Karaoke songs recommended for college students that are easy to sing even for people who are tone-deaf

When it comes to college students, drinking parties and karaoke for the after-party are classics for having fun.

However, many of the songs popular in Japan nowadays are heavily influenced by K-pop and R&B, which makes them difficult to sing.

To help with that, we’ve picked out songs that are easy to sing even for college students who aren’t confident in their singing.

We also explain vocal techniques, so this is recommended for those who struggle with their voice.

In addition to timeless classics, we introduce the latest tracks as well, so be sure to read through to the end and use this as a thorough reference!

Karaoke Songs Recommended for College Students That Are Easy to Sing Even for the Tone-Deaf (11–20)

LazuliMONGOL800×WANIMA

A collaborative work by popular rock bands MONGOL800 and WANIMA, “Lazuli.” Both bands are well-suited to energetic musical styles.

When it was first released, fans often talked about it with high expectations for the synergy between them.

This piece showcases what they do best: a refreshing, vibrant sound.

That said, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, tailored more toward MONGOL800.

The long tones don’t require much vibrato either, so as long as you stay on pitch, the rhythm is easy to catch—making it a very singable track.

Singer-songwriter Aihab, who’s gaining popularity for his stylish rock sound.

He’s also active as a Vocaloid producer and enjoys immense support as a net singer.

I’m sure many university students are fans of his music as well.

His new song is “Aru Otoko” (“A Certain Man”).

It’s primarily built around low to mid-range, with few long sustained notes.

However, there’s one spot right after the chorus where the pitch jumps up sharply, so that part will require practice.

Other than that, it’s easy to sing, so if you like Vocaloid or utaite singers, definitely give it a try.

Saucy Dog is a rock band that enjoys overwhelming support from young people.

While they’re known for their catchy sound, many listeners may feel their songs are difficult because the vocals are quite high.

That’s why I recommend Kusége.

Among their tracks, this one falls into the relatively narrow vocal range category, and the melody line is arranged to be easy to sing, with gentle rises and falls in pitch.

Even so, it’s still a bit high, so be sure to adjust the key to suit your own voice when you sing it.

Ano-chan, an idol who’s also a big hit on variety shows, is currently active as a singer-songwriter as well.

Her track Chu, Diversity, released in 2022, remained high on the charts well into 2023.

While the song is crafted as a distinctive pop piece with a punk vibe, the vocal line is surprisingly simple and set within a relatively narrow range.

If the key fits you well, even those who struggle with pitch can sing it without much difficulty—so give it a try.

EdisonSuiyōbi no Campanella

Wednesday Campanella is a musical unit that earns high praise not only from the general public but also from hardcore music aficionados, thanks to their unique lyrics and high-sense house music.

Their track Edison, released in 2022, became a nationwide hit through platforms like TikTok.

As it’s house music, the track itself remains the star, which naturally lowers the difficulty of the vocals.

There are no particularly high parts, so as long as you can keep your pitch steady, anyone should be able to sing it well.

Masaki Suda, an actor who is also making waves as a singer-songwriter.

His songs always show up in the mainstream, so any college student has probably heard his music.

“Niji” is his new track.

It may sound like a high-pitched song, but in reality it’s just that Suda’s voice is high; the song itself doesn’t have a wide vocal range.

As long as you set the key properly, anyone can sing it easily, so give it a try the next time you go to karaoke.

Karaoke Songs Recommended for College Students That Are Easy to Sing Even for the Tone-Deaf (21–30)

Why not? / Who cares? / It’s all good.WEST.

This is WEST.’s debut song—an energetic, Kansai-style, full-throttle hype track! Even if you’re tone-deaf, you can power through with call-and-response and high energy, making it a perfect practice song for getting the crowd going.

Songs that pull everyone in are essential for people who struggle with pitch.

In “Ee ja nai ka,” there are calls and chorus parts in the A melody, and the chorus has that “everyone together” vibe, so you’ll naturally have fun! As long as you nail the belting part right before the last chorus, you’re good—so focus especially on practicing that section.

If you hit the first note cleanly, you’ll be fine.

Take a breath, lock in the timing, and your voice will come out smoothly!
