[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 (81–90)
Let’s go together.GReeeeN
Not only is it short and easy to sing, but “Let’s Go Together” also carries a moving message.
It was used as the theme song for the au Santaro series commercials that aired starting on New Year’s Day 2019.
Created by GReeeeN, the lyrics convey the idea of “let’s walk toward the future together.” Incidentally, this piece is said to be an arrangement of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” and “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.”
houseKyūso Nekokami
“Ie” (Home), released by Kyuso Nekokami in August 2017, is a track created as a theme song for a Tama Home commercial.
It’s a very unique song composed entirely of the single word “home.” Once you listen, you’ll see how easy it is to sing and remember.
Even those who aren’t confident at karaoke can enjoy it casually.
Definitely try singing it together with everyone!
Lies and Scarsivudotto
Ivu-dot is a singer who’s popular among teenage listeners, known for his clear, translucent vocals.
This track, “Uso to Kizuato” (Lies and Scars), is one of his shorter songs that I especially recommend.
Since it features a lot of falsetto, it might be tough for those who can’t hit high notes, but the vocal line itself isn’t particularly complex, so if you can reach the notes it’s surprisingly singable.
And because it’s short, even the high sections shouldn’t be too taxing on your stamina.
Definitely give it a listen.
Dear My Friend feat.PentatonixLittle Glee Monster
This song, Dear My Friend feat.
Pentatonix, is a collaboration between Little Glee Monster and Pentatonix, the world-renowned mixed a cappella group with one female and four male members.
It’s a track where you could say their exceptional vocal skills collide, creating an extremely pleasant listening experience that makes you want to keep it on repeat.
Despite that, the song is relatively short at about 3 minutes and 10 seconds.
While their vocal mastery might feel a bit intimidating, it’s truly beautiful and makes a perfect song to dedicate to a friend.
I like you for one minuteKALMA
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could express our feelings of “I like you” so honestly? Released in March 2020, this song is a sweet and bittersweet love tune about cherished moments with a partner.
The lyrics convey a desire to treasure secrets shared only between the two of them, and when combined with the refreshing, youthful rock sound, simply listening can make you feel like you’re in love.
It might be nice to sing it together with your partner and reaffirm your feelings for each other.
