[Piano Solo with Vocals] Super Cool! Recommended Songs You Can Play Smoothly (1–10)
horizonback number
Many of back number’s songs make effective use of the piano.
Among them, a great recommendation for solo piano and vocal performance is “Suiheisen,” a digital-only single released in 2021.
It’s in B-flat major with two flats, making it approachable for chord-based playing, and many of the chords can be played with just one flat.
The tempo is a relaxed ballad, so beginners should find it easy to tackle.
If you can play seven types of chords, you’ll be able to clear it—so give it a try and memorize them!
Voice of the Seaurashima tarō (kiritani kenta)
“Umi no Koe” is the song sung by Kenta Kiritani as Urashima Taro in au’s “Santaro Series” commercials.
Released as Kiritani’s single in 2015, it became a million seller.
The sound of the sanshin is memorable, but the piano intro and accompaniment are beautiful as well.
If you know basic chords, you can play it using just seven chords, so give it a try.
If you’re comfortable with sus4 and slash chords, you can make it sound even more authentic—try that too!
A Bouquet for YouUtada Hikaru
Hikaru Utada’s “Hanataba wo Kimi ni” is a great recommendation because it’s easy to grasp the image of a piano-and-vocal performance.
Especially in the first verse, it’s made up of just Utada’s vocals and piano accompaniment, making it perfect for practice.
If you can play chords, you can get through the entire song using a total of seven chords: five basic chords and two applied (extended) chords.
The accompaniment method is the most orthodox style of playing quarter notes, so it’s easy to tackle even while singing.
Definitely give it a try!
The BeatlesLet It Be
When a man is starting to practice singing with self-accompaniment, the first Western song I’d love him to try is the Beatles’ “Let It Be.” It’s a classic with a piano intro that speaks for itself.
The accompaniment is actually simple—you can play it if you learn just four chords, and since it’s in C major, it uses only the white keys, making it easy to remember.
You can’t play the intro and interlude with chords alone, but with a bit of effort and practice, you should be able to master them quickly.
If you enjoy Western music, start your practice with “Let It Be”!
threadNakajima Miyuki
A great recommendation for female singer-songwriters who are beginners at singing with self-accompaniment is Miyuki Nakajima’s “Ito.” Released as a single in 1998, it’s known as a classic that remains beloved by many even after more than 20 years.
If you’re accompanying yourself on piano, a simpler arrangement is easier to play, right? This is a straightforward ballad that can be rendered with the most orthodox quarter-note chord accompaniment, making it a perfect first song to try for singing with piano.
The key is B-flat (two flats), which uses many white keys, so it’s easier to remember which keys to press—another point in its favor!
rainbowSuda Masaki
“Niji” is Masaki Suda’s fifth single, released in 2020.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film “STAND BY ME Doraemon 2” and reached No.
2 on both the Oricon and Billboard charts.
You can play it if you learn about seven basic chords that are easy for beginners to remember, and since it’s a slow-tempo ballad, it’s a good one to try.
The accompaniment uses a standard ballad pattern with quarter notes, so you can apply it to other songs as well.
Definitely start by practicing “Niji”!
Is there still anything that love can do?RADWIMPS
The song “Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?” by RADWIMPS was created as the theme for the animated film Weathering with You.
The film’s soundtrack, which includes this track, topped the Oricon digital chart for five consecutive weeks.
It’s a beautiful piano ballad characteristic of Yojiro Noda, and it’s perfect for singing with self-accompaniment.
Most parts—except for a few sections—use the same chord progression, and it’s just a repetition of four chords, making it very easy to play.
The different sections only add a few chords and change the order slightly, so definitely give it a try!
