Ballad songs that are easy to sing at karaoke: recommended masterpieces and popular tracks (71–80)
Because I fell in loveaimyon
This is a single released by Aimyon in February 2019, and it’s also included on her second album, “Momentary Sixth Sense.” It begins with a gentle arpeggio on acoustic guitar and murmured vocals, and that quietness continues all the way to the end.
There are no sections where she belts out high notes; the song is consistently delivered in a soft, whisper-like voice, so in the sense of being easy to hum along to, it’s a song anyone can casually sing at karaoke.
However, to fully convey the song’s world with its subdued arrangement and vocals, you’ll need a corresponding level of expressiveness and an understanding of the lyrics.
If possible, at least memorize the lyrics before you sing.
CAN YOU CELEBRATE?Amuro Namie
Released in 1997 as Namie Amuro’s ninth single.
It served as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Virgin Road” and as the image song for the Hitachi Maxell “Platinum & Gold MD” commercial in which she appeared, making it a double tie-in.
It became Namie Amuro’s biggest hit, garnered overwhelming support in karaoke, and is a classic that enjoys immense popularity as a wedding staple.
A Little SongJUJU
JUJU’s “Chiisana Uta” isn’t the kind of song where you belt; it’s a gentle, soothing piece that you can sing without straining your throat.
The A and B sections are in a relatively low range and are sung softly, almost like speaking.
The chorus goes a bit higher, but it’s basically sung in falsetto.
Since JUJU isn’t the type to belt in the first place, many of her songs are probably comfortable to sing.
It might be good to add a variety of songs to your repertoire.
Try singing with that airy, effortless feel that’s characteristic of JUJU.

Never endsUru
Uru has an image of using a lot of breath in her singing.
“Never ends” is a relaxed song where her falsetto resonates beautifully.
The song has a generally wistful feel, so there’s no need to belt.
Since you can sing it without forcing and with a relaxed approach, I think it’s easy for women to sing! However, the falsetto in the chorus is delivered a bit strongly, so I’m worried that a normal falsetto might become thin and fade out.
Try to keep in mind: “It’s falsetto, but sing it with a bit of strength.” Your core is important, so brace yourself and send the voice straight out from your head!
I’ll be by your side.Maeda Nobuteru
Released in 1993 as Wataru Maeda’s fifth single in total.
The song was used as the ending theme for TBS’s “Information Space J,” and its lyrics—reexamining a stagnant romance and reaffirming feelings for a loved one—resonate deeply in this outstanding ballad.
It’s also a song that’s very comfortable to sing.
I can’t say it.Gō Hiromi
Released in 1994 as Hiromi Go’s 66th single.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Omiai no Tatsujin” and as the ending theme for the Fuji TV program “Kamioka Ryūtarō ni wa Damasarenai zo!” The song won the Excellent Wired Music Award at the 27th Japan Cable Awards.
It is one of Hiromi Go’s signature ballads and remains very popular.
tobacco / cigarette(s)Koresawa
It’s a painfully honest story song that realistically portrays heartbreak.
Over more than six minutes, post-breakup emotions are carefully traced alongside the gentle tones of an acoustic guitar.
A pack of cigarettes left behind by an ex becomes the trigger for recalling the time they spent together, and looking back, only regret remains—such a bittersweet inner landscape is woven through Koresawa’s delicate vocals.
Released in March 2017, just before her major-label debut, this piece can be considered a culmination of her work.
It’s also included on the album “Korekara,” where it continues to be loved.
The melodious, straightforward lyrics are sure to resonate deeply with anyone who has experienced heartbreak.
On nights when you want to face your own feelings, try singing it at karaoke.
