[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 (41–50)
revolutionandymori
Although the band has already disbanded, this is a song by the three-piece rock band andymori.
It’s a simple, unadorned track, but the passionate lyrics that evoke youthful days leave a strong impression.
It’s only about two minutes long, so make sure to pour plenty of passion into your singing!
Into the DreamInoue Yosui
With a singing voice, musical style, and overall presence that radiate a one-of-a-kind individuality, folk singer Yosui Inoue has created many hit songs, including those he has written for other artists.
This track—one of Inoue’s signature songs—was used as the theme song for the 1973 film “After School” and is also famous for having been covered by many artists.
It’s so well-known that you can recognize it from the opening guitar phrase alone, making it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at karaoke with any group.
Plus, at under three minutes long and with relatively few melodies to memorize, it’s a great choice even for people who aren’t confident at karaoke.
snow jamRin Oto
A signature song by Rin-ne, a rapper gaining attention among young people.
It’s a mellow, chill track with striking lyrics that portray a sweet-and-sour love story.
Since it’s rap, the amount of lyrics might feel a bit heavy, but the runtime is only about three minutes, so it’ll likely feel quite short once you try singing it.
Also, most parts other than the chorus are rap, making it easier to tackle even if you’re not confident in your singing.
Focus on riding the track’s rhythm as you perform!
I got a girlfriend.SHISHAMO
A song included as the first track on SHISHAMO’s debut album, “SHISHAMO.” It’s about three minutes long.
A karaoke classic! Highly recommended for kicking off the night and getting everyone hyped.
The structure is simple and the progression is speedy.
I’d love to see you sing it cutely while hopping around (lol)!
Us, as alwaysB’z
B’z are known for releasing songs with very long titles, but this one is actually short in performance time.
It’s a warm, gentle track that suits an acoustic sound well.
It’s a lovely song that expresses the desire to move forward freely.
monsterHoshino Gen
This is a two-and-a-half-minute song by Gen Hoshino, who is dominating the J-POP scene.
The marimba in the intro, just like in his 2018 release “Idea,” is actually played by Hoshino himself.
It’s an uptempo, light, and very easy-to-sing track.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAYDREAMS COME TRUE
Depending on the generation, many people might think of this song when they hear “birthday song.” It’s about three minutes long, which I think is a very easy length to sing.
Whether you can pronounce the English well seems to be the key to whether you can sing it well.
