Popular easy-to-sing karaoke songs: recommended classics and hit tracks (31–40)
STORYGReeeeN
The song “STORY,” included on the 3rd album Salt and Pepper, features lyrics that remind us everyone has their own life story, easing the loneliness we may feel when our days get hectic.
The key is low and the range isn’t wide, making it easy to sing, but be careful not to fall behind on the fast rap parts and rhythms.
It’s a sentimental number with the sound of acoustic guitar, and you can even have a friend sing the higher parts to make it more fun.
Wine Red Heartanzenchitai
With lyrics by Yosui Inoue and music by Koji Tamaki, this is one of Anzenchitai’s signature songs.
Many people born in the early Heisei era or the Showa era have probably sung it.
Since it’s sung in a generally calm tone and range, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
There are a few spots where the melody rises.
Belting those parts can sound cool, and singing in a composed tone like Tamaki does also gives it a tasteful charm.
From the high point of the chorus to where the melody drops slightly, the pitch can be tricky, so it may help to focus on the lower notes and sing them carefully.
It’s a recommended song when you want to deliver a gentle, heartfelt performance.
DystopiaONE OK ROCK
The 2024 release “Dystopia.” Its vocal range is mid2A to hiD, which is quite high for male singers, but likely just right for female singers.
Since the lowest note is mid2A, there’s ample room to lower the key, so men should adjust the key with a focus on ease of producing the highest notes.
There’s a shouted long note near the end of the chorus, so be careful not to cough or let your voice get too thin at that point.
Let’s take it somedayONE OK ROCK
The piece “Let’s take it someday,” included on the 2011 album Zankyō Reference.
While ONE OK ROCK often leans heavily into emo and hardcore elements, this track stands out for its catchy, quintessential J-rock melody.
Despite its fairly wide vocal range from mid1 D# to hi D#, the pitch movement is surprisingly gentle.
If you carefully adjust the key and decide whether to glide through the high phrases in falsetto or tackle them with mixed voice, it’s not an especially difficult song to sing.
Marigoldaimyon
Aimyon is popular across all generations.
“Marigold” is also a hit that people in their 50s often sing at karaoke.
I have students of various ages, and many of them sing her other songs too! It seems Aimyon really resonates with everyone, regardless of gender or age.
Also, “Marigold” sits in a comfortable range of F#3 to B4, so it’s an easy song to sing with a melody that’s simple for anyone to pick up.
If you think you’re tone-deaf, you might get nervous when holding the mic, but try not to tense up—sway gently side to side and sing lightly.
It helps you relax, and I recommend it! This can be especially good in karaoke settings with younger people around.
If you say, “Everyone, sing along with me,” you’ll feel even more at ease, so just be natural and enjoy singing!

Glass BoyKinKi Kids
Released in 1997, this is KinKi Kids’ debut single and one of their signature songs.
Composed by Tatsuro Yamashita, it features an alluring melody that is both poignant and delicately precarious.
It’s easy to remember and sing, so it’s still a popular choice at karaoke today.
As many times as you likeDREAMS COME TRUE
“Nando Demo” is popular across all generations.
I used to sing it a lot too, and it seems many people are familiar with the chorus, so it always got the crowd going.
It’s definitely a song worth knowing! The tricky part of this song is the breathing during the chorus.
Where the same phrase repeats, you can run out of breath and it gets tough.
Proper diaphragmatic breathing is important, but rather than belting each phrase with full power, try to focus on connecting the lines as you sing.
When you shift your mindset, your body will adjust so your breath lasts through the phrase.
Also, the last chorus is the most demanding; singing it with a powerful voice is more for advanced singers.
Don’t push yourself—start by singing it lightly, and you’ll get used to it little by little.
It’s also a great song for strengthening your chest voice, so give it a try in practice!
