[2026] Songs I Want to Sing at Karaoke! A Roundup of Easy-to-Sing Johnny’s Songs (41–50)
monsterarashi
A love song about a bittersweet desire to transform into a monster and whisk a lover away to the world of darkness—this is Arashi’s 30th single, released in May 2010.
Chosen as the theme song for the drama Kaibutsu-kun starring Satoshi Ohno, the track was a massive hit, selling 543,000 copies in its first week.
The song is characterized by a sparkling, quintessential Johnny’s pop melody.
Every member except Kazunari Ninomiya has a solo part, making it especially fun in karaoke to showcase each of the five members’ unique personalities.
From the string-laden intro onward, it brims with charm that instantly grabs the listener’s heart.
Beyond the Night SkySMAP
Despite the years since its release, SMAP’s “Yozora no Mukō” remains a beloved classic that people of all generations can enjoy singing together.
With lyrics by Shikao Suga and music by Yuka Kawamura—an exceptional creative team—it continues to be cherished as one of SMAP’s signature songs without losing its luster.
Its warm melody and pop rhythm are pleasant to the ear, and its approachable nature makes even those who aren’t confident singers find themselves humming along.
It’s likely an easy choice to sing at karaoke without strain.
100% CourageHikaru GENJI
The 21st single by Hikaru GENJI, released in May 1993, is beloved by many as the theme song for the anime Nintama Rantarō.
With lyrics that carry a message of courage for young people and a refreshing melody composed by Koji Makaino, the song leaves a strong impression.
It peaked at No.
7 on the Oricon singles chart and remained on the chart for four weeks.
Because the chorus is built on a canon progression, it’s relatively easy to sing.
Loved by a wide range of generations and often used as a marching song at school sports festivals, it’s a perfect track for livening up a karaoke session.
language of flowersA.B.C-Z
This is a heartwarming ballad by A.B.C-Z themed around the sweet and bittersweet language of flowers.
It conveys a delicate and beautiful message, entrusting feelings for a loved one to flowers.
Released in March 2016 as a bonus track on a DVD, the song was also chosen as the theme song for a program on Iwate Menkoi Television.
With a gentle melody line and a chorus in a comfortable vocal range, it’s easy to try singing at karaoke.
It’s a song you’ll want to sing with feelings for someone special or listen to in the springtime, and it can be recommended to listeners of all ages.
The truthKamenashi Kazuya
It’s a song released in August 2025, and amazingly, it’s their first solo track in about two years! Listening to it, the range centers around low-mid to high-mid, so it might feel a bit high for those not used to higher notes.
That said, the melody is simple with no particularly difficult parts, and the chorus repeats the same phrase, making it very easy to remember.
For singing style: deliver the verse (A section) in a spoken, unforced way without belting; in the pre-chorus (B section), there’s a spot that rises to D4—accenting that part will let the notes come out nicely! In the chorus, there’s a small leap from C4 to A4—hit that confidently as an accent! The range should be relatively comfortable for the average male singer, and with its rock feel, it should be really satisfying to sing.
It’s a passionate theme, so definitely give it a try!
It’s love.V6
A V6 classic that evokes nostalgia while still retaining a timeless charm.
Composed by Koji Tamaki, this song sings about loneliness, the complexities of human relationships, and the importance of love.
Released in January 1997 and included on the album “NATURE RHYTHM,” it has long been beloved as one of V6’s signature tracks.
The connection born from their collaboration on the drama “Coach” led to the creation of this masterpiece.
For karaoke, the 2001 version—where every member has a solo part—is recommended.
Its warm lyrics and approachable melody are likely to resonate with listeners of all ages.
MasqueradeShonentai
Among the many idol groups produced by Johnny & Associates, Shonentai—a three-member idol group that the late Johnny Kitagawa himself once called his greatest masterpiece—stands out.
Their debut single, “Kamen Butokai” (Masquerade), entered the Oricon charts at No.
1 and remains their biggest hit, widely recognized as Shonentai’s signature song to this day.
With its relaxed tempo and modest vocal range, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
However, since there are sections with overlapping vocals, it’s an even more exciting pop tune if you can sing it with friends rather than solo.
