Ballad songs that are easy to sing at karaoke. Recommended masterpieces and popular songs (101–110)
SAYONARAORANGE RANGE
This song weaves a heartrending melody of acoustic guitar and strings, expressing lingering feelings for a former lover.
While fusing rock and hip-hop—the hallmark of ORANGE RANGE—it’s crafted with a ballad sensibility, resulting in a gem that runs over six minutes.
Released in October 2006, it was also included on the album “ORANGE RANGE.” Chosen as the theme song for the drama “Teppan Shoujo Akane!!,” it offers a heartwarming message of newfound hope after a breakup and gratitude for the time shared together.
It’s a perfect track for relaxed karaoke sessions with fans or for reflecting on memories with someone special.
Last VirginRADWIMPS
“Last Virgin” is also popular as a wedding song.
It’s a love ballad that sings of pure, straightforward love.
In the title, “last” means the final one, and “virgin” means the first.
In the song, it portrays a loved one as an irreplaceable, one-and-only presence.
It’s such a lovely turn of phrase that it seems perfect for creating a romantic mood.
The overall key is low, so even those who find high notes difficult should give it a try.
Don’t give upZARD
The 5th single “Makenaide,” which was used as the theme song for the TV drama ‘Reiko Shiratori de Gozaimasu!,’ is known as one of ZARD’s signature songs and continues to be used in various settings even in recent years, including on ‘24-Hour Television.’ While the leaps in pitch and the complex melody in the chorus can be challenging, the overall vocal range isn’t very wide, making it relatively easy to sing even for those who aren’t very confident singers.
With its positive message that transcends time and lifts the spirit, it’s a hit tune that remains a landmark in J-pop history.
cosmos (flower)sadamasashi
Kosumosu (Autumn Cherry Blossoms) is a masterpiece that Masashi Sada wrote especially for the legendary idol Momoe Yamaguchi.
Its lyrics, which portray a daughter’s feelings for her mother on the eve of marriage, and its wistful melody deeply resonate—a true classic from the Showa era.
Because it was a song provided to a female singer, the key in Masashi Sada’s self-cover is also quite high.
However, thanks to its richly nuanced melody and sound, lowering the key does not break the song’s world or atmosphere.
Rather than treating it as a high-note challenge, why not begin by practicing to convey the song’s mood with a warm, expressive vocal tone?
Wedding SongSaitō Kazuyoshi
This is a heart-wrenching love song that became a hit after being featured as the theme for the wedding magazine Zexy’s TV commercial.
Released in 2007, “Wedding Song” is also known as a staple BGM choice for wedding ceremonies.
Saito sings it with great care, as if delivering it straight to the listener’s heart, and his vocals are truly moving.
The highest note is just slightly on the high side, but since the song is mainly composed in a lower range, it should be approachable even for those who aren’t confident with high notes.
