The arrangement opens with a memorable piano tone, gently complementing lyrics that portray a steadfast love for both the good and bad sides of a partner.
There are a few rapid-fire phrases here and there, but because the melody is simple, you should be able to sing it well as long as you mind the tempo.
The vocal range isn’t wide either, so even if the original key doesn’t suit you, adjusting it should make the song easy to sing.
It’s a highly recommended pick for karaoke.

Wish Upon A StarKana Nishino
The song “Wish Upon A Star,” included on the 6th album Just LOVE.
Its lyrics portray the feelings of someone with an unrequited crush who doesn’t ask for much, and many listeners will likely find themselves relating it to their own experiences.
The melody moves up and down in small steps, but since the range isn’t very wide and the tempo is relaxed, it’s easy to sing calmly—even at karaoke.
At under three minutes long, this sentimental number is also easy to try because of its short length.
User ManualKana Nishino
The 27th single “Torisetsu,” written as the theme song for the film Heroine Shikkaku, features lyrics like an instruction manual that depict the kind of maiden’s heart that men often find hard to understand, and it created a big buzz.
It also became popular as a wedding staple.
The rapid-fire melody in the A section makes breathing spots tricky, but because many parts progress with a steady pitch, once you memorize it, you’ll likely find it easier to sing than it sounds.
However, be careful in the chorus, where there are large leaps in pitch, so you don’t miss the notes.
