CandyGushima Naoko
Recently, thanks in part to the revival boom, there’s been an increase in songs that incorporate the musical sensibilities of the 1980s.
Contemporary songs tend to be densely packed with lyrics, making them harder to sing, whereas older music generally avoids that and includes many songs that are easier to sing.
Naoko Gushima’s “Candy” is one such track.
Although it’s a recent release, it’s crafted with a musical style reminiscent of 1980s female idols, and throughout the song there’s little lyrical crowding, resulting in a structure that’s very easy to sing.
Ring the bell!DREAMS COME TRUE
This is DREAMS COME TRUE’s (hereafter, DCT) 50th single, released on July 10, 2013.
Since it was also used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Emergency Room 24 Hours” (Season 5), many of you may have heard it there.
DCT’s vocalist Miwa Yoshida is widely praised for her vocal ability, so some of you might wonder, “Can someone like me, who isn’t good at singing, really sing this?” However, the vocal melody doesn’t cover a particularly wide range and is relatively even, making it quite approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers.
The tempo is a bit on the heavy side, so be careful not to rush ahead when you sing.
The One and Only Flower in the WorldSMAP
A classic hit by SMAP, the beloved national idol group.
This song offers an uplifting affirmation that each person is special.
Released as a single in March 2003, it topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Boku no Ikiru Michi,” starring Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, earning widespread support across generations.
With a melody that doesn’t require a wide vocal range, it’s easy to sing at karaoke and cherished by people of all ages.
For those leading busy lives, we hope this song helps you reconnect with your true self—sure to lift your spirits.
Togetsukyo ~Thinking of You~Kuraki Mai
Mai Kuraki’s 41st single, released in April 2017.
It’s an impressive song that makes effective use of a Japanese pentatonic scale in the chorus melody, which also helps make it relatively easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.
The vocal range used isn’t very wide, so if the key feels too high or low, you should be able to handle it by lowering the key on the karaoke machine.
It’s not a song that requires powerful, full-throated singing, so try to sing gently throughout the whole piece.
CAN YOU CELEBRATE?Amuro Namie
“CAN YOU CELEBRATE?” is Namie Amuro’s ninth single under her solo name, released in February 1997.
It’s the biggest hit among her singles and has also become a classic wedding song.
For women in their 40s as of 2020, many likely experienced Amuro’s peak years in real time.
The songwriter, Tetsuya Komuro, probably crafted the piece with strong awareness of making it a karaoke-friendly hit; it’s a song that’s very easy to remember and sing.
That very ‘singability’ is likely one reason it became a staple at weddings.
Lucky Man’s SongYashiro Aki
Aki Yashiro has left behind many classic songs, but among them, an unusually distinctive masterpiece that continues to be talked about is The Lucky Man Song.
This piece was released as the theme song for the popular anime Tottemo! Luckyman.
It’s fundamentally structured as a pop song, so it doesn’t have the difficulty of enka.
However, in the middle of the track there’s a section that pays homage to part of the famous song Funauta, which does require techniques like kobushi (ornamental vocal turns).
That said, the kobushi and vocal lines aren’t particularly difficult, so if you’re accustomed to singing enka or kayōkyoku, you should be able to handle it without any trouble.
Dancing HeroOginome Yōko
Thanks to the success of the Tōmioaka High School Dance Club, the song “Dancing Hero” has come back into the spotlight.
For those in their forties, it’s likely a nostalgic tune you remember from childhood.
While its upbeat disco sound is striking, the vocal line is actually quite simple.
That’s because the song never ventures into high notes and is sung entirely in the mid to low range.
It can be hard to project your voice at drinking gatherings, but this is a song you can sing comfortably even in those situations.
