Easy-to-sing GLAY songs. Songs that feel great to sing at karaoke (1–10)
Together forever…GLAY
The fifth single, “Zutto Futari de…,” was released as a double A-side with “GONE WITH THE WIND.” The song was used as the ending theme for the variety show “Channel 99,” and is also known for having been written by TAKURO for TERU’s older sister, who was planning to get married at the time.
As a ballad, it has a relaxed tempo and is sung overall in a relatively low key, making it easy to sing at karaoke.
However, high notes appear toward the end, so be mindful of pacing and key settings when you perform it.
INNOCENCEGLAY
The song INNOCENCE, included as the B-side to the 3rd single “Her ‘Modern…’,” features a relaxed tempo and gentle melody that, in contrast to the title track, showcases the breadth of GLAY’s musicality.
Since the key is relatively low for a GLAY song and the vocal range isn’t very wide, it should be approachable to try.
However, because some high notes appear in the chorus, if the key doesn’t suit you, please adjust your device’s settings and give it a sing.
Winter, againGLAY
“Winter, again,” GLAY’s 16th single, was used as the campaign song for JR East’s “JR SKISKI.” It became a million-selling hit that won both the Japan Record Award and the Japan Cable Radio Award, and is known as GLAY’s biggest hit.
Overall, the key is high, and the melody climbs even higher in the latter half of the chorus, so it’s not an easy song; however, since it’s a ballad with a relaxed tempo, it should be easier to sing if you set it to a key that suits your voice.
It’s a lyrical number that makes you want to sing while picturing the grand landscapes painted in the lyrics.

Freeze My LoveGLAY
The 4th single “Freeze My Love,” which was chosen as the opening theme for the sports variety show “Ring no Tamashii.” It was a track hurriedly recorded during production of their major-label debut album “SPEED POP,” and three years after its release, in 1998, it was also selected as the opening theme for the TV drama “Ryodatsui—Abunai Onna.” Although the song has a fast tempo and the distinctive chorus melody sounds challenging, it’s actually easy to sing thanks to its low key and relatively narrow vocal range.
With its dramatic intro that’s sure to hype up any karaoke room, it’s a cool rock tune you can’t go wrong with.
The strength to keep livingGLAY
That powerful singing voice snaps you awake! “Ikiteku Tsuyosa” was released in 1995 as their seventh single.
It was used as the theme song for the variety show ‘Kazaa-na Downtown.’ The lyrics, sound, and vocal work all convey a strong determination to keep moving forward, and it makes you feel like, “I’m going to do my best too.” In terms of vocal range, it’s especially easy for women to sing.
It’s totally fine to use it for stress relief—don’t sweat the melody too much and just power through with sheer energy.
Somewhere, not hereGLAY
The 17th single “Kokode wa Nai, Dokoka e,” used as the theme song for the TV drama Perfect Love!, was GLAY’s last 8 cm single and became a million-selling smash hit.
With a narrow vocal range and simple melodic movement—especially a low-key chorus—it’s easy to sing without getting tense.
Even those not confident in their singing can perform it calmly, and for listeners of the right generation, it’s sure to get everyone excited.
A refreshing pop tune, without a doubt.
HAPPY SWINGGLAY
If you’re a fan club member, this title is probably one you feel attached to.
The song “HAPPY SWING,” which is also the name of the fan club, is included on their first album, “SPEED POP,” released in 1995.
It’s a catchy number that colors a refreshing band sound with piano tones.
The fantastical lyrics fit the mood of the track perfectly.
To bring out the song’s atmosphere, be sure to sing it brightly and energetically!
