Songs that make you sound good at karaoke (71–80)
GG STAND UP!! feat. Takahiro MatsumotoKinashi Noritake
The first song that Noritake Kinashi from the popular comedy duo Tunnels released as a solo artist is “GG STAND UP!! feat.
Takahiro Matsumoto.” It features B’z guitarist Takahiro Matsumoto as a guest.
Despite its strikingly funky sound that might seem hard to sing, the song actually has very few high notes.
There aren’t many words either, so you don’t have to worry too much about breathing.
If you want to get better at singing, why not practice with this track?
To my belovedMoriyama Naotaro
For those with a higher voice, I recommend “Itoshi Kimie.” It’s a famous song by Naotaro Moriyama.
Speaking of Moriyama, he’s an artist known for his beautiful falsetto and powerful vocals.
“Itoshi Kimie” lets you fully enjoy both of these strengths.
There are several high notes, but since they’re not shouty sections, it should be relatively easy to sing if you have a high voice.
It’s also great for people who are good at singing in a whispery style.
Definitely give it a try!
kissORIGINAL LOVE
ORIGINAL LOVE is a musical group that was a huge hit in the ’90s.
Their song “Kiss” is their biggest hit.
While the word “kiss” itself feels quite sensual, the melody is crafted to be incredibly fresh and breezy, giving the song a vibe that contrasts with the title’s image.
It’s sexy yet refreshing—such a wonderful combination.
The melody isn’t particularly difficult, so it’s very easy to sing! It’s also been covered by many artists, so if you’re interested, definitely check it out!
romanceTamaki Kōji
Koji Tamaki, the vocalist of Anzen Chitai.
He’s also an artist who has been highly active as a solo performer.
His greatest appeal, above all, lies in his distinctive, resonant voice.
This song, “Roman,” is a work where his individuality truly explodes.
While it maintains a calm melody throughout, there are standout moments placed at key points.
It’s the kind of song that still sounds good even when sung loosely, so definitely give it a try! There aren’t many high notes either, making it very easy to sing.
Kokoro KaleidoscopeYamauchi Keisuke
This is the 24th single by Keisuke Yamauchi—often called the prince of the enka world—released in March 2023.
Yamauchi is an incredibly appealing singer with a resonant, clear, and powerful voice and dynamic delivery.
Although it’s enka, I personally liked the slightly rock-tinged arrangement as well (lol).
At first listen, the vocal melody itself might not seem that hard to sing, but trying to recreate this performance in karaoke—using enka-style expression such as vibrato on long tones while keeping it from sounding rustic—is likely quite challenging.
Try singing it with special attention to your sense of rhythm.
