Full-Power BoySukima Suichi
This is Sukima Switch’s fifth single, released in April 2005.
It was also used in a commercial song for DoCoMo Kansai.
That slightly nasal, pleasantly laid-back vocal style—never sounding like they’re “trying too hard,” even in the high, soaring parts of the chorus—is a trademark of Sukima Switch.
Now, you might wonder whether this is really a song where you can aim for a high karaoke score.
It can be a bit challenging to memorize and faithfully trace Sukima Switch’s distinctive, slightly sophisticated melodies.
However, once you clear that hurdle, it’s not a song that demands extraordinary vocal prowess, so aiming for a high score isn’t out of the question.
If you can score high with this slightly tricky, stylish melody, you might become the object of everyone’s envy! Be sure to memorize the melody accurately and give it a try! Oh, but remember—don’t let it sound like you’re “trying too hard,” okay?
sasanqua (Camellia sasanqua)SEKAI NO OWARI
This is the 12th major (14th overall) single by the Japanese band SEKAI NO OWARI, released in February 2018.
It was selected as NHK’s broadcast theme song for the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, and it also won the Excellence Award at the 60th Japan Record Awards.
It’s a beautiful ballad with a slightly boyish-sounding vocal that leaves a strong impression.
Compared to songs from the early 2000s and earlier that we’ve often featured, the vocal melody includes a few sections that are somewhat challenging to sing, making it a selection geared a bit more toward advanced singers.
However, if you carefully follow the melody, you can definitely aim for a high score, so if you’re confident in your singing, give it a try.
A Little Love SongMONGOL800
It’s one of MONGOL800’s signature songs, included on their 2001 album “Message.” It’s also well-known for being covered by many different artists.
Now, when it comes to singing this song at karaoke, the key is how steadily you can hold the pitch in the low notes of the opening A and B sections.
Even in the original performance, there are quite a few spots where the pitch isn’t exactly stable, so keeping those low melodies solid will be crucial.
On the flip side, the high parts can often be powered through with momentum, so if the low range is tough for you, it might be a good idea to raise the key a bit.
Do your best to keep the original song’s energy intact!
For women (31–40)
The more straightforward a song is, the easier it is to sing!
In recent Japanese music, there’s been an increase in songs—both with male and female vocals—that are easy to grasp at first listen.

This time, we’ve picked out songs that are especially easy to sing! The article also includes concrete technique explanations by a former and a current vocal instructor, so if you want to aim for a high score at karaoke, be sure to check it out!

SunYorushika
Yorushika is a popular duo known for their wide-ranging musicality.
They can make any style their own, but the one that shines most is arguably their ennui-tinged sound.
Their song “Taiyo” (Sun) is a work where you can fully savor that moody aesthetic.
What makes this track especially easy to sing is its narrow vocal range.
In addition to sitting in a register anyone can comfortably produce, the vocal line has few ups and downs, making it an ideal choice for aiming at a high score.
Listening to OliviaNEW!Anri
A heartrending ballad with a heartbreak theme.
Although it’s a song from 1978, it remains popular for karaoke and often ranks in nationwide scoring systems like JOYSOUND and DAM—a true classic.
The tempo isn’t too fast or too slow, so you should be able to calmly follow the pitch and lyrics.
There aren’t any sections where the pitch suddenly jumps very high, but the chorus starts on G4 and is generally on the higher side, so keeping your resonance placement consistent will help your voice stay steady.
Try singing with a slightly higher-placed voice.
27:00Burandē Senki
Brandy War Chronicles is a band that sets itself apart from other girl bands with its stylish musicality.
While they fall under J-pop as a genre, some songs incorporate elements of Black music, giving them a very wide-ranging sound.
They have many great tracks, but 27:00 is especially recommended.
This song sits in a low vocal range, and the vocal lines don’t move widely in pitch.
Even so, it unfolds with high-level, sophisticated developments, making it a great pick for those who want to aim for a high score with a stylish track.
A happy promise.riria.
Riria is a female singer-songwriter of straightforward J-pop who enjoys overwhelming support from teenage and twenty-something women.
She has many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Shiawase na Yakusoku” (“A Happy Promise”).
Because it uses a lot of falsetto, it might seem difficult.
It’s true the falsetto appears quite frequently, but in this song the falsetto only reaches pitches that can also be sung in chest voice.
The overall vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much, making it perfect for aiming for a high score.
