Ballad songs that are easy to sing at karaoke. Recommended classics and popular tracks (51–60)
milk teaFukuyama Masaharu
Among vocal training students who struggle with high notes, a very common comment is, “Because my voice is low, Masaharu Fukuyama’s songs are easy to sing!” In fact, Fukuyama’s songs often have a wide low range and don’t feature many excessively high notes, so there are plenty of songs you can sing in the original key.
However, one caveat is that if you sing the low notes with your throat as if you’re speaking, even a comfortable range can feel strenuous.
It’s important to vibrate the vocal cords at every pitch, so place your hand in the hollow between your collarbones and try singing while checking that your vocal cords are properly vibrating.
Also, when producing sound, aim your voice as if projecting to a distant point; this helps engage the vocal cords rather than the throat.
Instead of mumbling up close, it’s best to sing as clearly and crisply as possible.
Song of the DawnMiyamoto Hiroji
Hiroji Miyamoto, known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Elephant Kashimashi.
The song he wrote specifically for the TV program “Gaia no Yoake” is “Yoake no Uta” (Song of Dawn).
Although Miyamoto is strongly associated with powerful singing, in this track he delivers a gentle, tender vocal performance.
The lyrics serve as an anthem for working people, making it easy to connect emotionally.
While the chorus reaches into higher notes, the rest sits relatively low, so it’s recommended even for those who find high notes difficult.
JulianPRINCESS PRINCESS
Released in 1990 as Princess Princess’s 10th single.
The song was used in Citizen’s “Lighthouse” commercial and reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Although the lyrics are heart-wrenching, it’s a very singable ballad for women.
THUNDERBIRDT.M.Revolution
Released in 1998 as T.M.Revolution’s ninth single.
It was his first ballad single and was used as the ending theme for the TBS program “Hitachi Sekai Fushigi Hakken!” (Discovery of the World’s Mysteries).
It reached No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Despite being a ballad, it’s a song where the powerful, passionate vocals convey deep emotion.
Give me a gentle kiss.DREAMS COME TRUE
It’s a very emotional love song, and it really feels like you can immerse yourself in its world.
I sing this one often too, and since the notes used are basically from F#3 up an octave, it’s a song you can sing without too much strain.
If other DREAMS COME TRUE songs are too high for you, try “Yasashii Kiss o Shite.” There’s a high D5 that comes in partway through, but give it a solid accent and sing it comfortably! You can take plenty of breath before you start phonating, so imagine taking a big inhale through your mouth and launching into the sound with a running start.
Also, the “n” line can be tricky to pronounce.
Pushing your voice out more than you think you need to is probably just right! If you aim your voice into the distance as you do this, it’ll come out smoothly without catching in your throat.
