Christmas EveYamashita Tatsuro
Tatsuro Yamashita’s 12th single, released in December 1983—though thanks to its huge popularity and its status as a Christmas-season staple—has been re-released in multiple remade versions since its initial release.
I imagine hardly anyone reading this article isn’t familiar with the song.
As Yamashita himself has noted, the tune uses the so-called “canon progression” for its chord sequence, making it very straightforward, simple, and easy to remember.
The vocal melody doesn’t venture into extreme highs or lows, so it’s easy for anyone to sing—truly a quintessential “standard song.” It might be fun for everyone to imitate and try the choral section in the middle together.
It’s such a classic that it feels silly for me to lecture you on the details at this point, so just enjoy it without overthinking!

Goodbye, Humanitytama
The debut single of the Japanese band Tama, released in May 1990.
It’s a very comical and fun song, so there’s absolutely no need to feel self-conscious about your singing when performing it.
If you simply enjoy “singing” and “using your voice” in line with the song’s warm and easygoing vibe, you’ve already won! I think it’s widely regarded as a so-called “novelty song,” so don’t sweat the small stuff—just have fun! Of course, as a piece of music it’s very well crafted, but for something like karaoke with friends, there’s no need to worry about it that much.
Theory of the Mindful HeartRADWIMPS
RADWIMPS’ seventh single overall and their fourth since their major-label debut, released in July 2006.
When singing this at karaoke, the key will be whether you can smoothly switch from the laid-back vocals in the intro to the energetic singing in the chorus.
Also watch out for the slightly rap-like fast part in the second verse’s A-melody so your tongue doesn’t get tied.
You’ll likely have trouble keeping up if you’re reading the lyrics as you go, so it’s best to memorize them beforehand.
If high notes are tough for you, try lowering the key a little.
Come, come, come.go!go!vanillas
The band go!go!vanillas is highly regarded in the industry for their diverse musicality.
Their roots are broad: while their core is garage and other white music like country, they’re also influenced by funk and R&B, which gives all their works a complex musical character.
“Rai Rai Rai” is one such track.
Although the musicality is complex, the vocal line isn’t that difficult.
There are plenty of key changes, but also many spots to breathe, making it easier to sing than it sounds.
The rough-and-ready style of the song also makes it easier to perform.
Sleeping BeautySEKAI NO OWARI
This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s third major-label single, released in May 2012.
It’s a bright song with an impressive, beautiful string arrangement that makes you feel happy just by listening! The vocal melody is very gentle throughout, so even those who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to sing.
When you actually sing it, try to place the sound so it resonates against your upper palate; that way, your voice will match the song’s sparkling quality.
PrimalORIGINAL LOVE
It’s Original Love’s eighth single, released in 1996.
It was originally written as a theme song for a TV drama and became a hit, reaching No.
5 on the Oricon weekly chart.
The lyrics are excellent, and singing it vividly brings the scenes and emotions to life.
PercolationCRAZY KEN BAND
As one of the leading sound creators in the East, Crazy Ken Band keeps releasing stylish tracks that appeal to aficionados.
While many of their songs adapt genres like soul and R&B into enka and kayōkyoku, making them quite challenging, Percolation is different.
It’s a groovy and very stylish piece, but the vocal range isn’t that wide, and the rhythm is easy to feel.
Recommended for men who want to project a mature, sophisticated vibe at karaoke.
