Karaoke for Beginners, No Worries! Easy Songs for Men to Sing (71–80)

All of the YouthFujifaburikku

Fuji Fabric’s 10th single, released in November 2007.

The original key might be a bit high for the average male singer, but the melody doesn’t have a lot of ups and downs throughout, and the tempo is a comfortable medium, making it quite singable.

So even men who aren’t very confident in their singing should find it easy to take on.

Just remember to adjust the initial key to suit your vocal range.

To avoid pushing the rhythm ahead, it’s better to sing slightly laid-back rather than rushing—this will make it sound nicer.

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s new song “Bitter Vacation.” Many people think of their songs as featuring lots of high notes and being very difficult.

However, this one is different.

For their catalog, the vocal range is relatively narrow, and the vocal lines aren’t that demanding.

That said, the mid-to-high range still appears as a matter of course, so it may be tough for those who can’t hit higher notes at all.

It goes over well at karaoke, and among Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s songs it’s relatively easy to sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

It was flumpool’s major-label debut single released exclusively via digital distribution in October 2008.

The song ranges from mid- to up-tempo, and its vocal melody is built from comparatively broad phrases, which likely makes it feel the easiest to sing.

Since there isn’t much pitch variation, it’s also one of the best choices for people who don’t usually sing to select at karaoke.

However, because the vocal line is relatively flat, if you sing without being mindful of the rests, there’s a risk it will turn into a very boring performance.

So when you sing it, it’s best to study the song beforehand and pay close attention to the rests.

summer vacationyoshida takurou

One of Takuro Yoshida’s signature songs, it was first released in 1971.

Various versions have been included on albums since then, and it was also remade and released as a single in 1989.

While the arrangements differ across versions, the song’s melody itself is a straightforward Showa-era folk tune.

There’s none of the intricate, elaborate melodic writing you find in modern songs, so even people who don’t usually sing much should find it easy to pick up.

Try singing it in a relaxed, easygoing way.

I’ll walk home.Saitō Kazuyoshi

It was also used as a tie-in on the children’s program Hirake! Ponkikki, so many people who were kids back then probably still remember it somewhere in the back of their minds.

It’s a fun song to sing whether you’re with friends who know it or singing it with your kids.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYback number

This is a song by back number, a band that has released numerous love songs and resonates with many young people.

Aside from a portion of the chorus, the vocal range should be manageable even for men who struggle with high notes.

Plus, since it’s a slow-tempo ballad, you can carefully check each rhythm and pitch as you sing, making it highly recommended!

It’s the coupling track on BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 28th CD single, “SOUVENIR,” released in April 2023.

It was reportedly created for “BUMP OF CHICKEN 18-sai Matsuri,” which aired on NHK General TV on March 31, 2023.

It’s a medium-tempo song with a gentle, memorable melody, and the vocal line is basically very easy to sing and remember, so even people who aren’t confident singers should be able to hum along casually.

However, there’s a section sung a cappella in the latter half of the song, so please be careful to keep the rhythm there.
