Easy-to-sing GLAY songs. Songs that feel great to sing at karaoke (1–10)
RAINGLAY
This is a mid-tempo number with a soothing, mellow vibe that draws you in.
“RAIN” was their debut single, released in 1994, and it was used as the ending theme for the anime Yamato Takeru.
It also drew attention for having YOSHIKI from X JAPAN involved in the songwriting and composition.
The lyrics, which gently embrace a sense of loneliness, really resonate.
Since the melody is on the slower side, don’t rush—try singing it by carefully following each and every phrase.
TemptationGLAY
The 13th single “Yuuwaku,” used as the commercial song for TDK’s MiniDisc XA Series.
It’s a staple in their live shows, featuring a striking arrangement that moves from a heavy, odd-meter intro into a fast-paced chorus.
While the overall key is high and the tempo quite fast, the range isn’t very wide, so it’s easy to sing if you set it to a key that suits you.
As one of GLAY’s signature songs known across generations, it’s a rock tune that’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
SOUL LOVEGLAY
The 14th single “SOUL LOVE,” used as the campaign song for Kanebo’s “Bronze Love ’98 Summer,” is a popular track that became a million seller—even though it was completed in just 10 minutes at the staff’s request.
The overall key is low and the melody is simple, making it easy to sing, but be careful with the high notes that appear in the latter half of the chorus, as they’re easy to go off pitch.
It has a comfortable beat and feels great to sing, so consider adding it to your karaoke repertoire.
gloriousGLAY
GLAY’s 8th single “Glorious,” used as the commercial image song for “’96 Victoria,” is the track that made the band widely known to a broad audience.
Its catchy lyrical phrases and pop melody are outstanding.
Because it was produced with singable keys in mind, the overall key is low and the tempo of the melody isn’t fast, making it easy to sing.
Among GLAY’s famous songs, it’s especially beginner-friendly—a pop tune perfect for everyone to sing together at karaoke.
Miyako-wasure (Japanese asters)GLAY
The melody spans a wide range, but the highest note itself is relatively low, so it should be easier to tackle.
This song is included on the third album, “BELOVED,” released in 1996.
TERU’s unadorned vocals shine against the warm band sound.
The lyrics, which reflect a hopeful desire to keep walking forward with someone important, are deeply moving.
Because it carries that kind of message, it might be perfect for karaoke with your partner.
loveGLAY
What is romance, what is love…? This is a supreme love ballad that seeks the truth of human connection.
“Koi” is a track included as the B-side of the 33rd single “G4,” released in 2006.
The wistful guitar sound squeezes your heart tight.
The emotions woven into the lyrics also really pierce you.
The highest notes are on the lower side with a relatively narrow range, and the melody is slow, but there are falsetto parts, so be sure to practice switching between chest voice and falsetto.
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.
