Songs that get the party going at group mixers: A curated selection of easy-to-sing, crowd-pleasing hits and classics! (21–30)

I wanted to see you.AKB48

AKB48’s “Aitakatta” is a classic hype song! If you put it on at karaoke, people around you will likely sing along, so even if you’re tone-deaf, you can sing with confidence.

The song structure isn’t difficult—it repeats the same melody.

I don’t think it’s hard to learn, either.

The vocal range is G3–D5, and the chorus is a bit high, but since it’s an idol song, if you sing with a smile, lifting your facial muscles and projecting clearly, your voice will come out smoothly and you’ll enjoy singing it! The key is to sing out without worrying about pitch.

When it comes to songs that get everyone hyped with SMAP, this one is probably the go-to.

Johnny’s songs tend to be relatively easy to sing and pitch, so they’re suitable even for people who aren’t very confident singers.

They’re catchy too, so they’re likely to go over well with women at group dates.

It’s a classic song for getting everyone hyped at karaoke! The overall range is G#3 to D#5, which is a bit wide, but the high parts are only in a few spots, and most of it sits in the mid range, so I think it’s relatively easy to sing.

A key tip for hitting the high notes is to use strong accents.

For example, when you throw a dart at a target, don’t you aim at the target, take a short approach, and then throw? Do the same when producing your voice: inhale, prepare, build momentum, and then release the sound.

That creates a solid accent and helps your voice come out comfortably.

The high notes only appear in certain parts, but the same melody comes up repeatedly, so be mindful at those moments and really project your voice.

You’ll definitely have fun singing it!

As many times as you likeDREAMS COME TRUE

“Nando Demo” is popular across all generations.

I used to sing it a lot too, and it seems many people are familiar with the chorus, so it always got the crowd going.

It’s definitely a song worth knowing! The tricky part of this song is the breathing during the chorus.

Where the same phrase repeats, you can run out of breath and it gets tough.

Proper diaphragmatic breathing is important, but rather than belting each phrase with full power, try to focus on connecting the lines as you sing.

When you shift your mindset, your body will adjust so your breath lasts through the phrase.

Also, the last chorus is the most demanding; singing it with a powerful voice is more for advanced singers.

Don’t push yourself—start by singing it lightly, and you’ll get used to it little by little.

It’s also a great song for strengthening your chest voice, so give it a try in practice!

Koi-bi and ROMANCEGMU

GMU 15th single “Koibi to ROMANCE”
Koi-bi and ROMANCEGMU

This is the 15th single by GMU, the idol group serving as sightseeing ambassadors for Aomori City.

The song incorporates elements of Baroque music and has a somewhat nostalgic feel.

I think it’s a track that can be performed solo and still sound cool and exciting! Listening from the A melody, it gives the impression of having quite a lot of low notes.

High notes can be easier to hit when you project your voice with energy, but low notes are the opposite: if you use plenty of breath and release your voice slowly, as if right in front of you, it becomes easier to stay on pitch.

There are many tips for this, but the most important is to let a “bundle” of breath out slowly in front of you.

I used to struggle with low notes myself, but as I studied vocal training and experimented, this method made it much easier for me to sing low notes.

Since we don’t often use low voices in daily life, it’s natural not to be accustomed to them.

When you sing, try to keep these tips in mind!

It has a somewhat anime-like vibe, with a refreshing, easy-to-listen phrase that sticks in your head! The tempo is relatively fast, so it might be best to start by memorizing the melody.

When it’s time to sing, as long as you ride the groove properly, you’ll be set! The melody is quite straightforward, so you should get used to the song quickly.

There’s call-and-response in the A section, so if you look at the lyrics from the beginning, you should be able to learn it without getting confused.

Also, for the high notes in the chorus, rather than belting, sing lightly to match the song’s feel—aim to relax while keeping the rhythm with your body.

Since it’s an idol-style song, lifting your facial muscles into a smile will help you relax on its own.

After that, try singing without forcing it, imagining your voice lightly placed forward, around the area in front of your eyebrows!
