Popular easy-to-sing karaoke songs. Recommended masterpieces and hit songs (41–50)
Sora-buneTOKIO
A memorable hit that Miyuki Nakajima wrote for TOKIO.
The sharp lyrics leave an impression, yet the melody is easy to remember and the key itself isn’t very demanding.
If you sing it with passionate feeling like vocalist Tomoya Nagase, you’ll feel wonderfully refreshed when you finish.
I love youSuiyōbi no Campanella
This is the second opening theme for the TV anime Ranma 1/2.
Because the lyrics prioritize catchy wordplay, including mahjong terms, you’ll need to learn the rhythm and wording, but once you lock into the groove it’s very easy to sing! The key itself isn’t high, so it’s recommended for people who like rap-style songs or aren’t comfortable with big, belted melodies.
When singing, focus on listening to the bouncy backbeat—you’ll find your body naturally moving with it.
The combination of Shihou from Wednesday Campanella on vocals and a Chinese-inspired vibe is a perfect match, so be sure to enjoy the music video as well!
Spring Dayaimyon
In “Harunohi,” the A and B sections sit in a lower range, and the chorus jumps up into the higher register.
The highest note is C#5, but the melody is very clear, so it should be relatively easy to sing in tune.
Also, adding dynamics within the song will boost your score, so try to build excitement from A section → B section → chorus.
Stability is important for karaoke scoring, too, so focus on fundamentals: sustain your long tones to match the pitch bar, come in cleanly on the opening notes, and keep your intonation solid.
If you keep these basics in mind, you can aim for 100 points—give it a try!
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.
HANABIMr.Children
A song famous as the theme for a hugely popular medical drama series.
Although it was released in 2008, it had a resurgence in 2017, partly due to the show’s influence.
The lyrics are quite dense, so it might seem difficult to sing at first glance, but as you listen, the words naturally come to you along with the rhythm.
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!
Naughty SunORANGE RANGE
For men in their late twenties and older, ORANGE RANGE is likely a particularly nostalgic band.
They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Ikenai Taiyō.” It’s a rap-rock track with a slightly comical touch, and both the chorus and its hook phrase deliver an outstanding lift.
It’s generally an easy song to sing, but since there’s a key change from the intro to the first verse, those who feel unsure should practice it a few times.
