Ballad songs that are easy to sing at karaoke. Recommended masterpieces and popular songs (101–110)
Harmony of DecemberKinKi Kids
Released in 2006 as their 24th single, “Harmony of December” is a winter ballad with the gentle sound of bells ringing.
The two voices are so tender that it makes you want to close your eyes and listen.
The lyrics, which portray the preciousness of time spent with a loved one, are also romantic and captivating.
There’s a falsetto part, but that doesn’t mean the pitch of the phrase is particularly high.
Try singing it while carefully following the melody.
To the futureKiroro
A signature song by Kiroro that sings of deep love and gratitude to one’s mother over a gentle melody.
The clear, pure vocals and warm message woven by the two artists from Okinawa create a moving, jewel-like ballad.
Since its release in June 1998, it has been widely cherished as a song of thanks to parents at junior and senior high school choir competitions and at weddings.
With its relaxed tempo and relatively narrow vocal range, it’s easy to sing even at karaoke.
It’s the perfect song to perform with heartfelt feelings for your beloved family.
Over the SeasonSaitō Kazuyoshi
This song was featured as the CM tune for “Maruchan Akai Kitsune to Midori no Tanuki” in 2021 and was released as a digital single.
It’s a ballad that tenderly yet warmly portrays the changing seasons and the passage of time.
It’s perfect for when you want to sink into a nostalgic mood.
The expansive, richly layered sound arrangement is another highlight.
Since it isn’t a word-heavy piece, don’t rush—sing it while cherishing the meaning of each word.
Love is…Kawamura Ryuuichi
This is Ryuichi Kawamura’s fourth single, released in October 1997.
Musically, it’s a very simple ballad that’s easy to hum and enjoy, but if you’re aiming for a perfect 100 in karaoke, it probably comes down to how well you can reproduce Kawamura’s somewhat distinctive singing style.
Study things like how he applies vibrato and how he connects notes within phrases, then give it a try.
Personally, I have some reservations about turning it into an impersonation of the artist just to chase a score, but since the song features many broad, relaxed phrases, I think it’s relatively easy to recreate in karaoke.
Island SongTHE BOOM
Here is a song released by THE BOOM in 1992.
Although the band was not originally from Okinawa, you could say this song helped make Okinawa more widely known.
This song about Okinawa uses the Okinawan scale in its melody, but because the tune is easy to learn, if you sing it with feeling, it will become a song that resonates with listeners.
The sanshin plays the melody in unison with the vocals.
