[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.

[Recommended] Short and Easy-to-Sing Japanese Karaoke Songs (71–80)
Until we meet againyuzu
This is a popular song by Yuzu that runs about three and a half minutes.
It has a relaxed tempo and a warm, gentle vibe.
The soft voices of the two Yuzu members suit it perfectly.
It’s short with just the right tempo, can be sung as a duo, and I think it’s an easy song to try even for people who aren’t good at karaoke.
Sinbad on the Shorepinku redii
This is one of the signature songs by Pink Lady, the idol duo.
With its bright and catchy vibe, it seems like it would really liven up a karaoke session! The song wraps up in about two and a half minutes.
If you sing it as a duo like Pink Lady, even people who aren’t confident in their singing can enjoy it without worry!
I did nothing for two hours.wasureranneeyo
Wasure ran nee yo is a band that’s gained popularity with its sharp rock sound and comical lyrics.
They’re especially supported by guys in their teens and twenties.
Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend for people who aren’t confident in singing is “Did Nothing for Two Hours.” While it’s on the slightly higher side vocally, the melody is easy to remember, and you don’t need to sing it perfectly clean, so overall it’s a low-difficulty song.
The fact that it’s very short is also one of the reasons it’s easy to sing.
Let’s go!! Rider KickFujioka Hiroshi
This is the earliest theme song from the wildly popular Showa-era tokusatsu drama Kamen Rider—so famous it hardly needs any introduction.
It’s a classic tune that just about everyone has heard at least once, and with the 2023 remake Shin Kamen Rider doing so well, I’ve deliberately chosen it in the spirit of riding that wave of popularity.
The singer, Hiroshi Fujioka—needless to say, the actor who played Kamen Rider No.
1—has a wonderfully soothing, deep voice.
Don’t overthink it; just tap into your inner kid, sing along, and enjoy! With the Shin Kamen Rider film performing strongly right now, it’s sure to be a welcome, timely pick.
Make a WishELLEGARDEN
ELLEGARDEN’s “Make a Wish” is a song that shifts from a slow, stripped-down intro to an exciting, high-energy climax, and among fans it has a strong image as the perfect track to close out a live show.
The acoustic guitar at the beginning resonates with the heart, and from there the tension shoots straight to the max—something that won’t change even when it’s a karaoke pick.
English lyrics often get avoided as hard to sing, but this one is short and simple, making it easy even for those who aren’t comfortable with English lyrics.
How about using it as the final song to wrap up your karaoke session?
