Popular songs that are easy to sing at karaoke. Recommended masterpieces and hit songs (21–30)
Grateful, thrilled, and overwhelmed like a stormarashi
It’s a heartwarming Arashi number filled with the desire to support someone and gratitude toward loved ones.
Released as a single in November 2000, it was used as the opening theme for the drama “Namida o Fuite,” starring Kazunari Ninomiya.
It’s often performed toward the end of concerts and is cherished as an important song that connects the fans and the members.
The contrast between the rap part and the melodious chorus is pleasing, making it easy to naturally fall into the rhythm.
With its overall catchy melody, it’s easy to remember and perfect for getting everyone excited together at karaoke.
astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN
A popular song by BUMP OF CHICKEN known for its moving lyrics and grand melody.
Included on the album “jupiter,” it was released as a single in March 2001.
It was also featured as insert music in a Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama, capturing the hearts of many.
By contrasting the innocence of childhood with the complex emotions of adulthood, it tells a universal story of growth and pain.
While confronting unanswerable questions, the song portrays an attitude of overcoming failure and growing, making it a track that gives a push to those standing at a crossroads in life.
When singing it at karaoke, infusing your performance with memories and emotion will make it resonate even more.
I hope it’s sunny.DREAMS COME TRUE
The song “Haretara Ii ne” was created with the scenery of Miwa Yoshida’s hometown, Ikeda Town in Hokkaido, in mind.
Released in 1992, it became one of DREAMS COME TRUE’s popular numbers, chosen as the theme song for an NHK drama and reaching No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart.
As you’d expect from a DCT song, the range is slightly higher at mid1 G to hi G, but since the verses sit mainly in the low-to-mid range, it shouldn’t feel too difficult overall.
The hi C should preferably be sung in chest voice with solid power rather than falsetto, so make this a focal point in your practice.
HarukaYOASOBI
YOASOBI’s famous song “Haruka.” For female students living in the Reiwa era, this piece could be considered a staple graduation song.
True to YOASOBI’s style, it still features drastic pitch shifts, but since there are relatively few syllables set to the main melody, it can be considered easy to sing in terms of wordiness.
However, the vocal range is quite wide—from mid1 G to hi F#—and the highest notes are fairly high, so you need to sing with a clear focus on keeping the pitch accurate.
Hikari TowaORANGE RANGE
This song was released in October 2025 and was created as the theme song for the film “Strawberry Moon: A Love with Six Months to Live.” ORANGE RANGE, who were hugely popular in the Heisei era, are back with a tearjerking Range for the Reiwa era! “Towano Hikari” is an emotional ballad following in the footsteps of “Hana” and “Love Parade.” The overall vocal range isn’t too high, making it easy to sing with feeling, so I highly recommend it.
Also, since ORANGE RANGE has three vocalists with divided parts, splitting the parts among singers is guaranteed to be fun! Speaking of Range’s ballads, I always love RYO’s part that comes in at the very end.
I’d love to hear that section sung with a cool, rich voice! Be careful not to strain your throat—lift your facial muscles and use plenty of breath.
Joyfulikimonogakari
This is the song that became famous as the commercial jingle for Ezaki Glico’s “Pocky Chocolate,” and I think it left a strong impression on anyone who watched those ads back then! It’s a rhythm-focused song, so you don’t have to worry much about pitch—just get into the groove and it’s a lot of fun! It’s perfect for karaoke beginners or when you want to liven up the mood! There may be a part from the middle where the melody feels a bit high if you sing it in chest voice… but don’t worry! For the high notes, just crank up your energy and project your voice as if you’re aiming far away, and the sound will come out.
Engaging your facial muscles and using gestures is important too.
Above all, have fun!
Ballad of a SingerKishidan
It’s a famous song by Kazuyoshi Saito that many artists still cover today.
Personally, I have a faint, romantic memory of falling for it after seeing a senior lead a band and sing it at my high school culture festival.
Its gentle melody and relaxed tempo are truly captivating.
