Popular easy-to-sing karaoke songs. Recommended masterpieces and hit songs (41–50)
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.
Whimsical Romanticikimonogakari
Kimagure Romantic is a song that makes everyone want to sing along.
There’s a simple bit of choreography in the chorus, so it’s guaranteed to hype up a karaoke session, and it’s a song that’s fun for listeners too! The overall vocal range is A3–D5; the highest note only appears briefly in the chorus, so the range is manageable overall.
The A melody isn’t high, so it’s good to sing it lightly, almost like you’re speaking.
From the B melody it gets more rhythmic, so keep a solid sense of tempo and be careful not to rush.
If you calmly cut off notes where they should end, you’ll lock into the groove.
The chorus has choreography and is easy to get carried away with, so be careful not to speed up the tempo.
At a karaoke event held by the vocal training school I used to belong to, one of the students sang this song, and everyone started doing the chorus moves—it got super lively and was a lot of fun.
Definitely give this song a try!
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!
ultra soulB’z
A signature song by the hugely popular rock band B’z.
It’s famous as the theme song for the FINA World Championships, with an upbeat groove and catchy phrases that stick in your head.
It’s extremely well-known, has a great tempo, and always gets people fired up, so anyone—regardless of gender—will feel energized singing it.
Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS
A signature song by THE BLUE HEARTS that everyone knows, young and old alike—powerful and uplifting.
It features an easy-to-remember melody.
In the part where the chorus repeats, everyone can shout, headbang, and have a blast—an up-tempo track that’s guaranteed to get the crowd going.
A Midsummer Night’s DreamMatsutōya Yumi
It’s one of Yuming’s signature songs, a huge hit as a TV drama theme that sold over a million copies.
Watching my mother sing it at karaoke, I naturally learned to sing it too.
Its alluring, mysterious melody and easy-to-sing key are especially appealing.
One Night CarnivalKishidan
With their pompadours and school uniforms as trademarks, this is Kishidan’s major-label debut single.
