With its catchy, cheerful rock ’n’ roll sound, it makes you want to move to the beat.

Released in 2001 as their 13th single, it was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Gakko no Sensei,” starring Tsuyoshi Domoto.

The lyrics and composition were done by YO-KING of the band Magokoro Brothers.

The unforced, relaxed vocal delivery is truly wonderful.

While there isn’t a large range in pitch, the melody is structured like spoken language, so practice capturing that nuance.

Bon-giri Love SongSouthern All Stars

This is Southern All Stars’ fourth digital-only single, released in July 2023.

The slightly bouncy beat leaves quite an impression.

The vocal melody doesn’t span a wide range, making it easy to hum along and enjoy, so it’s recommended for those who prioritize singability.

However, be careful not to sing the lyrics too flatly.

With a strong sense of rhythm, you’ll be able to sing this song more freely and enjoyably.

For those who like impersonations, trying a Kuwata-style vocal could be another fun twist.

Blow away your daily stress with this one track and put it to use for your well-being.

This is Sambomaster’s 23rd single overall, released in August 2023.

It was chosen as the theme song for the Toho-distributed animated film “SHIN Jigen! Crayon Shin-chan THE MOVIE: Super-Powered Great Battle ~Fly, Fly, Hand-Rolled Sushi~.” It’s an upbeat, lively pop-rock song that just makes you feel happy when you listen to it! The vocal melody is very simple and the vocal range used isn’t very wide, so I can confidently recommend it as a very easy song for anyone to sing! Ride the uptempo beat and have fun belting it out!

It’s okay, I’m sure.Masaki Suda

Masaki Suda – It’s Okay, Surely (Iin da yo, Kitto) cross-edit ver.
It’s fine—Masaki Suda will surely (be okay/save the day).

This song, with lyrics that feel like Masaki Suda is speaking to a young boy, really sparks your imagination of that scene.

If you’re singing it at karaoke, why not become the protagonist yourself and try singing as if you’re talking to a boy younger than you, conveying your feelings? Overall, the vocal range isn’t wide and there aren’t any notably high parts.

The medium tempo also makes it easy to sing.

Although it’s an album track and not very well-known, it’s a highly recommended number that’s very easy to sing among Masaki Suda’s songs.

This is a smash hit by Soul Scream, a straight-shooting artist immensely popular among people in their 30s, and one of the most well-known names in Japanese rap.

The melody hardly changes, making it easy to sing, and the rapid-fire sections are perfect for showing off your skills at karaoke—highly recommended as a karaoke song.

I should be able to fly (in the sky).Spitz

Spitz / I Should Be Able to Fly in the Sky
Spitz - Soramo Toberu Hazu (I Should Be Able to Fly in the Sky)

Spitz’s classic song “Sora mo Toberu Hazu” (“We Should Be Able to Fly”).

When it comes to Spitz, you might think their songs are hard to sing because of the very high vocals.

It’s true that at first listen this track also seems high, but in fact its vocal range isn’t particularly wide.

As a result, most men in their 30s should be able to sing it smoothly without straining.

In addition, there aren’t any sections that rely heavily on vibrato, so you can deliver it nicely even without fancy techniques.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Sync Of Summer Tatsuro Yamashita

This is Tatsuro Yamashita’s 53rd single, released in July 2023.

It was reportedly written specifically as a song for Kirin’s “Gogo no Kocha” (Afternoon Tea) commercial.

When you think of summer, you think of Tatsuro Yamashita!! That image, combined with the song’s title, makes this a summer anthem overflowing with his signature style that truly evokes the season.

The melody crafted with that trademark Yamashita touch doesn’t span a particularly wide vocal range, so it should be very easy to sing even for people who don’t usually sing much.

Throughout the song, it feels best not to overemote—sing it a bit bluntly, with a touch of nonchalance.
