POP STARKen Hirai
It’s Ken Hirai’s 23rd single, released in October 2005.
You might think, “Why recommend a Ken Hirai song when I’m not good at singing!?” but it’s an upbeat, lively track, and in that sense it’s very easy for anyone to sing.
The chorus melody is also very simple and easy to remember, so there’s nothing to be afraid of there.
However, if you want to sing it in the original key like he does, you’ll need to properly switch between chest voice, falsetto, and mixed voice, so please be careful when setting the key.
The actual vocal range used isn’t that wide, so as long as you research and choose the right key beforehand, you should be fine.
Also, if you’re not confident, feel free to skip the ad-lib sections—the parts without lyrics where he goes like “Uh~~.”
Stay GoldHi-STANDARD
Hi-STANDARD’s classic “Stay Gold.” Characterized by a uniquely creative sound that blends alternative rock with hardcore punk and melodic hardcore, it became a massive hit in the 1990s.
The most singable aspect of this track is, above all, its rough vocals.
Instead of delicate vocal control, it leans on gritty, hard-edged singing, which gives you a fair bit of leeway.
The louder your vocal timbre, the more this song shines—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Let's become a familyMasaharu Fukuyama
This is Masaharu Fukuyama’s 27th single, released on August 31, 2011.
As of May 2022, many people now in their 30s probably listened to this song during their sensitive, impressionable years in their 20s.
It was used as the CM song for Recruit’s wedding magazine Zexy and as the image song for TV Tokyo’s variety show “Let’s Become a Family.” The track is a gentle ballad that lets you fully enjoy Fukuyama’s unadorned vocal charm.
The vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, so I think just about anyone can sing it comfortably.
Try singing it in a way that preserves the song’s tender atmosphere.
A good tip for making it sound nice is to consciously place the voice as if it’s resonating toward your lower jaw and really engage your chest resonance.
Give it a try!
Mononoke DanceDenki Groove
This is a Denki Groove track featuring a serious, almost single-pitch vocal over techno music, making it easy to sing even for those who struggle with pitch.
As it is also the theme song for GeGeGe no Kitaro, it works great as an upbeat karaoke song.
KanadeSukima Switch
A classic by Sukima Switch that continues to move countless hearts with its touching melody and deeply resonant lyrics.
Centered on themes of parting, reunion, and unchanging bonds, the words truly strike a chord with listeners.
Released in March 2004 and included on the album “Natsu Kumo Noise,” it was also used as an insert song for the film “Rough” and as the theme song for the drama “Sotsu Uta,” earning love from a wide audience.
Popular at karaoke, it’s a song that accompanies life’s milestones, such as graduation or moving away.
This work is recommended for those who, after experiencing a farewell with someone precious, are trying to look forward while carrying those memories in their hearts.
An unfinished love song I've been working on foreverMotohiro Hata
A gem of a ballad inspired by the film’s protagonist, who keeps writing love letters to his wife.
Hata Motohiro’s warm, gentle vocals beautifully express the unwavering love of a long-married couple.
Our feelings for a lifelong partner deepen day by day, and their presence brings new colors to life.
This moving work spins an inexhaustible form of love into a beautiful melody.
Written as the theme song for the film “Love Letter: Year 35,” released in February 2025, it was issued as a CD single in March of the same year.
Reflecting the film’s worldview in vivid detail, the song will surely offer a lovely time—both as a prompt to face someone dear to you and as a heartwarming companion to your moviegoing experience.
the red threadKobukuro
This is a long ballad that carefully depicts the feelings of a young person entering a rough patch with their partner, unfolding over seven minutes.
As a year passes, the protagonist’s heart gradually starts to look forward, and that progression is portrayed in a striking way.
Included on the album “Root of my mind,” which Kobukuro produced soon after forming, the song gently conveys the importance of trust in love.
It’s recommended for those who, while struggling with a relationship with someone important, still want to cherish their feelings for each other.
It’s a song you’ll want to sing with all your heart at solo karaoke or in the company of close friends.
