Especially those who are thinking, “I’m going to start playing guitar,” might have found our site.
In this article, I’ve put together a list of popular Japanese songs that are easy to play on guitar.
Even songs that feel difficult—like ones with complex arrangements or fast tempos—can sometimes have surprisingly simple finger movements.
It’s a playlist full of classics that are easy yet cool, exhilarating, or warm!
You could say that “simple” also means “refined.”

Messenger from Sunday↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓
A standout track with a breezy guitar riff and an exhilarating melody.
After being included on the album “THE HIGH-LOWS,” released in October 1995, it was also released as a single in February 2004.
It’s known for numerous tie-ins, including serving as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “Downtown no Gottsu Ee Kanji,” a Honda commercial song, and the theme song for the film “Zebraman.” Since the original is built on three chords, it’s a number that even beginner guitarists can faithfully play.
In conclusion
Have you found a song you feel you could play? Focusing on “solo acoustic with vocals” among guitar styles, I introduced some tracks.
Start by picking one song you love and practice until you can play it without looking at the sheet music! Once you can play even one, you’ll start to see how the finger movements and patterns work.
