Songs that make you sound good at karaoke (31–40)
Hikari TowaORANGE RANGE
This song was released in October 2025 and was created as the theme song for the film “Strawberry Moon: A Love with Six Months to Live.” ORANGE RANGE, who were hugely popular in the Heisei era, are back with a tearjerking Range for the Reiwa era! “Towano Hikari” is an emotional ballad following in the footsteps of “Hana” and “Love Parade.” The overall vocal range isn’t too high, making it easy to sing with feeling, so I highly recommend it.
Also, since ORANGE RANGE has three vocalists with divided parts, splitting the parts among singers is guaranteed to be fun! Speaking of Range’s ballads, I always love RYO’s part that comes in at the very end.
I’d love to hear that section sung with a cool, rich voice! Be careful not to strain your throat—lift your facial muscles and use plenty of breath.
Magical Syndromeyama
This is a pop, slightly bittersweet, magic-themed song born from a collaboration with “Magical Chiikawa.” If you feel tone-deaf, pitch matters, but the most important thing at first is to get into the rhythm.
I’d love for you to try a light, upbeat track like this.
The vocal range is set in a key that’s comfortable for women, and the chorus is sung mainly in a breathy head voice, so it should be easier to hit the notes.
When singing, resonating around the space between your eyebrows generally helps you stay on pitch.
Humming is key for that.
Take a deep breath using diaphragmatic breathing, then hum with a bouncy feel and you’ll find resonance comes easily.
Humming is a shortcut to your head voice.
If you hum a little every day, it will gradually stick.
Try it little by little!
Roar – HOKOTomonari Sora
It’s an energetic track themed around a “cry of the soul,” released for streaming on October 19, 2025, and used as the ending theme for Season 6 of the TV anime Kingdom, which airs on NHK General.
The overall vocal range of “HOKO” is fairly wide, spanning A2 to D#5.
The verses sit relatively low, so be careful not to strain your throat.
You should feel the pitch jump significantly higher in the chorus.
Try covering one ear and listening to both your own voice and Sora Tomonari’s voice in the original to check what pitches you’re singing.
Splitting it up by melody sections will make it easier to grasp.
That’s enough already.Fuji Kaze
Singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze from Okayama Prefecture is an artist known for his stylish sound and distinctive lyrics and titles.
As you can tell from the title, his song “Mou Eewa” also features highly unique lyrics.
The vocals are generally delivered with a laid-back, ennui-like feel, so I think the difficulty level is low.
There aren’t many root-note parts either, so be sure to check it out! I’m sure you’ll be able to sing it smoothly!
Marigoldaimyon
Aimyon’s classic “Marigold.” While this song became popular nationwide, did you know it actually contains strong elements of folk music? Aimyon has been heavily influenced by 1970s folk, and that background is reflected throughout her work.
With that in mind, the vocal line in this track is crafted to be easy to sing, a hallmark of folk music.
Not only is it easy to sing, but its structure brings out the lower register, making it especially conducive for women to showcase their skill.
