Lullaby of a Serrated HeartChekkāzu
The Checkers, with Fumiya Fujii on vocals, were hugely popular as an idol-style band in the 1980s.
I love the intro to this song, and it modulates at the end so the pitch goes up! It’s just too cool.
The same melodic line repeats several times, and the overall range sits comfortably for male voices, so it seems perfect for singing along and having fun.
By the way, did you know the very last phrase after the key change in the final chorus goes even higher? When you sing it at karaoke, focus on that part and nail the pitch—you’ll land it in style! In general, if you keep your energy up while singing, your vocal cords will resonate better and the high notes will come out more easily, so go for it with confidence!
countrysideTamaki Kōji
Koji Tamaki’s classic song “Den-en” (Countryside).
He still appears frequently in the media and often performs this piece.
Among Tamaki’s songs, this one is notably easy to sing.
The key reason is its narrow vocal range: each section stays within a consistent range, so it’s hardly ever difficult.
If you find the low notes hard to sing, raise the key.
Because the range is narrow, transposing it up won’t cause problems.
Sazan Ōrusutāzu
Known as a masterpiece that likens the pain of heartbreak to a tsunami, this work is a moving love song renowned as one of Southern All Stars’ signature tracks.
It’s a gem of a ballad that expresses the sorrow of losing someone precious with a sweeping melody, fully showcasing Keisuke Kuwata’s exceptional songwriting talents.
Released in January 2000, it topped the Oricon weekly chart and also won the Japan Record Award that same year.
It was chosen as the theme song for the popular segment “Mirai Nikki III” on the TV show “Uunnan no Hontoko!,” becoming a classic beloved by a wide range of listeners.
It’s a heartwarming piece that gently accompanies those carrying the pain of losing someone special, and it’s also recommended for karaoke.
Since it’s well-known, the melody line shouldn’t feel too difficult.
It might be a good idea to keep it in your repertoire as a standard.
BambinaHotei Tomoyasu
If you’re a man in your 40s who likes rock, you’ve almost certainly listened to Tomoyasu Hotei’s music.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is Bambina.
It’s a track with a lively, bustling riff that screams rock ’n’ roll, and it keeps the energy up from start to finish.
Despite its upbeat feel, the vocal line sits mainly in the low to mid range, making it very easy to sing.
Definitely give it a try.
GLORIAZIGGY
ZIGGY’s biggest hit number, “GLORIA.” Because it’s a bright song that’s quintessentially ZIGGY, it might seem like there are many parts where you have to belt.
Surprisingly, though, it doesn’t require that much vocal power, and the range isn’t particularly wide.
The chorus has a gently rising melodic line, which makes it easier to keep pitch.
However, due to the upward-tilting phrasing, you’ll need a certain level of stamina—as the pitch gets higher, you may start to feel strain, like a tightening at the temples.
Don’t get carried away by the song’s brightness and set the key too high.
Winter is starting.Makihara Noriyuki
Known as Makki, Noriyuki Makihara is an indispensable figure when talking about the 1990s music scene and a genius singer-songwriter whose name is etched in Japanese music history, having left behind many classic songs.
His naturally pure, unadorned, and expansive voice that reaches straight to the listener’s heart, melodies that aren’t swayed by trends, and lyrics that brilliantly capture vivid scenes and emotional shifts through simple word choices—his talent is universally recognized.
Among his many masterpieces, “Fuyu ga Hajimaru yo,” released in 1991, is relatively easy to sing, with Makihara’s signature high notes kept somewhat modest, making it a great recommendation for those who struggle with high registers.
Keep the shuffle rhythm in mind and be careful not to go off pitch!

Everything becomes my strength!kuzu
One of Kuzu’s signature songs and also a popular anthem.
To score high in karaoke, focus on powerful projection and a solid sense of rhythm, and make sure to let your emotions burst in the chorus.
The pre-chorus has a fast-paced rhythm, so while the lyrics matter, locking into the beat is the top priority.
Put a clear accent on the first beat and sing smoothly to fall into the groove.
Also, since the first sound of the chorus is “ki,” be careful not to pull your mouth too wide horizontally.
Create space inside your mouth and think of lightly humming as you let the sound out—you’ll be able to sing without straining!
