The new go-to karaoke classic!
First, we’ll introduce a curated selection of hit songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke, featuring both male and female tracks. From fresh 2020s releases to timeless classics, our editorial team carefully selected picks from a wide range of genres. The most important elements when singing songs in English are pronunciation and overtones. For the former, you can make great progress by slowing down the original track and comparing it with your own recordings. For the latter, it can be challenging given typical Japanese facial structure, so try opening your mouth wider and singing with a slight jut of the jaw. Doing so will instantly make your singing sound more authentically like Western pop!
HonestyBilly Joel
Honesty is memorable for its incredibly emotional melody.
I think even younger listeners have probably heard the chorus.
You might be thinking, “Isn’t the chorus pretty high?” Actually, not really.
If you try singing it, you’ll see the chorus is surprisingly doable in chest voice.
Honestly, it’s a range that even Oninyako Tsubaki could handle (lol).
I actually find the B-melody before the chorus—where the voltage rises—more challenging than the chorus itself.
That said, the melody is basically simple, so even people who aren’t confident with high notes or who aren’t good at vocal runs can sing it smoothly.
ClockworkLaufey
Thanks to the recent revival boom, music genres that once dominated the mainstream are back in the spotlight.
“Clockwork” can be considered one of those tracks.
Crafted as an authentic piece of standard jazz, it’s sung within a narrow vocal range, true to the genre.
Unlike modern jazz, the rhythm remains steady, so as long as you focus on delivering it with a solid, bluesy feel, it should be approachable for anyone to sing smoothly.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
TearsSabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter, who rose from a Disney actress to a hugely successful singer, is truly an icon for women around the world—combining cuteness with a touch of sexiness in her style.
Her hit song Tears sits within the mid2A to hiC range, making it relatively accessible in terms of vocal range for a female Western pop song.
The chorus is sung entirely in a whisper voice, so it doesn’t require much volume.
While there are some intricate ad-libs, the melody doesn’t jump drastically, so anyone with a decent sense of groove, rhythm, and arrangement should be able to sing it without much difficulty.
Cnce Upon A Time In CaliforniaBelinda Carlisle
Belinda Carlisle, a female singer who was active from the late ’80s to the early ’90s, is known for her distinctive voice—mysterious in that it carries the bright edge of a high register while also having the richness characteristic of overtones.
Her cover of “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” included on her album “Once Upon a Time in California,” is a classic by Dionne Warwick and is sung within a relatively narrow range, from mid2C to hiD.
Since the original is what it is, there’s a bit of a Black music flavor that remains, but it doesn’t demand any advanced riffs or runs.
If you focus on vibrato that aligns the overtones and frequencies with the off-beats, you should be able to achieve a very high-quality result.
EspressoSabrina Carpenter
Since this song was often used as BGM on TikTok and Reels, even people who aren’t into Western music have probably heard it, right? I also strongly associate it with playing over café and in-store background music! Plus, the song’s dance/nu-disco vibe makes it catchy and naturally makes your body move.
It’s under three minutes long, so take this opportunity to learn the full thing! It’s not a song where you belt, so beginners should be able to sing it lightly, almost like humming along.
The key is to sing with the rhythm.
In the latter half, a counter-melody comes in, so be careful not to get thrown off.
HelloAdele
This song was covered by Taka from ONE OK ROCK, and one of my male students practiced it a lot in our lessons! It was the Taka version, but as he kept practicing, he was able to hit the high notes in the chorus cleanly and comfortably.
So it might be a good practice piece, and it’s also a song that feels amazing to sing once you can do it, so I recommend it! The A and B sections are basically low and gentle, but the chorus jumps into high notes, so the trick is to sing without tensing up.
You might feel like belting, but imagine sending the sound far out.
There are also falsetto ad-libs, so if you keep resonating in the space between your eyebrows and the top of your head, switching between chest voice and falsetto will become smoother.
Try to stay mindful of lifting your facial muscles as you sing!
The GiverChappell Roan
Chappell Roan, known as a transgender singer.
Her song The Giver, released in March 2025, is one of her signature tracks.
While she mainly excels in genres like synth-pop and dark pop, this work features a gentler melody with a somewhat country-like feel.
The vocal range spans from mid1 F# to high E, which is fairly wide, but since there are almost no ad-libs aside from some embellishments in the final arrangement, it’s relatively approachable to sing.
