Recently, with the K-pop boom, the difficulty level of Japanese music has risen sharply compared to before.
Songs that use whisper voice and mixed voice have become standard, and on top of that, advanced vocal techniques like riffs/ad-libs and hiccups are now being demanded.

So this time, we’ve picked out tracks that even those who lack confidence in their singing or consider themselves tone-deaf can handle! Of course, we chose them with karaoke crowd-pleasing in mind, so please consider adding them to your repertoire!

Top 20 Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs (1–10)
Let me introduce some classic songs that always go over well at karaoke!
Singing well at karaoke might be important, but above all, what matters is not killing the vibe. In other words, it comes down to whether the song is familiar and a crowd-pleaser. Here, we’ve picked out especially easy-to-sing tracks from among the classics. We’ve also included technical tips from a writer with experience as a vocal coach, so be sure to use those as a guide and give them a try!
Magical Syndromeyama
The special MV theme song for “Magical Chiikawa,” titled “Magical Syndrome,” was released as a digital-only single on October 22, 2025.
The music video is also available on YouTube, featuring elements related to Chiikawa and receiving high praise from viewers.
The vocal range of “Magical Syndrome” might be a bit high, but since it’s basically sung in falsetto, if you can produce a light tone, you should be able to get proper frontal resonance and find the pitch more easily! To activate that resonance between the eyebrows, use humming.
This humming is crucial—if you tense up and force your throat, you won’t be able to stay on pitch.
Start at a volume so soft it’s almost only audible to you.
Once you get used to humming, try alternating between humming and singing; if you can sing with the same consistent sensation, you’ve got it!
My subjectsKetsumeishi
A song released on October 31, 2025, it’s a life-affirming anthem dedicated to headstrong adults.
It carries a powerful message that turns failures into funny stories.
Since it’s by Ketsumeishi, there are rap parts too, making it appealing because you don’t have to worry much about pitch when singing.
The tempo is relaxed, so it’s a song you can sing calmly, but it’s important to lock into the rhythm, and you might stumble a bit where there are lots of words.
For a song like this, it’s best to memorize the lyrics! Try singing it every day as if you’re humming to yourself.
Light humming is also recommended.
Live, brilliantlyikimonogakari
This song was written as the opening theme for the sixth season of the TV anime Kingdom, and the phrase in the title, “Ikite, Sansan,” really sticks in your ears.
The range isn’t too high or too low; it sits comfortably in a register that’s easy for women to sing.
It’s also easy to catch the tempo, so it’s highly recommended for those who think they’re tone-deaf! The melody isn’t difficult either, so it’s best to sing each phrase carefully.
Rather than keeping a blank face, try raising your eyebrows and using expressive gestures, as if you’re tracing the pitch with your hands.
Also, if you sing the beginning of the C section a bit more strongly, your voice will project well and it should feel great to sing!
Great personVaundy
This is an inspiration song for the NHK Taiga drama “Reach Beyond the Blue Sky.” It’s interesting that the piece was created, inspired by the life of Eiichi Shibusawa, who is depicted on the 10,000-yen bill.
“Iseijin” is a song with a lively tempo, and the vocal range is set in a key that’s comfortable for male singers.
There are some passages where the pitch moves subtly at the ends of phrases, but I think it’s best to sing straight through at first without worrying too much about that.
Rather than forcing your pitch to match, focus on proper vocal production using your vocal cords; that will make it easier to sing in tune.
Try lifting your eyebrows and consciously projecting your voice clearly!
i love youchanmina
This is a song released in October 2025, written as the theme for the TBS Friday drama “Fake Mummy.” If you’ve been watching the show, it’ll sound familiar—you might even remember the melody! Although this track doesn’t feature any rap, it still conveys Chanmina’s world through its R&B and hip-hop elements.
The song isn’t about belting; it mainly uses a breathy, whisper-like vocal.
Even if you feel you’re tone-deaf, if you can control your breath, you can definitely sing it stylishly! First, the basic technique for singing is diaphragmatic breathing, so relax, breathe, and let your voice out.
If your chest rises when you inhale, that’s chest breathing, and you won’t be able to take in enough air.
Overall, staying loose and relaxed is key!
Roar – HOKOTomonari Sora
It’s an energetic track themed around a “cry of the soul,” released for streaming on October 19, 2025, and used as the ending theme for Season 6 of the TV anime Kingdom, which airs on NHK General.
The overall vocal range of “HOKO” is fairly wide, spanning A2 to D#5.
The verses sit relatively low, so be careful not to strain your throat.
You should feel the pitch jump significantly higher in the chorus.
Try covering one ear and listening to both your own voice and Sora Tomonari’s voice in the original to check what pitches you’re singing.
Splitting it up by melody sections will make it easier to grasp.
Your umbrellaKimura Kaera
Kaela Kimura’s “Kimi no Kasa,” released for streaming on October 29, 2025, is the theme song for the film “Sumikkogurashi: The Sky Kingdom and the Two Kogurashi.” Listening to the track, you can tell it’s structured in a way that makes the build-up easy to grasp, and you can sing it solidly step by step in the order of verse A → verse B → chorus.
The chorus does include some high notes, but there’s no need to belt them out.
It’s perfectly fine to use falsetto for the high notes to evoke the gentle world of Sumikkogurashi.
Also, while the chorus may feel high, if you think you’re tone-deaf, you’ll likely find the higher notes actually easier to produce—so sing out with confidence!
