Even karaoke beginners can relax! Easy-to-sing songs for men

POP STARHirai Ken

Ken Hirai – POP STAR @ Ken’s Bar 2011

This is Ken Hirai’s 23rd single, released in October 2005.

Since Ken Hirai is known for his exceptional vocal ability, many people might wonder, “Is it really easy to sing?” But the song itself is an upbeat, catchy, and simple track, which makes it very easy for anyone to sing.

The melody in the chorus is also very straightforward and easy to memorize, so there’s nothing to be intimidated by there.

However, if you want to sing it in the original key like he does, you’ll need to switch properly between chest voice, falsetto, and mixed voice, so please pay close attention to your key setting.

The overall vocal range used in the song isn’t very wide, so as long as you do a proper key check in advance, you should be fine.

Also, if you’re not confident, feel free to skip the ad-lib sections—the parts without lyrics where he goes “Uh~~,” and so on.

Ruby RingTerao Akira

Ruby No Yubiwa

It was Akira Terao’s sixth single, released in February 1981.

It was a huge hit that won the 23rd Japan Record Award, so many of you probably remember it.

Compared to today’s songs, pop tunes from that era have very simple melodies without extremely high or low notes, which makes them easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.

In particular, this song is sung in a calm, understated manner throughout the entire track, which is another point in its favor.

Expressing a song fully while singing in such a subdued way can actually be quite difficult—but let’s not demand that much of ourselves!

SHERRYHayashida Kenji

Kenji Hayashida – Sherry – ●1991

When it comes to Kenji Hayashida, the strong impression is that he’s someone who has provided songs to many stars.

He has written numerous tracks especially for Johnny’s groups, and they’ve all been hits.

SHERRY was released in 1991 as his own song.

It was a popular track that was often sung at karaoke.

FlowerFuji Kaze

Hana

This is singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze’s 14th digital-only single, released in October 2023.

It was written as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama “The Best-Loved Flower.” The track is striking for its relaxed yet rhythmic piano riff and Fujii’s delightfully laid-back vocals.

The vocal melody isn’t complex, making it easy to hum along and enjoy, so it’s a song I hope many people will casually choose at karaoke.

For the sections in the chorus sung in falsetto, if you’re not confident about switching registers, try lowering the key when you sing at karaoke.

Distance of the Starry SkyTHE ALFEE

Distance of the Starry Sky

As THE ALFEE, this is their 17th single.

It’s said that Takamizawa created this song with the conscious aim of making it “a hit that leads to the next,” and it has become one of their live staples! In later years, versions incorporating orchestral and classical elements were also released, and the ongoing evolution of the arrangement has drawn attention.

Having multiple versions makes it fun to listen, doesn’t it? It’s a band-rock track with a cool guitar right from the intro, so you’ll probably be hyped up and ready to deliver great vocals even before you start singing! The vocal range isn’t that high, so many men should find it easy to sing.

If you open your throat and project your voice as if sending it far, you’ll likely find it very comfortable to sing.

Reguluskururi

Regulus

This is a single released on October 10, 2025, available exclusively for download and streaming.

For this ‘Regulus,’ Ayaka Tatono from Homecomings participates as a guest vocalist.

It’s been described as having a mood that suits the season from autumn into winter, with a theme that gently supports “the courage to take on challenges” and “dreams that haven’t faded yet.” The distinctive “myooon” sound at the start is very Kururi-like, isn’t it? (laughs) The overall range isn’t very high, so there’s no need to belt out high notes.

If possible, it would be great to sing it as a male–female pair! In that case, if both of you sing quietly, it will match the atmosphere of the song well.

You pure motherfuckersKishidan

Kishidan / Immaculate Bastards

As a CD single from Kishidan, this is their first new track in an incredible 5 years and 8 months.

Written by Show Ayanokoji, it serves as the theme song for the drama “Donketsu,” airing from April 25, 2025! It’s a hot, rough-and-ready rock band sound that’s quintessentially Kishidan and perfectly matches the yakuza-themed world of the drama.

The melody line is very straightforward, and with the same chorus melody recurring, it shouldn’t be hard to memorize.

Also, as you’d expect from a Kishidan song, the vocal range isn’t too high, making it comfortable for male singers.

It sounds coolest when you sing with a clenched-fist, power-through vibe! Just be careful to keep your throat relaxed and not tense up.

Using gestures helps you naturally loosen up and makes it easier to sing.

Be sure to learn the choreography and have fun singing along!
