Kumi Koda’s Most Popular Karaoke Songs Ranking [2025]

Gentle WordsKumi Koda8rank/position

Koda Kumi - “Gentle Words” ~ 20th Year Special Full Ver. ~

Released in 2003, this is a ballad about a painful love.

It was also used in a commercial for Sato Pharmaceutical’s “Stona.” The song portrays a woman’s inner conflict: she wants to support her lover’s dreams, yet fears she’ll be left behind if she does.

As a ballad, the tempo lets you follow the melody without rushing, and the limited vocal range makes it easy to sing.

Although it’s a love ballad, its calm atmosphere also makes it a suitable choice for adult listeners.

ChaO!Kumi Koda9rank/position

Kumi Koda - 'ChaO!' (Official Music Video)

ChaO! is more about the groove than the “singing.” If you really move your body and get into the rhythm as you sing, you’ll find it consistently enjoyable, so if you’re not confident in your pitch, a song like this is a great choice! The chorus uses a lot of notes around the mid–2 range, but if you’re locked into the groove, that range should come out smoothly.

Don’t tense up—let the notes flow comfortably.

At the very end of the song, you might wonder whether to sing the lyrics line or the long-held note; either one sounds cool, so just go with the one you want to sing!

PromiseKumi Koda12rank/position

Kumi Koda / “Promise” (from the new album “WINTER of LOVE”)

Among women in their 30s, especially those 34 and under, wouldn’t it be fair to say that Kumi Koda is more of their generation than Ayumi Hamasaki? Kumi Koda’s sexy vocals and emotionally rich expressiveness are captivating, and her song “Promise,” while showcasing those qualities, is arranged to be very easy to sing.

The song definitely builds as a piece of music, but the rise in intensity toward the chorus is gentle, and the vocal range isn’t wide.

If you focus on dynamics and keep your pitch on track, aiming for a high score should be easy.
