Lady Gaga – Poker Face (Official Music Video)

Lady Gaga, a world-renowned singer who is also very well-known in Japan.

One of her signature songs is “Poker Face.” Since almost everyone has heard it, it’s easy to get the crowd going, and because it has many repeated parts, it’s easy to sing even if you’re not confident in English.

Katy Perry – Firework (Official Music Video)

This song by Katy Perry awakens the strength that lies dormant in your heart.

The lyrics leave a strong impression, encouraging you to cherish your individuality and become a shining presence.

Released in December 2010, it reached No.

1 on the Billboard charts and is included on the album Teenage Dream.

It’s recommended for times when you want to move forward with confidence or believe in your potential.

At karaoke, you might surprise everyone by belting out the high notes in the chorus.

Why not unleash your inner radiance, too?

bad guyBillie Eilish17rank/position

Billie Eilish – bad guy

The worldwide hit song “bad guy.” It’s Billie Eilish’s signature track.

If you know it, you’ll already be aware that this song has no long tones, no vibrato, no high parts, and no shouting.

In other words, it’s a kind, easy-to-sing song that lets you sound cool just by nailing the vibe (lol).

Basically, as long as you can pronounce the English properly, anyone can sing it well.

But! If you want to make it sound even cooler, try singing it with intensity—mix in some shouts with a thicker voice, okay? If you can pull that off, you’re basically at a pro level.

Die With A SmileLady Gaga, Bruno Mars18rank/position

Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars – Die With A Smile (Official Music Video)

The song “Die With A Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.

Perhaps in line with the revival boom, this piece is crafted to evoke the neo-soul of the 1970s.

Since it falls under Black music genres, it might seem challenging, but because it doesn’t feature much of the technique known as “fake” in Western music—similar to the “kobushi” ornamentation in enka—the overall difficulty is relatively low.

If you can’t hit the falsetto in the chorus, try raising the key instead until you can produce a clear falsetto.

Break Free ft. ZeddAriana Grande19rank/position

Ariana Grande – Break Free (Official Video) ft. Zedd

Ariana Grande’s biggest dance hit, hugely popular among young people around the world.

It’s a powerful song about a woman who started dating someone but, over time, realized the relationship was full of trouble and not good for her—so she declares, “I’m breaking free now!” While many of her songs demand high-level vocal skills, this one is relatively easy to sing and super catchy, making it a great pick for karaoke!

…Baby One More TimeBritney Spears20rank/position

Britney Spears – …Baby One More Time (Official Video)

Britney Spears’s hit song “…Baby One More Time.” Compared to the other songs introduced here, this one is a bit more difficult, but if you’re confident in your lower range, you should be able to sing it with ease.

Genre-wise, it probably leans closest to R&B… Wait, isn’t R&B hard? If that’s what you’re thinking—don’t worry.

While this song features many R&B-style phrases, it doesn’t include any of the “runs” (vocal embellishments) commonly used in R&B! So it’s actually fairly easy to sing.

That said, the lyrics are sparse, which makes it harder to cover up mistakes.

If you still want a way to fudge it a bit, try incorporating edge voice—a technique where you slightly constrict your throat while singing.

Wide AwakeKaty Perry21rank/position

Katy Perry – Wide Awake (Official Video)

This is a karaoke song by Katy Perry, who enjoys high popularity thanks to her catchy vocal work and pop-leaning artist persona.

It’s also increasingly popular among women in their 30s, and its uncomplicated chord progression makes it easier to sing even for those who are tone-deaf.
