Gentle songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke: Recommended classics and popular tracks (11–20)
Jewelry dayayaka
This is singer-songwriter Ayaka’s fifth single.
During her student days she was active across a wide range—from solo piano-and-vocal performances to cover bands—and she sang at local festivals and live houses.
The song was tied in as the main theme for the film Last Love.
Its striking arrangement layers acoustic guitars, and the emotional vocals leave a powerful impression.
Ayaka’s distinctive voice, instantly recognizable from the first listen, has a charm that draws listeners straight into the world of the song.
It’s a number whose gentle yet powerful vocals will move your heart—try singing it at karaoke with Ayaka’s style in mind.
Can I call it magic?Hirai Ken
This song also drew attention for featuring alongside Haruka Ayase in a Panasonic DSLR camera commercial.
Although he seems to appear in many commercials, this was actually only Ken Hirai’s second commercial appearance.
Accompanied solely by Ryosuke Nagaoka of the three-piece band PETROLZ on acoustic guitar, the tenderness of this song is just…
The everyday scenes of two people in love, where nothing really happens, feel achingly poignant.
It’d be so cool to be able to sing a song like this so effortlessly.
Highly recommended for those confident in their singing!
HikariAndrop
A distinctively unfolding ballad that was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Good Doctor.” The delicate, ephemeral vocals pair beautifully with the song’s strength and resilience.
It’s a track you’ll want to belt out powerfully at karaoke.
LOVE LOVE LOVEDREAMS COME TRUE
A smash-hit love song released in 1995.
Best known as the theme song for the drama “Say You Love Me,” it’s characterized by simple lyrics and a bittersweet melody.
For karaoke, the key points are singing with emotion and adjusting the key.
Since the melody is repetitive and the range isn’t too high, it’s easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke! It’s such a well-known classic that many people will be drawn in from the intro.
I recommend slightly raising the energy and belting out the chorus, but for the other parts, it’s fine to keep it light—almost like taking a breather.
Vanillakyanai
Released on March 9, 2022 as the 4th digital single, this is a signature love song by Kyanai.
Its simple lyrics and bittersweet backstory became a hot topic, turning it into a massive hit that surpassed 100 million streams.
The overall vocal range spans D3 to A4, with higher notes appearing toward the latter half.
The melody is simple, so even first-time listeners should find it easy to pick up.
The B section in particular sits low, and you might feel the pitch dropping and harder to sing, so make sure your vocal cords are fully engaged.
Focus on the hollow between your collarbones and imagine projecting the voice forward from there!
A Bouquet for YouUtada Hikaru
A digital-only fifth single by singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada, who, despite debuting as a teenager and leaving a powerful mark on the J-pop scene, took a hiatus for “human activities” and continues to command an overwhelming presence today.
Chosen as the theme song for the NHK morning drama Toto Nee-chan, the track carries a message said to be addressed to her late mother, Keiko Fuji, which is truly heart-wrenching.
The arrangement, which spotlights lyrics that set it apart from Utada’s widely known songs, creates a unique beauty together with her gentle vocals.
It’s a bittersweet yet beautiful number you’ll want to sing at karaoke while savoring each and every word.

Close your eyesHirai Ken
Speaking of Ken Hirai, it’s all about “Ken’s Bar.” The live venue is styled like a bar, and you can actually enjoy drinks while watching the show.
What a stylish concept—it’s the kind of concert you’d want to attend at least once.
His hit song “Hitomi wo Tojite” overflows with gentleness in both melody and lyrics.
Written as the theme for the film “Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World,” it captures profound affection within a single track.
If you’re unsure what to pick, this is the one I recommend.
