Mariah Carey – Fantasy (Official 4K Video)

This karaoke song by the diva Mariah Carey, whose powerful vocal work proves her high musicality and commands overwhelming popularity worldwide, is especially favored by women in their 30s.

Its melody is easy to sing, with a range that even those who struggle with pitch can comfortably try.

What A FeelingIrene Cara72rank/position

Irene Cara – Flashdance What A Feeling (Official Music Video)

Irene Cara’s hit single.

It’s also famous as the theme song for the 1983 film “Flashdance.” In Japan, it was used as the theme song for the TV drama “Stewardess Story.” Just hearing the intro probably gets a lot of people moving already.

Be sure to sing it while you dance!

Baby, Come BackPlayer73rank/position

Player – Baby Come Back

It’s a song released in 1978 by the American band Player, and it even reached No.

1 on the Billboard charts.

(They didn’t have much success afterward, so they’re kind of a one-hit wonder.) I don’t think it’s too difficult to sing at karaoke.

It sounds even cooler if you can harmonize on the chorus.

Wonderful TonightEric Clapton74rank/position

“You look wonderful tonight.” Japanese men are often too shy to say it, but even a simple line like this will make a woman fall head over heels.

Eric Clapton’s rugged voice really gives off that “sexy middle-aged man” vibe, and it’s great.

Addicted To LoveRobert Palmer75rank/position

Robert Palmer – Addicted To Love (Official Music Video)

A love song by Robert Palmer whose disco-tinged textures and the band’s exhilarating musicianship invite you into a pop-leaning mood.

Its lyrics, which portray pure love, are vibrant and make it a karaoke-friendly song that even men in their 60s can enjoy singing.

Tears in HeavenEric Clapton76rank/position

Eric Clapton – Tears In Heaven (Official Video)

Eric Clapton, lauded worldwide as a guitar god, released this ballad—wrapped in gentle acoustic guitar tones—in 1992 as the theme song for the film Rush.

Behind the song lies a tragic event: the heartbreaking accident involving his son in 1991.

The lyrics, asking whether they might meet again in heaven, reflect a father seeking a glimmer of hope amid profound sorrow.

This classic, which won three major Grammy Awards, is easy to sing thanks to its relaxed tempo and accessible range; those who used to listen to it will likely find themselves singing it with nostalgia and deep feeling.

It’s a perfect choice for moments when you want to deliver something tender and moving.

Mrs. RobinsonSimon&Garfunkel77rank/position

Simon & Garfunkel – Mrs. Robinson (Audio)

It’s a classic by Simon & Garfunkel.

The gentle, soothing melody line is memorable, but it’s not a difficult song to sing and I’d say it’s well-suited for karaoke.

Bridge Over Troubled Water requires a lot of emotional expression, so I recommend this one instead.

Scarborough Fair is great too, though.
