cherry blossomKobukuro
This is the 12th single by the musical duo Kobukuro, whose group name comes from the surnames of its members, Kentaro Kobuchi and Shunsuke Kuroda.
The song was used as the theme for the TV drama “Ns’ Aoi” and became a long-running hit, making it one of Kobukuro’s signature tracks.
The A-melody mainly moves between two pitches, making it easy to sing, while the chorus ascends stepwise, which helps with grasping the pitch.
As a well-known classic, it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
rootKing Gnu
King Gnu’s new song “Nekko.” Despite the unique title, it’s unexpectedly a sincere ballad, crafted with a gently bittersweet atmosphere throughout.
Some listeners might feel it sits a bit high, but the vocal range isn’t particularly wide.
So as long as you adjust the key to suit your voice, anyone can sing it without trouble.
Because of the poignant melody, paying attention to dynamics will make it sound more professional.
It also goes over well at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Song of a FriendBUMP OF CHICKEN
BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 19th single overall.
Released in February 2011.
It was the theme song for the 2011 film Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops—Angel Wings.
While it doesn’t feature particularly complex melodies and is a good choice even for those who aren’t confident singers, there’s a key change in the chorus, so be careful to keep your pitch steady there.
Aim for a soft, gentle vocal delivery throughout.
Youthful AmigoShūji to Akira
A single by the Japanese male idol duo Shuji to Akira.
It was released in Japan, Sweden, and Taiwan.
Co-produced in collaboration with a Swedish songwriting team, it was released in Japan in November 2005.
It also served as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama ‘Nobuta wo Produce,’ in which the two singers starred.
The song features a slightly wistful, heartrending melody that leaves an impression, but as an idol track, it’s structured with a very singable melody.
That makes it an easy pick for karaoke, even for those who aren’t confident singers.
In the original recording, the vocal track seems to use pitch-correction effects somewhat aggressively, but don’t worry about that too much—just sing it naturally!
To say goodbyebiriibanban
A song that combines ease of singing, a beautiful melody, lovely lyrics, and triple meter is Billy BanBan’s “To Say Goodbye.” It’s highly recommended as a karaoke song for men who tend to go off pitch.
It’s truly easy to sing, so how about making it one of your go-to karaoke numbers?
I want to hug you.Mr.Children
This is a classic love song by Mr.Children, an artist who continues to lead the Japanese music scene with universally acclaimed, exceptional musical sensibility and overwhelming live performances.
It’s a ballad imbued with the desire to protect a loved one, and its low pitch makes it an easy masterpiece for anyone to sing.
OrangeSMAP
It’s the B-side (coupling track) of SMAP’s 32nd single, “Lion Heart,” released in August 2000.
It’s a warm, easygoing SMAP song, so even people who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to pick for karaoke.
But if you let your guard down thinking that, the chorus notes are unexpectedly high, so you might want to be a bit careful with the key setting.
If possible, try to sing the whole song with a gentle, soft voice to make it sound even nicer.
