John Lennon’s hit song “Imagine.” Since it’s even featured in school textbooks, I think most people know it, right? I imagine most people associate this song with a calm vibe.

From a vocalist’s perspective, it’s very gentle, with few high notes, making the melody very easy to sing.

The English is super simple too, so I think anyone can sing it.

The falsetto that comes at the end of the chorus might be tricky for some people.

In that case, it’s totally fine to adjust the arrangement.

Originally, it’s a classic Christmas song from the 1960s, first performed by Burl Ives.

Michael Bublé’s version was released in 2011.

It has jazzy elements, making it very stylish and easy to groove to.

At just two minutes long, it’s not hard to learn and feels familiar, so I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to pick up a Christmas tune! Overall, it’s a song that sounds really cool when sung with a relaxed feel and a light touch.

The jazz swing is key—don’t overthink it, let your body catch the groove! The rhythm will naturally fall into place.

I feel like it’s perfect for singing while swaying side to side with a drink in hand.

Try singing it as if you’re humming during a little break!

“I don’t want to do anything today!” We all have days like that, right? This song is the ultimate anthem for lazy days that speaks for that exact feeling.

And the one singing it is Bruno Mars! Unlike his powerful tracks, this one has a laid-back reggae vibe, with hardly any demanding high notes or vibrato.

Just humming along casually somehow makes it sound good.

Released in February 2011, it’s also included on his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans.

Give it a try when you want to relax and enjoy karaoke!

This is a song I’d love for two people to sing in harmony, making skillful use of echo to set the mood.

Its heartrending melody is a perfect showcase of Simon & Garfunkel’s signature style, and the more you sing it, the more you’ll feel the song’s profound depth.

Savor this legendary piece of Western folk music!

“Perfect” is a song by Ed Sheeran, a globally renowned singer-songwriter from the UK.

He has many fans in Japan, and his songs are often sung at karaoke.

Since Ed Sheeran’s popular tracks can overlap with others’ choices, this slightly more niche song is recommended because fewer people are likely to sing it.
