Recommended picks for karaoke! Easy-to-sing songs recommended for Gen Z

In the Reiwa era, J-pop songs have continued to evolve.

Beyond the sound and ensemble, the number of highly skilled vocalists has grown, so there are quite a few songs that sound easy but are actually difficult to sing.

Because of that, some of you may want to sing popular songs but find them too hard to pull off.

So this time, we’ve picked out easy-to-sing tracks released roughly between 2011 and 2024—the years that Gen Z likely spent their youth.

They’re recommended even for those who aren’t confident singers, so be sure to check them out!

Recommended for karaoke song selection! Easy-to-sing songs for Gen Z (21–30)

Gimme GimmickRADWIMPS

The track “Gimi Gimmick,” included on “RADWIMPS 4: Okazu no Gohan,” is a quintessential gem of the late 2000s Japanese rock scene, marked by a strikingly arresting guitar riff in the intro.

Despite being a short song of about two and a half minutes, its overall technically intricate ensemble really stands out.

By Noda’s standards, the vocals aren’t particularly fast, and the range is fairly average and not especially wide, so try singing it while locking into its rhythmic groove.

Aimyon’s new song “Sketch.” Lately, many of Aimyon’s tracks have leaned toward a more dramatic feel and tended to be challenging in terms of vocal lines.

This one is different.

Crafted as a classic J-pop ballad that could be seen as a return to her roots, it features a relaxed tempo and a relatively even vocal line, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

There are virtually no difficult sections, so it’s a song well worth adding to your repertoire.

As one of the songs that went viral in 2024, many people will surely remember “Bunny Girl.” The talent of AKASAKI, who created this track at the young age of a high school student, is truly remarkable, and I’m sure there are people practicing it to add this masterpiece by a young artist to their karaoke repertoire.

The use of 7th chords that pops up throughout is stylish, and while it may sound understated at first, the melody line is actually very catchy and easy to remember, with no extreme high notes—so even those who struggle with high pitches should find it easy to sing.

Try approaching it at karaoke with a slightly cool, playfully suave vibe, and you’ll do great!

ALL I WANTHirate Yurina

ALL I WANTHirate Yurina

Yurina Hirate’s hit song “ALL I WANT.” Among her recent releases, this track has been a particularly big success, so I imagine many people discovered her solo work through this song.

The melody has a slightly Heisei-era feel, and the rap-like vocal parts especially evoke artists like Kana Nishino and Miliyah Kato from the 2010s.

Because there are relatively few rests, the breathing can be a bit tricky, but the range is low and the melodic movement is gentle, making it a song that’s definitely easy to score highly on.

Marcy – Freesia (Official Music Video)

Marcy is a band that’s won popularity with moving lyrics and catchy melodies.

While they’re categorized as a rock band, they lean more toward J-pop, and they’re especially known for uplifting songs and ballads.

Among their tracks, the one I particularly recommend is Freesia.

It’s a positive song with a touch of strength, but the overall vocal range isn’t that wide, so anyone with an above-average range should be able to sing it comfortably in the original key.

jewelhanayoi

Noshi is a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her genreless musicality that incorporates a wide range of music styles.

She always energizes the scene with unconventional tracks, and her new song “Pink Punch” has also drawn attention for its eccentricity.

It features a slightly funky track, while the vocal lines come together with a vibe reminiscent of rock and Chinese pop.

With almost no sustained long notes and no demanding vocal techniques required, it’s a very easy song to sing.

Zutto Mayonaka de Ii no ni.? No, the band Zukkadareru—highly regarded among hardcore Japanese rock enthusiasts.

Rather than chasing sales with trend-driven tracks, they stick to the music they truly want to make, which has earned them enduring popularity among rock fans.

Among their songs, one that’s especially celebrated as a masterpiece is Tomodachi no Uta (A Friend’s Song).

While the piece is captivating for its emotionally rich vocals, the surprising thing is that the vocal line itself has a narrow range and rarely jumps abruptly in pitch.

It also works perfectly well with a bold, forceful singing style that’s the complete opposite of delicacy, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
