wantBiSH
The song “Want,” included on the indie second album “FAKE METAL JACKET” released after Hashiyasume Atsuko and Rinrin joined.
With lyrics by Momoko Gumi Company, its melodious guitar riff intro is cool.
The low key and narrow range make it easy to sing, but since the chorus has consecutive sustained notes, be careful to keep your pitch steady.
The beat has a sense of speed while the melody is laid-back, making it a great pick for karaoke.
Rhyme Wave Phrase DisciplesCHEHON
The classic song “Inbaku-to” has been loved for many years.
It’s a signature work by reggae deejay CHEHON, and when it was released, it became an explosive hit in Osaka, the holy land of Japanese reggae.
Nowadays, with CHEHON active in the MC battle scene, it’s also gaining support from younger generations.
Although the track has a pleasant flow, it doesn’t feature particularly difficult phrases.
The vocal range is very narrow, so most men should be able to sing it without trouble.
Don’t avert your eyes.DEEN
The fifth single by the Japanese rock/pop band DEEN, released in June 1994.
At the time, it was used in a commercial for Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Pocari Sweat.
The 1990s, when this song came out, were truly the golden age of J-pop, with million-selling hits released one after another.
One key to boosting sales back then was how easy a song was to sing at karaoke.
“Hitomi Sorasanaide,” which we’re featuring here, is no exception: it’s built around a very memorable, easy-to-sing melody that suits just about anyone.
If you’re unsure what to pick, definitely give this one a try.
Singing it casually, as if you’re humming along without trying too hard, is the best way to make it sound good.
A bouquet for boring daysLUCKY TAPES
LUCKY TAPES is the solo project of Kai Takahashi, known for an impressive sound that blends elements of indie pop and R&B into J-pop.
Their soft, delicate tone is a hallmark, and they’ve been steadily gaining attention lately.
Among LUCKY TAPES’ songs, the one I especially recommend is “Bouquet for Boring Days.” It’s not exactly a low-pitched song, but the overall range is narrow and the melodic movement is gentle, so if you set it to the right key, even men with lower voices can sing it without any trouble.
AyayaMONGOL800×WANIMA
Many of WANIMA’s songs are upbeat and make you want to sing along, but for those who feel “the high notes are tough, so it’s hard to try,” this track is recommended.
Ai yaya, a collaboration between MONGOL800 and WANIMA, features an energetic vibe and straightforward vocal melody, and its range isn’t too wide, making it easy to sing.
The title 愛彌々, which also appears in the lyrics, is read as “aiyaya,” and it’s a real crowd-pleaser that invites easy call-and-response.
The vocal range is comfortable for women as well, so it would be fun for mixed-gender duets too!
makeupMy Hair is Bad
This song, included on the 2019 album “boys,” is a poignant ballad that depicts an unfulfilled romance from a woman’s perspective.
With a range of just over one octave, it’s relatively narrow compared to their other tracks, and its gentle melody set to a slow tempo makes it easy to sing.
However, be mindful that there are high notes using falsetto in the latter half of the chorus and a few other spots.
Because the range is narrow, you can of course adjust the key; for men who struggle with higher registers, lowering the key slightly is recommended.
phantom / illusion / vision / fantasyMy Hair is Bad
This ballad, included on the 2017 album “mothers,” sings about lingering feelings for a past romance.
In the final scene of the song, it depicts getting back together with her, only for the lyrics to reveal it was just a dream—truly heartbreaking.
There aren’t any big leaps in pitch, but the chorus has a distinctive rhythm, so it’s best to practice beforehand to stay on track.
That said, the melody flows at a generally relaxed pace, so many people will likely find it relatively easy to sing.
