[Even If You’re Tone-Deaf, It’s Okay!] Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs and Practice Tracks (111–120)
look at the seaYuuma
Komudotto is a YouTuber group overwhelmingly popular among teenage girls.
They’ve had their fair share of troubles, but they continue to succeed, and lately they’ve been actively pursuing work as artists as well.
This song, “look at the sea,” is by Komudotto member Yuma.
Since it’s not performed by a professional singer, the vocal line is very simple and crafted to be catchy and singable by anyone.
There aren’t many high notes either, so if you’re not confident in your singing, definitely give it a try.
[Even If You’re Tone-Deaf, It’s Okay!] Introducing Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs and Practice Tracks (121–130)
HELLOFukuyama Masaharu
One of Masaharu Fukuyama’s signature songs, “HELLO.” This applies to any song, but for an up-tempo track like this, the groove matters more than pitch, so it’s recommended for people who aren’t confident singers.
Ride the rhythm, sing energetically, and prioritize the feel.
celeryYamazaki Masayoshi
Celery is a song full of clarity and freshness.
It’s one of singer-songwriter Masayoshi Yamazaki’s signature tracks, released in September 1996.
The song is widely known because SMAP covered it and turned it into a major hit.
It’s easy to sing, so even those who tend to go off pitch can perform it nicely at karaoke with a bit of practice.
SubaruTanimura Shinji
This song was released as a solo single by Shinji Tanimura in April 1980, when Alice was at the height of their popularity, and it became such a hit that many people know it not only in Japan but across other parts of Asia as well.
Because Tanimura’s vocal ability is so strong, some people may hesitate to sing it at karaoke, but the song itself is built on a very singable melody, so it shouldn’t take much effort to learn or perform.
Precisely because the melody is simple, it does call for a fair amount of expressiveness; however, as long as you pay attention to setting the key so that your voice doesn’t thin out in the high notes of the chorus and you can sing with enough power, you should be fine.
Fukuwarai (a traditional Japanese “lucky laugh” face-making game)Takahashi Yuu
This is one of Yu Takahashi’s signature songs, loved across generations for his powerful, heart-supporting vocals and emotionally charged performances.
It’s a track that expresses the importance of keeping a smile, and with its low pitch, it’s an easy number for anyone to sing.
turquoiseSEKAI NO OWARI
This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s 17th major-label single, released in April 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for Kirin’s “Hyoketsu.” Fukase, the vocalist of SEKAI NO OWARI, is a singer known for his boyish, high voice, so some listeners might recoil at first and think, “There’s no way I can sing something this high!” However, if you listen closely, you’ll find that the vocal melody doesn’t actually span a very wide range.
So please set aside any preconceptions and give it a try—you’ll likely find you can sing it quite casually, almost like humming along.
If you place the sound in your mouth as if you’re directing it toward the upper palate, you’ll enhance the higher overtones in your voice, bringing it closer to the feel of the original track.
Give it a try!
wicked womanNakajima Miyuki
Miyuki Nakajima has released many hit songs.
One I’d recommend for its comfortable vocal range is “Akujo,” released in October 1981.
Just from the title you might think, “Is it a dark song?” but the overall feel is surprisingly bright, and the melody is easy to remember.
When you look at the lyrics, though, you’ll think, “It’s kind of a bittersweet song…” The A and B sections are sung in a relatively low, speech-like manner, but there’s a spot in the chorus where the pitch suddenly jumps up—watch out for that.
Time your attack for the high notes and really lean in to project with energy.
That way, you can produce sound easily without straining your throat.
If your timing is off, it can feel awkward, so keep practicing until you nail the timing.
