Top 10 karaoke songs recommended for men in their 20s that are easy to sing even for those who are tone-deaf
Leylinego!go!vanillas
go!go!vanillas is a pop-rock band that debuted in 2014.
Their sound, which incorporates a wide range of genres like R&B and pop rock, is especially popular.
Among their songs, I recommend Leyline.
I chose it for those who want to sing a track that uses falsetto.
While it’s a bit more challenging than typical songs due to the frequent use of falsetto, its slow tempo gives you plenty of time to prepare for those transitions.
Plus, instead of a sharp, piercing falsetto like in funk, this track uses a slightly breathy falsetto, which makes it easier to produce—another point in its favor.
LazuliMONGOL800×WANIMA
The collaboration piece Lazuli by MONGOL800 and WANIMA.
From its release, it drew attention in the Japanese rock scene because two highly compatible bands were performing together.
This track is also very easy to sing.
Although MONGOL800 is a rock band, their vocal lines are understated, and this song is no exception, featuring a melody with little pitch movement.
Even within that vocal line, you can still clearly feel WANIMA’s signature style, but since the range is narrow and there are no high parts, it’s easy for anyone to sing.
wavy or curly hairSaucy Dog
Saucy Dog is a band known for their catchy musical style.
When it comes to Saucy Dog, many people find their songs hard to sing because of the distinctive high vocals.
That’s why I recommend Kusege.
Among Saucy Dog’s tracks, this one has a relatively narrow vocal range, and there’s no difficult falsetto at all.
The tempo is mid-range, so you won’t have to worry about tricky breathing either.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
AKASAKI is a singer-songwriter currently in his senior year of high school.
Hoping to gain his parents’ approval for his career as an artist, he set his sights on scoring a streaming hit.
With his new track Bunny Girl, he’s finally achieved nationwide success.
This milestone song features an upbeat rhythm with a restrained vocal line.
The range is narrow and there are few long notes, making it easy for anyone to sing.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
People and people and people and peopleCreepHyp
CreepHyp is a rock band that has been active since the 2000s.
As a Rockin’ On-style band, they continue to churn out hit numbers even today.
Their song “Hito to Hito to Hito to Hito” is their latest track.
While CreepHyp’s music is often associated with high vocal parts, the range in this piece is surprisingly modest.
There are few long sustained notes and plenty of breathing points, making it easy for anyone to sing.
That said, some people may still find the original key difficult, so in that case, lower it to a comfortable key.
AzaleaKenshi Yonezu
Kenshi Yonezu, the popular singer-songwriter who keeps churning out hit numbers.
Recently, he’s been releasing slightly more catchy tracks, right? His new song is Azalea.
The piece maintains a downbeat mood throughout, so the vocal range is generally modest.
There’s a falsetto part in the final chorus—if you just watch out for that, it’s a song you can expect to score high with at karaoke.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
blueSPYAIR
SPYAIR is a rock band that has been active since the 2000s.
Centered on nu-metal/mixture rock, their melodies carry a Western pop-rock essence even while the lyrics are in Japanese.
Their new song Aoi (Blue) was released as the theme for the anime Ao no Miburo, and it maintains a crisp, tight rock feel throughout.
While “rock taste” might sound intimidating, the piece doesn’t require a wide vocal range and contains no high parts that demand falsetto.
However, in the original key there are sections that some singers may only be able to produce with mixed voice.
In that case, consider lowering the key.
