Karaoke songs you can enjoy singing in your natural voice without changing the key

One of the best things about enjoying karaoke is being able to sing out loud in your natural voice, right? But there are plenty of songs with keys that are too high to sing, or that can hurt your throat if you force them.

To solve those problems, this article introduces a wide range of songs you can sing comfortably in your natural voice! Whether you’re male or female, these are songs you can enjoy singing in the original key and finish feeling great, so be sure to use this as a reference when choosing your next karaoke songs!

Male (71–80)

EXILEmichi

It’s a classic EXILE-style ballad! I’ve sung EXILE songs live myself, and as a woman I was really surprised at how low the range is.

Even raising the key by two semitones still felt low, so I think EXILE’s songs really have a distinctly male vocal range.

Michi, with its relaxed tempo, spans B2–A4, and the chest-voice section in the bridge (C-melody) feels a bit high.

That said, as with any song, if you’re aiming for a high karaoke score, using falsetto will definitely help you stay on pitch.

Please sing it in whichever way you prefer.

The key points are: sing carefully overall to match pitch, take breaths at each phrase, and be mindful of pitch tendencies at the ends of phrases.

If you focus on these three, you can absolutely aim for a perfect 100! As you keep practicing, it’s also a song where expressiveness tends to add points, so give it a try!

Enfants are one of the most talked-about bands in today’s Japanese rock scene.

Their hallmark is a genuine sound that’s catchy yet evocative of the UK rock scene.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing without changing the key is Kid Blue.

Its alternative sound is appealing, and the vocal range stays mostly in the mid to mid-high register throughout.

If a male vocalist with a raspy voice—like Enfants—sings it, it becomes even more compelling.

LET ME KNOW is a three-piece rock band with a husky vocal tone and a distinctly ’80s musical vibe.

Their “pleasantly old-school” sound, delivered by three members with idol-worthy looks, is truly impressive.

Among LET ME KNOW’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Hatsu na feeling.

It’s a track that employs ’80s-style synthesizers throughout and sits in the mid to upper-mid vocal range.

If you want to sing with a soaring delivery in the original key, this is a must-hear!

Male (81–90)

The track “Nounai Mayaku Remix feat.

CHEHON, MAKA, Kujun, POWER WAVE, CIMA & keith” is currently blowing up in the hip-hop and reggae scenes.

Born from DJ RAY’s entry into the battle scene, it features verses that transcend the boundaries between hip-hop and reggae.

The hook in this piece has a very narrow vocal range by RAY’s standards, so many people should be able to sing it comfortably in the original key.

Heads, be sure to add it to your repertoire.

BFFMrs. GREEN APPLE

The performance style of “BFF” features only the three members of Mrs.

Green Apple, with no supporting instruments.

It’s a clean and simple ballad, where each sound stands out.

The vocal range is C3 to D5, with C#4 used frequently throughout the song.

The first note of the A melody is the lowest pitch, which might be tricky to intonate.

For low notes, focus on “releasing the voice slowly” rather than “pushing it out strongly.” If you lift your facial muscles and place the sound as if it’s right in front of you, your low notes will resonate well.

By the way, when singing, it’s generally ideal to keep your facial muscles lifted the whole time.

I always tell my students this, and since Omori does it often, be sure to watch and take note! Also, there’s humming in the song, so definitely give it a try.

If you can hum lightly, the singing will feel easier!

Craft feat. ZORNKREVA

How about amping yourself up by delivering some slick hip-hop with precision? It’s a collaboration between rappers KREVA and ZORN, included on KREVA’s ninth album, “LOOP END / LOOP START,” released in 2021.

The passionate flow is electrifying! And the lyrics—filled with a strong will to keep moving toward your dreams—are genuinely encouraging.

The vocal range should be approachable for most male singers.

LullabyMiura Daichi

For men who struggle with high notes, I recommend the song “Lullaby.” It was released in 2010 by Daichi Miura, a dancer who delivers overwhelming performances to his audiences.

Its slow tempo and dramatic melody line are deeply moving.

The song stays in a lower key throughout, so you can tackle it using only chest voice.

Memorize the lyrics, which blend Japanese and English, and sing it coolly! Why not show off this number—full of mature charm—at karaoke?
