Take It slowMeteor
Meteor is a vocal group drawing attention from hardcore music enthusiasts as one of the most sophisticated acts in Japan’s R&B scene.
Though the trio’s identities remain a mystery, their vocal prowess is exceptional—on par with, if not surpassing, many Black artists.
Among their tracks, the one I particularly recommend is Take It slow.
It distills core R&B and soul techniques, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to build foundational vocal skills in Black music.

Among SEKAI NO OWARI’s songs, “Tenshi to Akuma,” released in November 2010, is often cited as one of the easiest to sing.
The lyrics, which touch on bullying and justice, are also striking.
People who encountered the song during their school days have said things like, “Now that I’m an adult, I understand that righteousness alone isn’t justice,” and “Every time I listen, I want to be more tolerant of everything.” Not only is it easy to sing, but it’s also a song packed with lessons we should learn while living in modern society—one you should definitely try singing at karaoke.
