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

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!

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.

If you watched “LOVE LOVE Aishiteru” or “Shin Domoto Kyodai,” this one will feel especially familiar.

Released as a single in 1998, “Zenbu Dakishimete” was originally written by Takuro Yoshida, and the version sung by KinKi Kids is actually a cover.

Its warm vibe—marked by a laid-back tempo and the sound of acoustic guitar—paired with gentle vocals is wonderfully soothing.

The song is composed in a very singable range, so men who aren’t confident with high notes should definitely keep this one in mind.

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.

Released in April 1995, this song captures the exhilarating rush of passionate love, like a snapshot from youth.

The energetic sound woven by TOKIO’s twin lead vocals and harmonies, paired with lyrics that convey strong feelings directly, leaves a lasting impression.

It was included on the albums “Bad Boys Bound ~TOKIO II~” and “Best E.P Selection of TOKIO,” and was also beloved as the ending theme for the Fuji TV anime “Kiteretsu Daihyakka.” It reached No.

2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and has become one of TOKIO’s signature songs.

With a Showa-era Group Sounds-style vibe, it’s very easy to sing and a big hit at karaoke—so give it a try!

DAYBREAKotoko

This classic song, released as a single in 1988, blends a passionate rock sound with a powerful message, showcasing Otokogumi’s dual identity as both idols and a rock band to the fullest.

Expressing the resolve to embark on a new beginning with a loved one and the joy of overcoming loneliness to be reunited, the track topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and ranked fourth on the year-end chart.

Demonstrating their talent from their debut, they won Best New Artist at the 30th Japan Record Awards that same year.

The song was also used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Otokodarō!” and the film “Rock Yo, Shizuka ni Nagareyo,” and it appears on the albums “NEW BEST Otokogumi” and “HIT COLLECTION.” While strongly rock-oriented, its passionate, message-driven lyrics are relatable to all genders, and with a generally lower key and not overly demanding vocals, it’s a perfect choice for anyone who wants to sing it with heartfelt emotion.

Come On A My HouseHey! Say! JUMP

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.

OrangeSMAP

A ballad themed around parting and gratitude between lovers, this fan‑favorite SMAP song beautifully paints a poignant story against the backdrop of twilight.

It expresses the many feelings that linger after a breakup through warm vocals and melodies that gently embrace you, like an orange sky dyed by the setting sun.

Released in August 2000 as the B-side to the single “Lion Heart,” it was also included on the album “SMAP 25 YEARS.” Most intriguing is the story that, at Takuya Kimura’s suggestion, the ending of the lyrics was changed, adding new depth to the narrative.

Beginning with a gentle piano line and gradually layering strings, the warm arrangement makes it easy to sing even for those who struggle with high notes in karaoke.

If you’ve experienced parting with someone dear, give it a try.
