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!

Kis-My-Ft2 is a seven-member idol group that achieved the remarkable feat of surpassing two million concert attendees within five years of their debut—the fastest pace ever for a Johnny’s group.

Their debut single, “Everybody Go,” which was used as the theme song for the TV drama “You’re Beautiful” starring the members, was released outside Japan as well.

With a relatively flat melody and a modest vocal range, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

The song’s driving ensemble feel also makes it a breezy pop tune that’s easy to fire up the crowd with sheer momentum.

Shuji to Akira was a limited-time duo formed by Kazuya Kamenashi, who played Shuji Kiritani, and Tomohisa Yamashita, who played Akira Kusano, in the TV drama “Nobuta wo Produce.” Their theme song for the drama, “Seishun Amigo,” features a memorable, wistful ensemble created in collaboration with a Swedish songwriting team.

Overall, the key is low and the vocal range isn’t wide, making it easy to sing, but the melody has quite a lot of movement, so be sure to learn it well before performing.

It’s a cool pop tune with a hard-boiled aesthetic that we’d love to see you hype up in karaoke together with the dance.
