Ballad songs that are easy to sing at karaoke: Recommended classics and popular tracks (21–30)
Voice of the Seaurashima tarou
Released digitally in July 2015 under the name Urashima Taro by Kenta Kiritani, this single was created for the au Santaro series commercials.
The arrangement, which makes effective use of the Okinawan instrument sanshin, is also striking.
Since it was made as a CM song for the Santaro series—where the protagonists of fairy tales gather—it’s been crafted to be very simple and easy for anyone to hum, and most men should be able to sing it without strain.
As shown in the commercials, if you imagine a tropical summer seaside while singing, you’ll likely deliver it even better! When you sing, picturing concrete scenes from the song is one of the major factors that enhances your expressive power.
You…Nishino Kana
It’s an insert song from the drama “Freeter, Ie wo Kau.” and a heartwarming ballad.
With lyrics themed around the love that supports someone important and a clear vocal tone, it became the artist’s best-selling single and was certified million for full-track downloads, making it a signature song.
Because it involves frequent shifts between chest voice and falsetto, relax your shoulders and stay loose when singing.
The tempo is gentle, so aim for a calm, composed delivery.
There’s a key change before the last chorus that raises the range, so be careful not to force your voice or belt recklessly.
Try to sing with a slender, focused tone, as if resonating from the crown of your head.
sparrowRADWIMPS feat. Tomae
For karaoke beginners, adding dynamics to your singing can be challenging.
In that case, why not try a relatively gentle ballad? The song I’d like to recommend is “Suzume.” It’s a track performed by the rock band RADWIMPS and singer-songwriter Takaaki.
The vocals are handled by Takaaki, giving the piece a somewhat sacred atmosphere.
If you want to make the most of a high register or showcase a soft, tender voice, give this song a try.

Compared to many of MISIA’s earlier songs, it tones down the frequent whistle notes and extreme high pitches, making it easier to sing at karaoke and a staple for many women.

It was released in 1998 as Kiroro’s major-label debut single.
In its ninth week on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, it reached number one despite being a debut single, and it went on to become a long-running hit and a million seller.
Its gentle melody makes it easy to sing at karaoke.
