[Easy-to-Sing BTS Songs] Japanese Versions Included! (1–10)
Stay GoldNEW!BTS
The theme song for the TV Tokyo drama “Labyrinth of the Spiral ~DNA Forensic Investigation~” was created to match the drama’s worldview and is a warm medium-ballad that resonates with the members’ vocals.
It features lyrical lyrics and a bright melody, carrying the message, “This world isn’t full of only good things, but don’t lose your shine,” and it became a hit, reaching No.
1 on iTunes in 84 countries and regions worldwide.
The melody of the chorus, which includes the song’s title, leaves a particularly strong impression.
Of course, each member has their role, but since this is a drama theme song, it isn’t overly difficult overall and should be easy to learn and sing even for first-time listeners.
In the chorus the melodies overlap, but try singing whichever part you prefer with confidence.
Crystal SnowNEW!BTS
It’s a Japanese original song released on December 6, 2017, characterized by passionate lyrics that compare a precious person to a snowflake—so delicate they might melt at a touch, yet you still want to hold them before they disappear.
The song itself is a ballad, so the tempo is relaxed; even beginners can sing it calmly while keeping an eye on the lyrics.
The chorus has many sustained notes in succession, so singing it grandly should let your voice flow comfortably.
If you worry too much about pitch, you won’t enjoy singing, so first focus on projecting your voice without overthinking it.
Once your voice starts coming out comfortably, then work on matching the pitch.
Go GoNEW!BTS
It’s a popular song from the 2017 album “LOVE YOURSELF 承 ‘Her’,” which satirically portrays young people’s attitudes toward money and the YOLO culture of “enjoying the moment.” In the Japanese version, the distinctive lyrics are very entertaining and have become a hot topic among fans.
It features a bright rhythm and an addictive chorus, and when you sing it, paying attention to the accents makes it even better.
Overall, rather than focusing on showcasing vocals, enjoying it while riding the rhythm suits the song’s vibe better!
Don’t Leave MeNEW!BTS
Written as the theme song for the drama “Signal: Long-Term Unsolved Case Investigation Team” starring Kentaro Sakaguchi, it has surpassed 100 million streams.
It’s a bittersweet love song characterized by a hip-hop style with a melancholic melody and powerful lyrics, featuring beautiful high-register vocals and an easy-to-follow rap that carries a wistful mood.
It might be good to divide the chorus and the other parts between singers.
If you’re performing the whole song solo, be careful not to overuse your throat in the low range.
For the high notes in the chorus, avoid belting too hard; projecting your voice as if singing into the distance will help you produce a pleasant sound.
Film outNEW!BTS
This is a poignant ballad written by back number as the theme song for the film “Signal: The Movie (Long-Term Unsolved Case Investigation Unit),” released in April 2021.
Member JUNG KOOK participated in the production, and it’s known as a masterpiece that resonates with many people through its beautiful melody and lyrical lyrics.
The chorus builds significantly and stays in a high range, but don’t worry about precise pitch—just sing out boldly.
Letting your feelings show is probably just right and will convey the sense of longing.
If the high notes feel tough in chest voice, falsetto is totally fine.
Once you get used to the song, try singing with a bit more power; your falsetto will gradually take on more of a chest-voice quality.
MIC DropNEW!BTS
This is a heavyweight hip-hop track that flaunts global success and confidence.
Included on the Japan 8th single released on December 6, 2017, it features a powerful dance choreographed by the popular choreographer RIEHATA, incorporating a mic-drop gesture.
Of course, there’s a Korean version as well; “MIC Drop” also has a Japanese version, and it’s highly recommended for those who love rap.
Riding the rhythm is essential, so make sure to lock into the beat with your body.
Once you catch the groove, your voice will come out naturally and it should become easier to sing.
Best Of MeNEW!BTS
It’s a bright electronic dance music track for which RM mainly devised the lyrical direction.
RM highly praised Jimin’s high notes, and it’s said to be an important song that broadened BTS’s musical range at the time.
There are many English lyrics as well, but it shouldn’t be difficult if you simply follow along with the words.
Also, since the song itself is a bright, refreshing love song, lifting your facial muscles as you sing will make your vocal tone brighter and help you produce high notes and falsetto more easily.
Try adjusting your vibe to match the song as you sing.
FAKE LOVENEW!BTS
In the emo hip-hop genre, it features a dark atmosphere and powerful dance performance.
The song’s theme is the end of a love in which one has lost oneself, and the pain and inner struggle that come with realizing that the love was a “lie.” There are occasional English lyrics, but it isn’t difficult thanks to the frequent repetition of phrases.
The part in the chorus where the title is sung sits a bit high in range, so if you project with energy, it should come out smoothly.
Aside from that, it doesn’t go into a high register, so as long as you keep the rhythm, you can sing it without trouble.
Try starting by humming it lightly.
FOR YOUNEW!BTS
A heartrending love song themed around a long-distance relationship, it topped the Oricon weekly chart.
Produced by UTA, the music video also features the members transforming into various part-time job roles—another highlight.
The vocal range in “FOR YOU” isn’t very high, but it feels like the lower register is emphasized more than the high notes.
Be careful not to overuse your throat when singing low notes.
Compared to your speaking voice, aim for a slightly more polished tone; lifting your eyebrows helps keep the resonance from dropping too much into the throat, preventing a muffled sound and making it easier to sing.
It’s also recommended to sing as if you’re placing a bundle of breath right in front of you.
Airplane pt.2NEW!BTS
This song incorporates elements of bossa nova, Latin, tango, and Mexican samba, expressing the struggles behind a hectic, globe-trotting life and success, and is characterized by an addictive rhythm driven by syncopation.
Syncopation means that, if you’re counting in four beats where the 1st and 3rd beats tend to be accented, the accents instead fall on the 2nd and 4th beats—reversing the strong and weak beats—or the 4th beat is sustained into the next measure without a break.
If you’re strong with rhythm, you’ll naturally be able to groove to it.
‘Airplane pt.2’ doesn’t have a high vocal range, so it’s highly recommended for those who want to enjoy the rhythm!
