We’ve selected many songs with simple melodies and rhythms that are easy to remember, so please use this as a reference!

Even karaoke beginners can relax! Songs that are easy for men to sing (261–270)

waxing; filling up; becoming full; growing (e.g., the moon growing fuller)Fuji Kaze

Fujii Kaze’s new song “Michiteyuku.” Since his music is mostly rooted in R&B, to be frank, his songs tend to be on the difficult side.

However, this work is relatively easy among his catalog, featuring a relaxed tempo throughout and a comparatively narrow vocal range for his music.

The use of runs and ad-libs—techniques characteristic of R&B—is mostly on the easier side as well, making it a good recommendation for those looking for singable songs in R&B or Black music.

This is Porno Graffitti’s sixth single overall, released on June 27, 2001.

The Latin-style rhythm and vocal melody make a very striking impression.

That said, the vocal range used isn’t particularly wide, and the phrases are very easy to remember, so it’s a song that just about anyone can casually hum along to.

If possible, sing it in a key that lets you project a bright, resonant tone, and keep the rhythm light so it doesn’t become flat.

A seven-member male idol group, THE SUPER FRUIT, released this as their debut single in August 2022.

With an easy-to-sing vocal melody and tempo, it feels like a classic, straight-down-the-line idol song.

There’s no need to overthink the difficulty when singing this at karaoke! Just let your voice out comfortably, ride the rhythm, and have fun.

If you even copy and learn their choreography and everyone there sings along together, you’ll definitely enjoy it even more!

Popular YouTubers, Comdot.

There was a time when their subscriber count plummeted due to controversies, but lately they’ve been gradually regaining their former numbers.

They’re also active as artists.

Among their songs, “Dear Us” is one I especially recommend.

Crafted with a classic J-pop feel, it’s a catchy piece that’s exceptionally easy to sing in every section.

The vocal range is narrow and there aren’t many long sustained notes, so definitely give it a try.

Karaoke Beginners Welcome! Easy-to-Sing Songs for Men (271–280)

ChampionArisu

This is the 14th single by the Japanese folk/new music group Alice, released in December 1978.

It was a massive hit that reached No.

1 on the Oricon charts at the time, and it unfolds a story—set to a pleasant melody—about a boxing champion being defeated by a younger fighter.

Despite its dramatic content, the vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range, and compared with contemporary songs, the melodic line itself is very simple, easy to remember, and easy to hum.

So even those who aren’t confident singers can likely pick it at karaoke and enjoy it without worry.

The harmonies by Tanimura and Horiuchi aren’t very complex either, so it could be fun for two people to sing in harmony together.

Don’t look away, Eyes [DEEN] hitomi sorasanaide
Don't avert your eyes.DEEN

This is DEEN’s fifth single overall, released on June 22, 1994.

It was used as the theme song for Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Pocari Sweat commercial.

Not just for this song, but in the ’90s the music industry placed great importance on how well songs would be sung in the karaoke market, so tracks released in that era are a treasure trove of karaoke-friendly tunes.

This song is no exception: from its very memorable and easy-to-sing chorus melody to the rest of the track, it’s packed with melodies that are easy to hum along to.

The key isn’t very high either, so even men who struggle with high notes might be able to sing it in the original key.

When you actually sing it, just be careful not to drag the rhythm or make it too flat.

A Good Day to Set Out on a JourneyTanimura Shinji

This is the 41st single by Shinji Tanimura, who sadly passed away recently (October 2023), released in March 2008.

It’s a self-cover single of a song he originally provided to Momoe Yamaguchi in 1978.

As of November 2023, many people in their 50s and older may remember Yamaguchi’s original version.

It’s a very gentle, mellow piece that, I think, evokes the feeling of a distant journey under open skies.

The vocal lines are easy for anyone to hum along with, so I highly recommend selecting it for karaoke even if you’re not confident in your singing.
