious? (Prod.
Chaki Zulu) was released as the show’s main theme song.
The track is a hip-hop number with a gangsta-rap vibe.
The flow is simple, and since there’s no sung vocal part, anyone familiar with rapping can smoothly perform it in the original key.
The English sections are a bit tricky, but try emphasizing the R sound and similar techniques to work through them.
Operation Awake (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi
Yukopi is a Vocaloid producer who has gained support for their cute and unique musical style.
Their strong individuality—something you can recognize as Yukopi’s music the moment you hear it—sets them apart from other Vocaloid producers and has earned them a passionate following within parts of the Vocaloid community.
Among Yukopi’s tracks, the one I especially recommend as a song you can sing in the original key is “Okiteru Daisakusen (feat.
Kaai Yuki).” Not only does it have a narrow vocal range, but it also features many rests, making it straightforward and easy to sing purely as a vocal piece.
