back number – From the Hands We Held (full)

A poignant ballad that reflects on past romance and gradually realizes the value of a lost love.

It delicately portrays the warmth of happier days slowly cooling, as well as the magnitude of the other person’s presence that only becomes clear after the breakup.

Included on the 4th album “Love Story” released in March 2014, it was also used as the commercial song for JTB’s travel product “JTB Premium.” With a gentle, heart-touching melody and a relatable narrative, this song is relatively easy to sing at karaoke and is one you’ll want to try—especially if you’ve experienced heartbreak or parting.

wacci 'Koi Daro' Music Video

This is Wacci’s 21st digital-only single, released in April 2022.

It was reportedly written specifically as an insert song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama series “Yan Gotonaki Ichizoku” (A Not-So-Noble Family).

It’s a slow-to-mid-tempo track with a charm that makes you feel gently comforted just by listening.

The vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range, so it feels like something you can sing casually, even hum along to—making it a good, easy choice for karaoke.

When you sing it, be careful not to put too much force into your voice and lose the song’s positive sense of relaxed ease that the original has.

A Naked Heartaimyon

Aimyon – Naked Heart [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

This song is striking for its honest emotional shifts.

Released in June 2020 as Aimyon’s 10th single, it was created as the theme song for the TBS drama “My Housekeeper Nagisa-san.” Its gentle melody, centered on piano and melodica, closely accompanies the protagonist’s feelings as they face their own heart.

The track portrays a down-to-earth struggle with self-esteem through love, and its unadorned lyrics have resonated with many listeners.

While expressing anxiety and inner conflict in romance, it also carries a resolve to move forward, making it a perfect pick for stress-relieving karaoke time.

Friends’ SongZūkaraderu

Zookaraderu “Tomodachi no Uta” (Official Music Video)

Zutto Mayonaka de Ii no ni.? No, the band Zukkadareru—highly regarded among hardcore Japanese rock enthusiasts.

Rather than chasing sales with trend-driven tracks, they stick to the music they truly want to make, which has earned them enduring popularity among rock fans.

Among their songs, one that’s especially celebrated as a masterpiece is Tomodachi no Uta (A Friend’s Song).

While the piece is captivating for its emotionally rich vocals, the surprising thing is that the vocal line itself has a narrow range and rarely jumps abruptly in pitch.

It also works perfectly well with a bold, forceful singing style that’s the complete opposite of delicacy, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Shaved Ice Unrequited LoveNogizaka 46

Nogizaka46 Unrequited Love of Shaved Ice [High Quality Sound]

This song has a title that makes you go “Huh?” at first glance.

It’s included on Type-C of Nogizaka46’s second album, Sorezore no Isu, released in 2016.

The lyrics compare the fragility of unrequited love to things like shaved ice melting, portraying the aching heart of a love that likely won’t come true, a love that isn’t simple.

The vocal range is very narrow, so as long as you choose the right key, people with any voice type can sing it comfortably.

The lyrics can also be sung at a relaxed pace, so among Nogizaka’s songs, it’s on the easier side for karaoke.

Love Rainbowarashi

Lφve Rainbow (Cover ver.)

Let’s try singing Arashi’s song “Love Rainbow,” which was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku,” starring Jun Matsumoto! The tempo is a bit fast, but the melody is easy to remember and the lyrics aren’t too dense, so I think it’s easy to sing.

If it’s tough to sing the call-and-response parts alone, it’s perfectly fine to deliberately sing just one side.

There’s a high note part in the chorus, so men should practice hitting it cleanly in falsetto.
