Gentle songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke. Recommended classics and popular tracks (31–40)
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!
Before our feelings overlap…Hirai Ken
From the very beginning, Ken Hirai’s beautiful singing voice resonates in this song.
It’s a 2004 track that was used in a TOYOTA Corolla Fielder commercial and also served as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “The Truth of Tsugumi Kuzushi.” The lyrics make it a ballad that feels both like singing and like speaking to someone, so it’s a song you can really get into and sing calmly.
I often point out Ken Hirai’s singing characteristics to my students, so please use them as a reference! First, while it’s memorable that he sings with his eyes closed, in reality, closing your eyes can cause unnecessary tension and make it harder to stay on pitch.
However, Hirai raises his eyebrows and uses his hand to track the pitch while he sings.
He compensates in other ways so that singing becomes more natural and easier.
This gesture also makes it much easier to produce falsetto, so definitely give it a try!
The anemone cried outŌhashi Torio
A gentle whispering voice intertwines comfortably with instruments that evoke the excitement of setting off on an adventure.
If you listen in the morning, it might put you at ease and help you start your day.
It’s a song I’d love for you to try singing together with someone harmonizing along.
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.”
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!

I’ll be by your side.Uru
“I’ll Be by Your Side” is the second digital single, selected as the theme song for the ABEMA original romance series We Got Married Season 4.
The track, written by singer-songwriter Yuuri—renowned for the smash hit “Dry Flower”—also drew attention for the high-profile collaboration.
Its clear, airy vocals over a lively shuffle beat feel wonderfully soothing.
While the overall vocal range isn’t very wide, the chorus features repeated leaps into falsetto, so focus on staying on pitch all the way through.
Also, be careful not to slip off the bouncy rhythm, as it can change the entire feel of the song.
budKobukuro
One of Kobukuro’s signature songs, Tsubomi, was written by Kentarō Obuchi in memory of his late mother.
Released in 2007, the song was used as the theme for the drama Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad.
Not only is it well-known and easy to remember, but its gentle, flowing pace also makes it comfortable to sing.
Because the melody has a fairly wide range, you should pay some attention to the key.
If your voice is on the lower side, try lowering the key a bit; if you’re good with higher keys, singing in the original key might be best.
Sing it with your heart, thinking of someone dear to you.
