Karaoke Beginners Welcome! Easy-to-Sing Songs for Men (11–20)

freesiaMarushii

Marcy – Freesia (Official Music Video)

Marcy, whose lyrics gently capture everyday happiness and sadness and the emotional swings anyone can relate to, paired with melodies that resonate deeply, enjoys immense popularity especially among younger listeners.

Released in April 2025, “Freesia” is quintessentially their style—a medium-tempo ballad that poignantly sings of a woman lost in the depths of love.

Its melody line is very straightforward without dramatic leaps in pitch, making it an easy song to remember and sing, so it’s one you should definitely try at karaoke.

Kocchinoken, a multi-creator whose household name skyrocketed with the 2024 hit song “Hai Yorokonde,” released a track in May 2025 titled “Sore mo Ii ne,” written specifically as the theme song for the children’s TV program The Wakey Show.

Because it was composed for kids, it’s extremely catchy and easy to remember, with a melody that even those who aren’t confident singers can enjoy singing.

For example, it would surely be a hit at family karaoke when a dad sings it for the children.

Of course, it’s also great for adults to sing together and feel like kids again!

Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki

Masaki Suda “Sayonara Elegy”
Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki

This is the third single overall by Masaki Suda, who is active both as a singer and an actor, released in February 2018.

It was also the theme song for the drama “Kiss that Kills,” in which Suda himself appeared.

The lyrics and composition are by Huwie Ishizaki, known as Suda’s close friend.

You don’t need advanced vocal technique to sing this song.

Like the performer himself, Masaki Suda, sing it through with a passionate voice.

If the high notes in the final chorus feel tough, try lowering the key a little.

Ballad of a SingerSaitō Kazuyoshi

Kazuyoshi Saito – Ballad of a Singer [Live ver.]
Ballad of a SingerSaitō Kazuyoshi

Released in November 1997, this is Kazuyoshi Saito’s 15th single.

True to Saito’s appeal for distinctly masculine vocals, you don’t need delicate high notes to sing this song.

While the melody does include some relatively high pitches, rather than belting them out smoothly, slightly strained highs will likely make the song more expressive.

So instead of someone who excels at high notes, it might actually suit a singer who’s a bit less comfortable up there and can deliver them with a forceful, pushed quality.

Just be careful not to let your voice crack from overexertion.

Romantic Flightkome kome CLUB

Kome Kome Club – Roman Hikō (All Night Fuji 1987)
Romantic Flightkome kome CLUB

Kome Kome Club’s 10th single, released in April 1990.

While Carl Smoky Ishii is fairly well regarded for his vocal ability, his vocal range here stays within a range that an average male singer can comfortably cover.

The melody, characteristic of songs from that era, isn’t particularly difficult either, so singing this song at karaoke shouldn’t be too hard.

If you support your voice solidly from your diaphragm so the low–mid tones don’t get buried in the accompaniment, you’re sure to earn the respect of those around you.

cherrysupittsu

Spitz’s 13th single, released in April 1996.

As a song from the golden age of J-pop—when trends in the karaoke market were just as crucial as CD sales—it’s easy to sing, easy to remember, and poppy, covering all the elements that made a hit at the time.

Because of that, I think it’s also very approachable for people who aren’t confident singers.

When you sing it, just be careful about the key setting.

If you let your guard down, there’s a real risk of your voice cracking on the high notes!

cherry blossomKobukuro

Kobukuro’s 12th single, released in November 2005.

It won the Gold Prize (now the Excellence Award) at the 47th Japan Record Awards, and from March 18, 2007 to March 1, 2010, it was used as the arrival chime at JR Nishi-Nihon’s Tokaido Main Line (JR Kobe Line) Sakura Shukugawa Station.

It has also been included in high school Japanese language textbooks.

Since it was later used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Ns’ Aoi,” many of you may have heard it.

Compared to hit songs from the Showa era, its melodic development has a somewhat ‘modern complexity,’ yet it’s a track whose striking and catchy chorus really sticks in your ears.

Choose a key that lets you sing with as much brightness and resonance as you can without straining, and give it a try.
