HonestyBilly Joel
Honesty is memorable for its incredibly emotional melody.
I think even younger listeners have probably heard the chorus.
You might be thinking, “Isn’t the chorus pretty high?” Actually, not really.
If you try singing it, you’ll see the chorus is surprisingly doable in chest voice.
Honestly, it’s a range that even Oninyako Tsubaki could handle (lol).
I actually find the B-melody before the chorus—where the voltage rises—more challenging than the chorus itself.
That said, the melody is basically simple, so even people who aren’t confident with high notes or who aren’t good at vocal runs can sing it smoothly.
Who SaysJohn Mayer
How about singing a country song to create a relaxed atmosphere? The song I’d like to recommend is called “Who Says.” It’s performed by singer-songwriter John Mayer.
The lyrics talk about regrets in life.
Since the song has a somewhat somber tone, try to convey that feeling as well.
The tempo is gentle, so even those who aren’t confident in their English pronunciation should find it easy to try.
Until I Found YouStephen Sanchez
There are times, like on a karaoke date, when you want to sing a sweet love song.
However, the ballads that are easy to sing are often sad in content.
That’s why I’d like to recommend Stephen Sanchez’s “Until I Found You.” Released in 2021 and a hit on TikTok, the song has a retro vibe reminiscent of the 1980s.
Because of that, it should be perfect for a wide range of generations.

Hotel CaliforniaThe Eagles
The Eagles’ classic “Hotel California.” Did you think, “Isn’t that hard?” Well, yeah, it’s kind of hard, but depending on the arrangement, it’s actually the kind of song you can sing pretty easily.
That’s because there aren’t many high notes in it.
Plus, it’s a song where you can use edge voice—tightening the throat to produce sound—so it’s super easy to mask imperfections.
Edge voice lets you blur the ends of phrases and transition smoothly into a whispery tone, so it really helps you get away with things.
That said, the difficulty can skyrocket depending on the arrangement, so watch out (lol).
Tears in HeavenEric Clapton
Eric Clapton is a legendary singer known to anyone who loves music.
The song he created in memory of his late son is Tears in Heaven.
It’s a ballad for voice and guitar, with a melancholy tone throughout.
From a karaoke perspective, it doesn’t demand a powerful voice, so even if your English pronunciation isn’t perfect, it’s less likely to be noticeable.
If you can play the guitar, performing it as a sing-along could be a great choice.
Piano ManBilly Joel
Do you know the music genre called piano rock? As the name suggests, it’s rock that features the piano as the main instrument, but compared to traditional rock it often has quieter songs, making them easier to sing.
It’s nice because, while being easy to sing, it still has those exciting, rock-like moments.
My top recommendation is Billy Joel’s “Piano Man.” Its melody incorporates elements of jazz, so singing it will give off a sophisticated impression.
Bridge Over Troubled WaterSimon&Garfunkel
Singing trendy songs is fine, but if there are people who aren’t familiar with Western music, choosing a universally known classic makes it easier for everyone to get excited together.
That’s why I’d like to recommend Bridge over Troubled Water, a folk rock classic.
Released by Simon & Garfunkel in 1970, it has since been covered by many famous artists.
In Japan, it’s also strongly associated with performances on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
The trick is to sing the first half modestly and then maximize your vocal power in the second half.
