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!

This single, released in July 2000, was used as the image song for the event “Odaiba Dot Com!” and as the CM song for Bourbon’s “Petit Series.” The staging that begins with a spoken line by Kazunari Ninomiya is memorable, and many fans were likely captivated by the poignant monologue at the start.

The song’s structure is interesting, shifting from a gentle ballad feel in the first half to an up-tempo groove toward the end.

The vocal range is comfortably manageable, and the slower tempo in the first half makes it easy to sing calmly.

How about riding the rhythm in the rap part to hype up the crowd?

A song used as the commercial jingle for Eskimo Pino featuring Masaki Aiba and Kazunari Ninomiya.

It’s a pep song with a positive message that gently gives a push to friends who are struggling.

Released as a single in April 2001, it’s cherished by fans as a pop number that represents Arashi’s early days.

Its bright, catchy melody and upbeat rhythm are perfect for livening up the mood.

When everyone sings it together, it creates a sense of unity and makes you feel really happy.

The vocal range isn’t too wide, making it easy to sing, so why not add it to your repertoire? Try singing it when you need an energy boost.

This song really brings out the best in the group! With lots of unison and harmonies, it’s fun both to sing and to listen to.

Idol groups don’t usually have a strong image of using harmonies, but lately everyone’s vocal skills have been improving, so instead of just unison, there are members who handle harmonies too, which makes it more enjoyable to listen to! The harmonies in this song mostly move a third above, so they’re easy to understand and sing.

Since it’s a group song, I think it would be fun to split the parts among your favorite members and sing it that way!

This is a single released in August 2001, known as the theme song for the drama “The Kindaichi Case Files,” starring group member Jun Matsumoto.

It’s an undeniably cool track that fuses rock guitar with rap.

The lyrics convey a strong determination to make decisions with one’s own heart and not be swept along, precisely because the world is so convenient.

This was also their last release under Pony Canyon, making it a song that symbolizes a turning point for the group.

At karaoke, it’s sure to get the crowd going if everyone splits up the rap parts.

The key sits in a comfortable range for male singers, but rhythm is crucial—so listen closely and then give it a try.

Wonderful Worldarashi

A song that continues to be loved as one of Arashi’s hidden gems.

It was included on their 2005 album “One” and is also known as the ending theme for the variety show “Mago Mago Arashi.” The lyrics, which portray the struggle and loneliness of everyday life while still striving toward the future, are deeply moving.

Although it was never released as a single, its beautiful and easy-to-remember melody has made it a popular choice for karaoke.

The vocal range isn’t too wide and it’s comfortable to sing, so why not pick it when you want a gentle, heartfelt moment with friends or when you want to convey the message of the song with care?
