Gentle songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke: Recommended classics and popular tracks (21–30)
Shape of Love feat. HIDE (GReeeeN)MISIA
This is a collaboration song by MISIA—the female singer whose solo rendition of Japan’s national anthem at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (held in 2021) received worldwide acclaim—and HIDE from the four-member vocal group GReeeeN.
The track was used as the theme song for the TV drama “Stepmom and Daughter’s Blues,” and a self-cover version is also included on GReeeeN’s 9th album, “Dai-9.” Its positive, straightforward message pairs perfectly with MISIA’s powerful yet gentle vocals, resulting in an inspiring piece.
As one of MISIA’s signature and well-known songs, it’s also a great choice to liven up a karaoke session.
searchlightTamaki Kōji
This is the 25th single by singer-songwriter Koji Tamaki, who debuted as the vocalist of the rock band Anzenchitai and has continued to command a unique presence with his overwhelming vocal ability and versatile multi-instrumental talent.
The song was used as the ending theme for the TV drama Tokyo Bandwagon, in which he himself appeared.
His voice, which blends power and delicacy within a gentle tone, leaves a strong impression.
The highly expressive singing and lyrical arrangement also make it very satisfying to perform at karaoke.
It’s a nostalgic-feeling track that you’ll want to sing while keeping Koji Tamaki’s vocal style in mind.
Angel in my heartSIZUKU
A song by singer and actress SIZUKU, digitally released in July 2023.
It is the theme song for the TV drama “I Used to Be an Idol, Now I’m a Delivery Person,” starring Yuma Teranishi and with SIZUKU herself as the heroine, which begins airing on BS Fuji on July 2.
The track unfolds quite dramatically—starting with a ballad-style opening, shifting to an up-tempo section, and returning to a ballad feel toward the end.
However, the vocal melody remains consistently very singable throughout, and the vocal range used isn’t very wide, so as long as you keep up with the song’s development, it should be very easy for anyone to sing.
I am a bear.Utada Hikaru
It’s a humorous, gentle song with a nursery-rhyme feel.
Even people who are tone-deaf might be able to sing it comfortably without trying too hard.
At just two and a half minutes, it’s short, so it could be nice to remember as a soothing tune.
The overall vocal range is A3 to C5.
It may be a bit high, but if you sing in a soft tone, your voice will naturally lean on falsetto, which suits the song’s atmosphere.
Swaying side to side as you sing makes it even cuter! The lyrics and music are by Hikaru Utada, and the lyrics sound like a child speaking—that’s part of what makes it so charming.
There’s even a section with a greeting in French, blending playfulness and sophistication for a fun touch.
Try adding it to your karaoke lineup when you want a little break!
W/X/YTani Yuuki
W/X/Y, released in May 2021.
It’s a signature song by Tani Yuuki! It’s a recommended love song for those who want to practice falsetto naturally and without strain, and it makes it easy to move from chest voice → mixed voice → falsetto.
I’ve taught it a few times myself, but the melody line was more difficult than I expected… I recommend memorizing it well before singing.
In particular, the B-melody has a line that clearly sounds like falsetto even just by listening! In general, Tani Yuuki has a gentle vocal quality, so his singing has an airy, open feel.
To start, try imitating that: take a solid breath and sing with a gentle tone.
Since falsetto uses a lot of air, the key point is to “take in plenty of breath.”
In the midst of the trivialHoshino Gen
A gentle, tender ballad by Gen Hoshino.
Though the song has a soft atmosphere, it uses words that convey human reality—resentment, envy, the scent of people—evoking both human foolishness and lovability.
It’s a track I’d love for you to sing while reflecting on yourself.
Blue BookmarkGalileo Galilei
A refreshing track that begins with a calm, mysterious intro.
The interplay with the female vocals from the second verse adds an emotional touch that makes you want to listen again and again.
While many of the lyrics evoke summer, the coolness the song brings is incredibly soothing.
