When it comes to Mariah Carey songs that are best known among Japanese people and adored by women in their 40s, I think it has to be “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” It was used in the TV drama “29-sai no Christmas,” which I believe boosted its recognition in Japan.

The music video plays often during the Christmas season, and every time I see it, I think, “Mariah Carey was still slim back then.”

Mariah Carey’s signature song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Although this piece is often cited as a difficult song, it’s not without singable elements.

The tricky part is mainly the slow-tempo opening; once the beat kicks in and the tempo picks up, the kind of wide-interval vocal runs heard in the intro appear less frequently.

Even so, the overall difficulty remains on the higher side, but given its top-tier recognition and popularity, it’s well worth the challenge.

It peaked at number 10 on the US Billboard chart, but was ranked fourth on Billboard’s list of best songs of 2014.

The pure lyrics—sung while thinking of someone she loves in Kyoto—are captivating: “If you’re with me, there’s no better place to be.”

Avril Lavigne – Complicated (Official Video)

This is a song by Avril Lavigne, released in June 2002 as her debut single.

It’s a pop-rock number about people hiding their true selves to fit in with others.

Its message—“Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?”—is conveyed through straightforward lyrics.

The track appears on the album Let Go and became a massive hit, selling over 16 million copies worldwide.

It also won the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist in a Video.

It’s a perfect pick for anyone who wants to stay true to themselves—and it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser if you sing it with friends at karaoke.

Taylor Swift – Love Story

A love song by Taylor Swift, defined by the comfort of its acoustic sound, crystal-clear, transparent vocals, and a meticulously crafted visual and artist persona.

It’s admired by teenage girls and is a staple for karaoke, creating a lively atmosphere with a distinctly Western pop vibe.

Try EverythingShakira98rank/position

Shakira – Try Everything (Official Video)

Just like with R&B and soul, I think many people feel a bit uncomfortable with reggaeton and Latin music.

For those people, I recommend Try Everything.

It’s sung by Shakira, who is from Colombia, but actually, she doesn’t have a powerful voice.

Maybe because of that vocal quality, many of her songs don’t rely on shouting even in the chorus.

This song is like that, and so is the famous Waka Waka.

You do need a bit of vibrato technique, but even if you can’t hit very high notes, you can sing it without any problem.
