Lovely karaoke song

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!
Music producer, composer, vocal coach, keyboard playerKei Takahata
From around 1995 to 2000, I built experience with a major label as a composer and producer. I then moved to the United States and studied voice and singing under Elizabeth Sabine, one of Los Angeles’s top vocal coaches, mastering the so-called Hollywood vocal technique advocated by Sabine. After returning to Japan, I have been involved in training and producing a variety of singers. My direction, which brings out the full appeal of both the music and the vocalist, is highly regarded. In the collaboration video with Vo. ryuichi of the band Guild below, I handled keyboards, vocal direction, and sound production.

I think there are many people who aren’t good at singing or don’t feel very confident about it.

But if you always turn down or shy away from joining karaoke outings, it might cause issues in your friendships or workplace relationships.

In this article, I’ve gathered songs that seem easier to sing, even for those who usually say things like “I’m not good at singing” or “I’m tone-deaf.”

Since many recent songs have complex melodies, I’ve included quite a few nostalgic tracks from the ’90s and earlier.

If you’re at karaoke with seniors or your bosses, that kind of song selection might actually be a good fit.

Some of the song descriptions include quick tips on how to make them sound good, so feel free to use them as a reference when you sing!

Memory ScrollNEW!AKB48

[AKB48] Memory Scroll Lyric Video / Yasushi Akimoto × AI Yasushi Akimoto

Memory Scroll NEW! AKB48

It’s an idol song, but since it’s not overly sparkly, I think it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

The structure is very straightforward—verse A to verse B to the chorus—with the energy building in order, so even if your range is narrow, adding momentum to each melodic section may help you gradually get a feel for projecting your voice.

That said, the chorus is a bit high.

If it’s hard to sing in chest voice, don’t push yourself—use falsetto.

Falsetto uses a lot of breath, so with practice, you might suddenly find yourself able to produce a stronger falsetto! Try inhaling through your mouth properly and singing as if you’re sending your voice forward.

FOREVERCHANMINA

FOREVER

FOREVER Chanmina

Chanmina is a leading female rapper representing Japan.

In addition to her rap skills, she’s an excellent vocalist, and her broad musical range has earned her support from women from their teens up to around their thirties.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “FOREVER.” While it does include rap elements, it’s closer to the alternative genre, with a restrained, singable vocal line throughout.

KILL LOVEano

KILL LOVEano

At tempo 192, ano’s “KILL LOVE” is a very fast, band-driven track.

The structure builds to a big lift in the chorus, making it a super refreshing song to sing! The range isn’t that high, so you can comfortably sing it in chest voice.

In the A and B sections, sing with ano’s usual laid-back, conversational vibe, while the chorus turns full-on rock in both lyrics and feel—so it’ll sound coolest if you belt it out with an “unleash your feelings” kind of emotion.

Also, since the tempo is very fast, pay attention to your breath placement.

The chorus especially has continuous melodies, so take a deep breath right before it, and be careful not to blow out all your air at once—manage your airflow! If you tense your chest and shoulders when inhaling, you’ll slip into shallow chest breathing and won’t get enough air.

Keep your shoulders relaxed and focus on directing the breath into your abdomen.

Until I know loveAimyon

Aimyon – Until I Know Love [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Aimer until I learn what love is

This is Aimyon’s 11th single, released on May 26, 2021.

It was put out as a double A-side single together with “Sakura no Furu Yoru wa.” It also serves as the theme song for Nippon TV’s Saturday drama “Konto ga Hajimaru.” Aimyon is by no means a singer lacking in vocal ability—in fact, she’s a wonderful vocalist with strong expressive power—but the vocal range used in the melody isn’t very wide, and the vocal lines are very familiar, easy to remember, and catchy.

In that sense, the hurdle is relatively low for people who aren’t confident singers to choose this as a karaoke pick.

The song I’m introducing here has a comfortably relaxed mid-tempo feel, so be careful not to rush the rhythm when you sing.

Also, like Aimyon’s own voice, it’s a song that brings out the charm of a simple singing style and natural tone, so don’t overdo it—stay relaxed and enjoy it casually.

There’s a section right before the final chorus where the accompaniment breaks and it becomes almost like a solo; that’s the highlight of the song, so give it your best there!

School HeavenKyoko Koizumi

"School Heaven" by Kyoko Koizumi

Kyoko Koizumi - Gakuen Tengoku (School Heaven)

This was Kyoko Koizumi’s 28th single, released on November 1, 1989.

It served as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.

m.

drama “Aishiatte Ru Kai!”.

By the way, this is a cover: the original was released in 1974 as Finger 5’s fourth single, and it was a massive hit that sold over a million copies.

As you’ll understand the moment you hear it, singing ability hardly matters for this song! When it comes to sounding good at karaoke, it’s no exaggeration to say it all depends on how well you can recreate its light, lively groove.

Don’t sweat the small stuff—just have everyone there join in a big sing-along and enjoy!

Cosmic TreatPerfume

Perfume is a dance-vocal unit that has been active for many years.

If you’re a woman in your 30s, you probably know them from when they debuted.

Lately, however, did you know that Perfume has been changing their musical style? Their track “Cosmic Treat” is primarily rooted in synthwave, a genre that was trendy in the 1980s.

The vocals are understated and there aren’t any difficult pitch shifts, so it should be easy for anyone to sing.

Jump to the Breeze Kumi Koda with Tetsuya Komuro

For women in their late 30s, Ayumi Hamasaki was likely the reigning diva, but for women around 30 to 33, many probably picture Kumi Koda when they hear the word “diva,” don’t you think? Even now, Kumi Koda continues to steadily release great songs, and one release she put out in collaboration with Tetsuya Komuro is “Jump to the Breeze.” This track shows hints of the so-called Komuro sound and features an exceptionally catchy vocal line throughout.

Its vocal range is also on the narrower side compared to modern pop, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
