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!

Fujii Kaze’s new song “Masshiro.” When you think of Fujii Kaze, you probably picture tracks rooted in R&B, right? That style can make his music feel a bit challenging to some listeners, but this release is different.

It forgoes elements of Black music like R&B and instead features an airy, dream-pop-like vocal line throughout.

As a result, it’s one of the easiest songs to sing in his catalog.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Even if the dream endsTOMOO

TOMOO is one of the singer-songwriters who represent the J-pop scene of the Reiwa era.

Since the hit release of “Ginger” in 2021, she has continued her remarkable rise, armed with outstanding songwriting skills and a voice you can recognize at first listen.

Many of her songs feature melodies that aren’t straightforward, so there may be plenty of people who want to sing TOMOO’s songs at karaoke but feel they might be difficult.

However, “Yume wa Sametemo” is relatively easy to sing and highly recommended.

It’s an infectious pop song with rhythmic piano tones and a dazzling brass section.

While the chorus does include some falsetto, the overall range is on the narrower side, so even those who aren’t confident with high notes should definitely give it a try.

Don’t cheat on me.Koresawa

Don't cheat on me.Koresawa

Among female listeners, especially those in their 20s, singer-songwriter Koresawa enjoys overwhelming support.

Although she has built a considerable career since her debut, her sweet-and-sour style remains intact, and in “Uwaki Shitara Akan de” (“Don’t You Dare Cheat”), she delivers a cute message that literally warns her boyfriend not to cheat.

The vocal line in this track features very few long tones and stays within a narrow range.

Since Koresawa’s songs often sit in higher registers, this is a must-listen for women seeking an easier Koresawa track to sing.

Brandy War Chronicles – Last Live (Official Music Video)

Brandy Senki is a girls’ band gaining popularity for their sophisticated musicality.

While their foundation is rock, it’s striking how they weave in a variety of genres, starting with Black music.

Their new track, Last Live, is unusually pure and orthodox rock for them, with no additives.

The riff has a cool edge, but the vocal line undulates gently and the range is relatively narrow, making it an easier song to sing than its impactful energy might suggest.

Knock Knockpirafu seijin

Pilaf Seijin is a rapper who draws attention—for better or worse—in the MC battle scene.

While he tends to attract a lot of haters in battles, his recorded music has been quite successful, racking up over a million plays, which is rare in hip-hop.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Knock Knock.” It’s delivered in a style that sits between rapping and singing, and it’s performed within a narrow vocal range throughout all parts.

It’s a big hit with teens and up, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Popular YouTubers, Komudotto.

They may not be as explosively popular as they once were, but they are still widely supported—especially by teenage girls—so many teenage boys are likely familiar with them as well.

Among the songs by AMUGIRI, a member of Komudotto, the one I particularly recommend for men with lower voices is “Colorful.” It has a narrow vocal range, and the vocal lines are gently constructed with little fluctuation.

If you adjust it to the appropriate key, even boys going through voice change should be able to sing it without issue, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Ano-chan, a talent who’s in constant demand on TV.

She also works as an artist under the name “ano” and has produced several big hits, such as “Chu, Tayousei.” Because her voice is very high-pitched, women with lower voices might think her songs are hard to sing—but “Kono Sekai ni Futari Dake” is different.

While it has a bright vibe, the song is written within a narrow range.

If you set the key properly, even women with lower voices should be able to sing it without any problem.

In fact, precisely because the range is narrow, it might be easier to sing in the right key.
