Gentle songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke: Recommended classics and popular tracks (21–30)
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.
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.
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.
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.
SoupFujihara Sakura
This track blends instrument tones that evoke country music with a hazy, whispery voice in a really satisfying way.
The cute lyrics and vocals may completely capture many listeners’ hearts.
I’d love for you to try singing it as if you’re speaking directly to someone.
