My subjectsKetsumeishi

A song released on October 31, 2025, it’s a life-affirming anthem dedicated to headstrong adults.

It carries a powerful message that turns failures into funny stories.

Since it’s by Ketsumeishi, there are rap parts too, making it appealing because you don’t have to worry much about pitch when singing.

The tempo is relaxed, so it’s a song you can sing calmly, but it’s important to lock into the rhythm, and you might stumble a bit where there are lots of words.

For a song like this, it’s best to memorize the lyrics! Try singing it every day as if you’re humming to yourself.

Light humming is also recommended.

Bakufu Slump - Runner (High Quality)
Runnerbakufū suranpu

The 12th single by Bakufu Slump, released in October 1988.

Even many years after its release, this song is still used as a cheer song in various sports scenes, starting with high school baseball, so I think it’s probably familiar even to people who aren’t interested in Bakufu Slump.

This track is my top recommendation for people who aren’t good at singing to try at karaoke! You don’t need any vocal skill at all—just ride the rhythm and power through to the end! For the high notes (though there aren’t really any that high), you don’t need to produce a clean, ringing tone; belt it out in a rough, shouted style to hype up the song!

This is T-BOLAN’s second single, released as a single in December 1991, cut from their first album, “T-BOLAN.” A cover by Gackt was later released as well.

It’s a very beautiful ballad; the intro, led mainly by piano and vocals, might be a bit challenging for those who aren’t confident singers to tackle at karaoke.

However, if you can gently deliver that opening, then for the chorus and beyond, just sing with all the heat and passion—like the original—and it should come together quite nicely.

If your voice cracks on the high notes, it can ruin the whole performance, so if you plan to sing this at karaoke, it’s best to figure out a key that suits you beforehand.

Give it a try and showcase a passionate, emotion-filled vocal!

“Koyoi no Tsuki no Yō ni” is the 15th single by the rock band Elephant Kashimashi, led by Hiroji Miyamoto, who exudes a unique aura.

Chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Tsuki no Kagayaku Yoru Dakara” starring Makiko Esumi, it became one of their signature hits, marking their first entry into the Oricon Top 10 for a single.

It’s a masterpiece with Miyamoto’s straightforward vocals that stir the heart.

The lyrics, which express the desire to shine someday like the moon, resonate especially with men in their 40s.

The melody has few dynamic shifts, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.

Don’t worry be happyMONGOL800

This is a party tune from a band that kept racking up hits—not just in Okinawa, but across the indie scene, even setting new records.

The lyrics are easy to grasp, the catchy sound is instantly familiar, and it’s the kind of song you want to sing with everyone, fists in the air.

It would absolutely light up a second round at a drinking party.

This was Shogo Hamada’s 14th single, released on November 21, 1981.

In 1992, it was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Ai to Iu Na no Moto ni,” which led to it being re-released on February 1 of the same year as his 23rd single.

Hamada himself has a very husky and appealing voice, so in that sense, this might be one of the best choices for people who aren’t confident singers—especially those who struggle with high notes—to pick for karaoke.

The vocal melody is very simple and easy to sing, so even if you’re not good at singing, please give this one a try and enjoy it.

Don’t worry about the details; just focus on the vibe, and you’ll likely make it sound really good!

That paper airplane splits the cloudy sky19

People in their 40s might be a bit outside the target generation, but with these lyrics, they’ll surely recall their school days and relate.

As you’d expect from a duo that loves old, classic folk songs, it’s been skillfully arranged in a modern style.

It’s easy to remember and easy to sing!
