Ballad songs that are easy to sing at karaoke: recommended masterpieces and popular tracks (71–80)
Sakura Clear SkiesYuuri
The first graduation song created by Yuuri is “Sakurabare.” It’s a gentle-sounding ballad, and the lyrics depict a boy on the day of his departure expressing gratitude to his parents.
Because of that theme, it’s perfect for graduation ceremonies, farewell parties, or any time you want to convey thanks to someone.
Another notable feature is the brief pause right before the chorus.
The chorus is the most climactic part, so you naturally tend to push and run out of breath.
But with this song, I think you’ll find it easier to sing smoothly.
A Present for the FutureMiho Nakayama & MAYO
It was released in 1996 as a single by Miho Nakayama with MAYO.
The song was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama Delicious Relationship, starring Miho Nakayama herself, and is a collaboration with singer-songwriter Mayo Okamoto.
It reached No.
6 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and Mayo Okamoto also self-covered it under the title “Will… ~A Present for the Future.”
Please understand me.aimyon
“Wakatte Kureyo” is one of Aimyon’s earliest songs, included on her first indie mini-album “tamago,” released in 2015.
The lyrics from a male perspective are striking, and apparently Aimyon actually wrote this song in her mid-teens.
With a subtly Japanese-flavored piano intro, the song has a distinctly Aimyon, 2000s-style medium-tempo ballad vibe, and it’s amazing to think she wrote it as a teenager—her exceptional talent as a singer-songwriter really shines.
Beyond the singable melody line, the overall pitch sits on the lower side, so a man with a higher voice could likely sing it in the original key.
rainbow-coloredayaka
This song was written as the theme for the NHK morning drama Hanako to Anne and released in 2014—many of you probably listened to it every morning.
According to its creator, Ayaka, she aimed to make a song that wouldn’t feel too heavy, something light that everyone could hum along to.
True to that vision, it’s a tune people of any age or gender can enjoy humming, so it’s one I definitely recommend trying at karaoke.
It’s a ballad, but one you can sing brightly and joyfully.
Only for youShonentai
It was released in 1987 as Shonentai’s sixth single.
It topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and drew attention as Shonentai’s first slow ballad.
At the 29th Japan Record Awards, it won the Gold Prize in the Best Artist category.
It remains a popular song as a ballad you can dance to while singing.
