[Recommended] Short, easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs
I think there are quite a few people who aren’t good with karaoke, but sometimes you just can’t turn it down because of social obligations.
What’s more, there may be situations where, once you go, you can’t get away without singing at least one song.
So, I’m going to introduce some short songs that are easy to sing even for those who aren’t comfortable with karaoke!
Most of the songs I’m about to introduce are a little over three minutes long, but some are around two minutes.
Long songs can be tough for people who aren’t confident about singing, but you might be able to manage a short one!
Also, feel free to use this as a reference when choosing the final song as your room time is about to run out.

Breaking out from TikTok, singer-songwriter Sui has become especially popular among younger generations.
This song, “Kawaii Kimi ga Itooshii!” (“My Adorable You is So Dear!”), is a super cute love song that’ll make your heart flutter.
It’s packed with such pure feelings of “I like you” that you might even feel a bit shy singing it! It could be easy to sing for high schoolers and people around that age.
The track is short at about 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and it’s over before you know it.
Since it’s a cute love song, it’s also easy for women to sing without it feeling out of place!
As an ex-girlfriendMy Hair is Bad
“Moto Kanojo Toshite” is a track from the 2017 album mothers.
It’s a love song about getting fed up with someone who never takes you seriously and deciding to break up.
The upbeat rhythm and looping chorus perfectly match the breezy feel of the lyrics.
Among My Hair’s songs, the lower vocal range stands out here, making it approachable for singers with deeper voices.
Its short length—just over two minutes—also makes it an easy one to try.
Give it a go when you’re in a similar situation or just want to sing it out and feel refreshed!
flashbackASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
Despite being a rock band, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION has remained at the top of the J-POP scene for many years, and this song of theirs also wraps up in about two minutes.
It’s a cool track with a strong rock vibe! It’s got a real sense of speed, so sing it boldly so you won’t be outdone by the song.
Magic SoupWurtS
A track by WurtS, a 21st-century artist who went viral on social media—especially TikTok—and self-produces everything from lyrics, composition, arrangement, and design to video.
Despite being under three minutes, it’s a number that lets you fully savor the coolness of rock, with catchy guitar riffs, driving chord progressions, and energetic beats.
The melody isn’t particularly fast, and the overall key is low, making it easy to sing even for people who aren’t confident at karaoke.
Plus, its length and energy level make it perfect for hyping up the room right before your karaoke time ends, so it’s a great song to learn as one of your go-to tracks.
