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!

Men (91–100)

Since the song starts abruptly without an intro, make sure to articulate the opening words clearly and come in without hesitation! The overall vocal range of “Shujinkou” is D#3–G#4, so it should be easy to sing for lower-voiced women once you grasp the key points.

In the chorus, when you count the rhythm in 4/4, the accents fall on beats 1 and 3.

For example, while listening to the song, try clapping while saying “1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4.” Once you get used to it, try clapping more strongly on “1.” If the timing feels natural and easy to clap, that’s the accent.

That sensation is what you want—so when you sing, make sure to project your voice on those accented parts! Let’s use our bodies like this and have fun singing!

Caffeine Remix feat.DeuAkiyama Kiiro

Singer-songwriter Kiro Akiyama, known for his wide-ranging musicality.

There was a period when he stayed out of the spotlight due to his arrest, but since his comeback he has continued to release stylish, high-quality tracks.

Among his songs, one I especially recommend as easy to sing without changing the key is Caffeine Remix feat.

Deu.

While the vocal range is somewhat broad, there’s no falsetto, so it should be manageable for men with an average vocal range.

The melody has a slightly K-pop feel, making it a good pick for fans of boy groups as well.

Yuma, who is active as the “good singer” of the YouTuber group Comdot, has a song called Jingle that my students often sang when their throats weren’t in great condition, saying, “It’s easy to sing!” The vocal range of Jingle is B2–D#4, staying mostly in the low to mid range.

Of course, it builds from verse A to verse B to the chorus, but unlike other songs, the range doesn’t change that much, so it might be easier to keep pitch.

It’s a perfect song for winter, so give it a try in your practice!

Lost itemKitanitatsuya

Compared to his high notes, Tatsuya Kitani gives a stronger impression with his lower range, doesn’t he? He has a signature song called “Ao no Sumika,” but in fact, the new song “Nakushimono” has a narrower range and might be easier for low-voice male singers to sing in chest voice.

There are a few higher parts in the chorus, but falsetto works just fine there.

Just note that the last chorus modulates and goes up by a whole step.

If you can get through that section when you sing, you’ll be golden—so add some momentum and let your voice out!

Sunny-Side Up feat. GADORO & ARARESPICY CHOCOLATE

Sunny-Side Up feat. GADORO & ARARESPICY CHOCOLATE

One of the most prominent sound systems in Japan, SPICY CHOCOLATE.

The catchy compositions by KATSUYUKI a.k.a.

DJ CONTROLER never fail to grab your heart and won’t let go.

Their collaboration with rapper GADORO and ARARE—who’s been gaining momentum after appearing in MC battles—is this track, “Fried Egg feat.

GADORO & ARARE.” It has a Heisei-era reggae-pop vibe, and both the rap and vocal parts, sung comfortably within a steady range, are extremely catchy.

Since there are no high-register sections, it’s easy to sing not only for men but also for women.

Skeletonize!sutoreitenaa

Straightener is a band that continues to attract fans with its catchy musicality.

It’s rare to see a group maintain such broad, long-lasting appeal while staying firmly rooted in rock.

Among their songs, a particularly singable one—without needing to change the key—is Skeletonize! Only the very end of the chorus goes slightly high, but it’s still far from falsetto range, so most men should be able to sing it.

If you want it to sound even better, try adding as much shout as you can.

In the midst of the trivialHoshino Gen

Gen Hoshino – In the Useless (Live at Osaka-jō Hall 2016)
In the midst of the trivialHoshino Gen

A classic song about the “love” that quietly exists in everyday life.

Released in 2011, it’s Gen Hoshino’s first single.

There’s a brief part that goes into a higher register, but otherwise it’s sung mostly in a natural chest voice, making it easy to perform.

The lyrics—one of Gen Hoshino’s hallmarks—brilliantly convey the happiness and love found in ordinary, casual conversations, so try to sing it in a way that preserves that worldview.

Even without trying to sing perfectly, it will likely touch the hearts of those who listen.
