TodayThe Smashing Pumpkins
The Smashing Pumpkins, a band that epitomized the alternative rock scene of the 1990s.
Released in 1993 as the second single from the album Siamese Dream, this song is notable for its structure: it begins with a quiet guitar arpeggio and explodes into roaring guitars in the chorus.
The vocal range sits mainly in the mid register, making it comfortable to sing.
Although frontman Billy Corgan is said to have written it while in a depressive state, the catchy melody line is easy to hum and makes it a karaoke-friendly number.
Boosted by a music video that was frequently played on MTV at the time, it became an important work that rapidly raised the band’s profile.
We Are The ChampionsQueen
Included on the 6th album “News of the World” and a massive hit as a single in both the UK and the US, “We Are the Champions” is one of Queen’s signature songs, widely known across generations in Japan as well due to its frequent use in various settings.
Its chorus has a relaxed melody and the vocal range isn’t too wide, making it easy to sing, but the verses feature complex melodies, including rapid-fire phrasing, which requires attention.
The guitar solo that comes in as a call-and-response during the final chorus amps up the excitement—an undeniable hit tune that’s sure to bring the house down at karaoke.
YesterdayThe Beatles
The song “Yesterday,” included on the fifth album Help!, features a simple yet sophisticated ensemble of acoustic guitar and strings that blends with its beautifully melancholic melody, making it irresistibly captivating.
The vocal range is narrow and sung softly, and at around two minutes long, it’s short—so even those who aren’t confident singers will find it approachable.
However, be careful: if you don’t sing the flowing melody smoothly, it can spoil the atmosphere.
Yesterday Once MoreCarpenters
The song “Yesterday Once More” is extremely popular in Japan as well.
For many people, the Carpenters are synonymous with this track.
The key feature of this piece is, without a doubt, the chorus.
While it’s not insanely high, some people may find it a bit difficult to sing.
In many cases, those who struggle to hit the notes in the chorus tend to tilt their heads upward as they sing.
If you can’t reach higher notes and you look up, it actually makes it harder to produce sound.
Try to be mindful not to force your voice, and attempt to sing while keeping your head slightly tilted downward.
I Want It That WayBackstreet Boys
Released in April 1999, this is the ultimate love song from the American vocal group Backstreet Boys.
The lyrics, which portray the delicate distance between lovers, at times express the frustration of words failing to capture the depth of emotion.
The beauty woven by its melody and harmonies remains undimmed even after more than 20 years, continuing to captivate people around the world.
The chorus’s question, “Tell me why,” symbolizes the unanswerable doubts within a relationship.
Though relatively simple in its lyrical structure, the heartfelt delivery makes it a song that, when sung with friends at karaoke, is sure to revive fresh memories of youth.
We Will Rock YouQueen
Included on their sixth album, News of the World, “We Will Rock You” is known as one of Queen’s signature songs.
Created so the audience could take part, its ensemble of just handclaps and foot stomps is simple yet tremendously impactful.
With its narrow vocal range and minimal dynamics, it’s perfect as an entry point to Western pop music.
It’s a massive hit that, when sung at karaoke, is sure to get everyone joining in for a rousing sing-along.

To Be With YouMr. BIG
A four-piece American hard rock band, Mr.
Big—hugely popular in Japan as well—released this ballad as a single from their 1991 album “Lean into It.” It was their biggest hit, topping the U.S.
Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks and reaching number one in more than 15 countries worldwide.
Characterized by simple acoustic guitar strumming and beautiful vocal harmonies, it has an easy, handclap-friendly groove that makes your body move naturally.
The lyrics express a desire to be there for a love that isn’t going well, making it a song often played at weddings and in nostalgic moments.
Known as a group of virtuosos, they deliberately dialed back their technical showmanship here to put the emotion of the song front and center—another key highlight.
It’s a perfect karaoke pick to sing with friends, sure to bring back the heat of your youth.
