Songs that make you sound good at karaoke (71–80)
The Zero Sense10-FEET
This is the 22nd single by the Japanese three-piece rock band 10-FEET, released digitally in November 2022.
It was chosen as the ending theme song for the film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK.
It’s a very straightforward rock song, and in terms of tempo and vocal melody, there don’t seem to be any particularly difficult parts to sing.
Because of that, I think it’s relatively easy for most people to aim for a perfect 100 score at karaoke.
The song makes frequent use of breaks at the transitions between sections, so being able to really feel the rhythm there and handle the vocals cleanly will be the key to shooting for that 100.
Be sure to feel the beat solidly and give it a try.
catDISH//
It was released as a coupling track to DISH//’s 10th single overall, “We Did It.” Later, in April 2020, an acoustic version was released digitally as “Neko – THE FIRST TAKE ver.” It’s a gentle song that conveys a very heartwarming atmosphere.
The vocal melody itself is very simple and easy to remember, and the range used isn’t very wide, so I think it’s very easy for anyone to sing.
Since the song is built on a slightly bouncy beat, be careful not to let the vocal rhythm become flat.
If you sing as if you’re placing the voice against your upper palate inside your mouth, I think you can recreate a voice rich in higher overtones like the original singer’s—please give it a try.
I’m coming to see you now.Uru
The song “Ima Ai ni Iku” included on the 2nd album Orion Blue is a track Uru reportedly completed before her major-label debut.
Its lyrics, which blend poignancy with warmth, really resonate.
There’s a brief falsetto leap in the melody that’s tricky and requires precise pitch, but overall the melody is simple, making it approachable even for those who aren’t very confident singers.
It’s a sentimental ballad that’s sure to draw attention at karaoke.
Sun of Lovekururi
A single by Quruli released in March 2023.
It was pre-released in February and was also chosen as the theme song for the Netflix film “Call Me Chihiro.” It’s a simple, medium-tempo pop-rock song that’s very easy to groove to.
The vocal melody line is also very straightforward and easy to hum, so it should be relatively manageable for anyone to shoot for a perfect 100 at karaoke.
Listen closely to the original, study where to sustain notes, where to cut them off, and how to do so, and give that perfect score a try.
December 17CRAZY KEN BAND
Crazy Ken Band, acclaimed as one of the greatest sound creators in the East.
They’re the band that gained popularity with “Tiger & Dragon.” Their sound blends elements of soul and R&B into enka, resulting in a highly distinctive style.
Their unique sound is also woven into “December 17.” It’s the kind of song that becomes suddenly difficult in a higher key, but it tends to sound good when sung in a lower key, so it’s recommended.
