[2026] Songs You’ll Want to Sing at Karaoke! A Roundup of Easy-to-Sing Johnny’s Tracks

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Johnny & Associates has wielded immense influence over Japan’s entertainment industry across the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras, continually producing nationally beloved idols.

Now renamed “SMILE-UP., Inc.” and having established a new agency company, “STARTO ENTERTAINMENT,” the former Johnny’s office remains in transition.

In this feature, we focus on “easy-to-sing” songs from the former Johnny’s group catalog, researching picks across eras—from Showa to today’s Reiwa—without limiting the timeframe.

While some songs may have higher keys for men that, conversely, make them easier for women to sing, we’ll deliver a review that highlights the key points of singability from multiple perspectives!

[2026] Songs You’ll Want to Sing at Karaoke! A Collection of Easy-to-Sing Johnny’s Songs (51–60)

LOVE YOU ONLYTOKIO

TOKIO LOVE YOU ONLY

LOVE YOU ONLYTOKIO

TOKIO’s debut single is a song about hot, passionate love, opening with a supremely confident proposal.

Its hallmark is a straightforward message that leaves a strong impression on listeners.

Released in September 1994, it was used as the opening theme for the Fuji TV anime “Tsuyoshi Shikkari Shinasai.” The anime itself enjoyed high popularity, recording an average viewership rating of 18.2%.

This work holds significant meaning in TOKIO’s musical career and even led to their first appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s a perfect choice for karaoke to express fiery feelings of love.

The range isn’t too demanding and it’s easy to sing, but if you want to recreate the original, it’s fun to split Nagase’s and Yamaguchi’s parts and sing it as a duo!

Hey, I’ll do my best.KinKi Kids

KinKi Kids “Hey, I’ll do my best.” Music Video

Hey, I’ll do my best.KinKi Kids

This is the piece that also became a hot topic as a song provided by DREAMS COME TRUE.

Released as a single in 2004, it’s a positive, strong-hearted mid-tempo number.

The forward-looking lyrics—“Let’s take each other’s hands and grow together, let’s move toward the future”—give you courage.

It’s like someone standing beside you, giving you a reassuring pat on the back.

The tempo and melodic rhythm aren’t fast, so just sing it calmly and you’ll be fine.

Let’s fill the karaoke room with a warm atmosphere.

TsubasaWEST.

Johnny's WEST – Tsubasa [YouTube Original Recording]

TsubasaWEST.

This song leaves a striking impression with its warm atmosphere full of brightness and kindness, and the J-pop-style track crafted by SUPER BEAVER’s Ryota Yanagisawa has warmed the hearts of many fans.

Gently singing about the beauty of cherishing not just one, but multiple important things in life, as well as the awareness of discovering a new self through everyday encounters and experiences, this piece delivers deep emotion together with WEST.’s sincere vocals.

It was included on the album “Mixed Juice,” released in March 2022, and was performed during their summer live tour at the Makomanai Sekisui Heim Ice Arena in Hokkaido.

While many songs sung by the members of WEST.—all of whom have strong vocal abilities—can be challenging to sing at karaoke, this one is relatively easy thanks to its narrower vocal range and straightforward melodic line.

Come On A My HouseHey! Say! JUMP

Hey! Say! JUMP – Come On A My House [Official Music Video]

Come On A My HouseHey! Say! JUMP

A standout track with a bright, poppy melody and warm lyrics.

It playfully expresses a straightforward desire to invite a woman he likes over to his place.

Its charm lies in wordplay that puns on “karei” (splendid) and “karee” (curry), along with a danceable rhythm that gets crowds excited at live shows.

Released as a single by Hey! Say! JUMP in June 2013, it was used in a commercial for House Foods’ Vermont Curry.

The group performed it as the opening act for the White Team at the 2017 NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, drawing attention with a dazzling stage.

It’s perfect for when you need a boost of energy or want to liven up a party.

The karaoke range is comfortable for both men and women, the choreography is easy to mimic, and it’s a song everyone can enjoy together.

celerySMAP

SMAP Celery [Official Music Video]

celerySMAP

Celery is a song that SMAP covered in their own unique arrangement of Masayoshi Yamazaki’s track of the same name.

Rather than simply singing the original, the key point is how they skillfully incorporate SMAP-style rap parts! Thanks to its flowing rhythm and easy-to-remember melody, even first-time listeners will likely be able to sing along right away.

It’s a SMAP classic that we encourage even those who aren’t confident in singing to try! Be sure to sing this song at karaoke and enjoy SMAP’s performance.
