A special feature on love songs and ballads you want girls to sing at karaoke

Karaoke is a special place where both the singer and the listeners can feel happy.

Many men are especially captivated by women’s singing voices, and I think quite a few find themselves listening intently.

Love songs and ballads have a mysterious power to reach someone’s heart.

This time, we’re introducing recommended songs from popular artists that are sure to capture men’s hearts.

Why not weave wonderful memories with someone special through your own singing voice?

Love Songs - Ballads (71–80)

As a female-vocal artist you absolutely can’t leave out right now, YOASOBI is at the top.

Plenty of people, regardless of gender, love vocalist ikura’s clear, translucent voice! That said, their signature song “Yoru ni Kakeru” is fast-paced and can feel a bit challenging for many women.

That’s why I recommend “Encore.” Its tempo is on the slower side and easier to sing, and many men actually hope to hear women sing this kind of simple, beautiful love ballad! If the key feels too high, it’s totally fine to lower it to match your vocal range.

YOASOBI always creates songs based on literary works, and this time the theme is Osamu Suzuki’s “Tsuki Ōji” (Moon Prince).

It seems their appearance on Suzuki’s radio show was the catalyst.

If you’ve been hesitant because YOASOBI’s songs often have high keys and strong, powerful vocals and feel a bit out of reach, I think this song, “Haruka,” will be fine.

Its warm, gentle mood is especially recommended for women who might usually be seen as a bit intense.

A soft, cozy song like this will give you a milder aura! And since it’s mid-tempo, it’s also suitable for women who aren’t very confident at karaoke.

CHE.R.RYYUI

YUI 『CHE.R.RY-short ver.-』

A classic karaoke song that also made waves as a commercial jingle back in the day.

It’s no exaggeration to say it’s been inducted into the hall of fame of love songs you want to sing at karaoke.

The high range is out of reach for most men, but women should absolutely make that high register their weapon and belt it out.

The tempo is great too, so turn the cuteness up to full and use this song to liven up the room.

nape (of the neck)aiko

A poignant ballad by aiko that unfolds her singular world of Japanese pop.

I’m sure I’m not the only one whose heart races every time at those “please understand this maiden’s heart”–style lyrics that are so characteristic of her songs.

The track Eriashi is no exception.

Lyrics like “I’m sorry I’m so awkward, but I’m always thinking of you” are bound to pierce a man’s heart! By the way, although the song normally starts from the first verse, when she performs it on TV it begins from the chorus.

Don’t miss it!

Cherry Blossom Timeaiko

Released just three months after the lingering hype of the previous smash hit “Kabutomushi,” this song, “Sakura no Toki,” flips the script from the soothing balladry of “Kabutomushi” to a bright pop tune that truly showcases Aiko’s signature style in full bloom.

It’s an irresistibly feel-good number that could make a huge impact when sung by someone who doesn’t usually get overly bubbly.

The lyrics portray a blissful couple in the midst of love, so it’s also perfect if there’s someone you’re interested in within the group you’re heading to karaoke with.

Sing it naturally, just like Aiko!

As expected, Aiko’s songs are full of classics, and you could say every track is one you’ll want to sing—and want others to sing—at karaoke.

At this point, it’s great to choose based on the vibe, the season, or the mood of the moment.

This time, how about the 1999 third single “Hanabi”? She has lots of summer songs, but you could let yourself ride the happy melody and easy-to-groove beat of this track to set the atmosphere.

I’m sure it’ll be a choice you can’t go wrong with once you start singing!

The much-talked-about singer-songwriter milet has been getting a lot of attention after performing the theme song for the drama “Gisou Furin” (Fake Affair) with this track.

Her clear, soaring high tones are striking.

The lyrics, which express feelings for the man she likes, would make your heart skip a beat if she sang them right in front of you.
