Even karaoke beginners can relax! Songs that are easy for men to sing (91–100)

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.

This is the theme song that regularly plays in the Bayside Shakedown (Odoru Daisousasen) film series.

A famous film critic once praised it as “the first Japanese film whose sequel surpassed the excellent original.” With a walking-tempo feel, it’s easy to sing, and anyone who watched the films can hum along as they recall the scenes.

Beyond the Night SkySMAP

This was SMAP’s 27th single, released in January 1998.

It was SMAP’s first million-selling hit, and since then it has been covered by many artists, including self-covers by lyricist Shikao Suga and composer Yuka Kawamura, so the song itself likely needs no introduction.

It’s a very beautiful piece with a gentle, flowing rhythm and a catchy, tender melody.

As it was probably composed with an idol group in mind, the vocal range required isn’t particularly wide, making it a song that many people can sing comfortably.

If possible, try to sing it with a soft, gentle expression throughout.

Glass BoyKinKi Kids

It was released in 1997 as Kinki Kids’ debut single.

The song was created by the golden duo of Takashi Matsumoto (lyrics) and Tatsuro Yamashita (music), debuted at No.

1, became a million-seller, and is also Kinki’s biggest hit.

Its structure is easy to follow and the melody line is natural, so it’s very easy to sing.

One-Sixth Dream TravelerHiguchi Ryōichi

It’s the ending theme of the local TV show “How Do You Like Wednesday?”.

After the over-the-top, suspenseful preview of the next episode during the chaotic journeys of Oizumi and Mister, this refreshing song always plays—it’s a staple.

It perfectly evokes the kind of “travel” that is so them, with a breezy, exhilarating feel, and it’s also great for karaoke.

It’s a song produced for NHK’s program “Minna no Uta,” released as EXILE ATSUSHI’s seventh single in February 2015.

Partly due to ATSUSHI’s distinctive vocal phrasing, many people who aren’t confident singers will probably find it “difficult!!!” Indeed, if you try to sing it exactly like the original, there are plenty of challenging points, such as the phrasing and switching vocal tones.

That said, the tempo is slow and the gentle melody is very pleasant, so it’s definitely a song I’d love for you to try tackling if you can.

You might want to lower the key a little.

This is a handsome duo formed by Tomohisa Yamashita and Kazuya Kamenashi, brought together by co-starring in the drama “Nobuta wo Produce.” The chorus choreography is unique yet easy to imitate, which made it hugely popular especially among high school and college students, and many people still sing and dance to it at karaoke.
