Please forget it.Yorushika
Yorushika’s classic “Please Forget.” Yorushika boasts a wide musical range, but isn’t it their ennui-tinged tracks where their charm truly shines? This song lets you fully savor that moody Yorushika sound.
Unlike the arrangement, which uses silence effectively, the vocal line is crafted quite simply.
Since the overall melody sits in the low-to-mid range, even women who can’t hit high notes should be able to sing it comfortably in the original key.
YONA YONA DANCEWada Akiko
Liven up karaoke with this dance-rock tune that makes your body move on its own! It’s a 2021 collaboration between veteran singer Akiko Wada—who’s also active as a variety show host—and the rock band Frederic.
The snappy rhythm and soulful vocals fit together perfectly, and listening to it makes you want to sing along yourself.
Unusually for a song sung by a woman, it’s easy to tackle in a male chest voice, too.
It also seems perfect for everyone who came to karaoke together to sing as a group!
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo
It’s Yo Hitoto’s fifth single overall, released in February 2004.
It’s a very beautiful ballad and one of her signature songs, so I imagine many people have heard it at least once.
The vocal melody doesn’t span an especially wide range, so with a key adjustment, many singers should be able to perform it comfortably.
I think that’s one reason why the song has continued to be loved years after its release.
If you aim to sing it precisely, it does demand various techniques and a sense for vocal expression, but because the range itself isn’t too demanding, it’s also an ideal piece to practice and develop those skills.
LOOPKamishiraishi Mone
A digital-only single by Mone Kamishiraishi, released in December 2023.
It was produced as the theme song for the special drama “Jitenshinagara Kōten Suru,” which aired on Yomiuri TV and Nippon TV in December 2023.
The song is very gentle, with a warm, laid-back mood throughout, so even singers without a wide vocal range should be able to choose it for karaoke and sing it comfortably.
If the singing becomes forceful, it can ruin the song’s atmosphere, so try to maintain a soft touch from start to finish.
Aim to sing as if you’re slowly and softly exhaling, and try to place the voice broadly inside your mouth; doing so should help you achieve a pleasant sound.
Give it a try.
SoupFujihara Sakura
This is Sakura Fujiwara’s debut single, released in June 2016.
Incidentally, the lyrics, composition, and production were handled by Masaharu Fukuyama.
The vocal melody doesn’t use extremely low or high notes throughout the song, so it might be an ideal karaoke choice for women who feel hesitant about singing due to a limited vocal range.
The song maintains a relaxed, heartwarming mood from start to finish, so while keeping a slightly bouncy groove, be careful not to rush the vocals or make the pronunciation of the lyrics sound rough.
It seems there’s also a version sung by Masaharu Fukuyama, who produced the track, so it could be helpful to check that out as a reference.
OmakaseATARASHII GAKKO!
With their eccentric style, the idol group Atarashii Gakko! has garnered popularity not only in Japan but around the world.
Their signature sound blends hip-hop with kayōkyoku (Japanese pop), producing songs that feel retro yet innovative, and each release becomes a hit.
Their new track, Omakase, continues this trend.
This song leans especially strongly into kayōkyoku elements, resulting in a vocal line that’s easy for Japanese listeners to sing.
The rap sections don’t feature particularly tricky flows either, so you should be able to sing it comfortably in the original key.
Are you serious? (Prod. Chaki Zulu)Awich
The drama Queen of Villains, currently a hot topic on Netflix.
Awich’s Are you serious? (Prod.
Chaki Zulu) was released as the show’s main theme song.
The track is a hip-hop number with a gangsta-rap vibe.
The flow is simple, and since there’s no sung vocal part, anyone familiar with rapping can smoothly perform it in the original key.
The English sections are a bit tricky, but try emphasizing the R sound and similar techniques to work through them.
