Recommended easy-to-sing karaoke. Popular band rankings [2026]

Karaoke isn’t just with friends—you often go with various groups, like mixers or company drinking parties.

When you’re with friends, you can sing whatever you like, but when that’s not the case, it’s often hard to decide what to sing.

So here, we’ll introduce popular bands you should consider singing in those situations, ranked for your convenience.

It became a huge hit with the film Your Name, and I also discovered RADWIMPS through this song.

Its driving rock sound and lyrics depicting a “fateful encounter” are iconic; alongside the film’s explosive success, it became a social phenomenon, and the moment the intro plays, the atmosphere instantly brightens—an absolute crowd-pleaser.

The overall vocal range is F#3–F#4, which I think is comfortable for male singers.

In the verse (A-melo), sing as if you’re speaking, phrase by phrase, and in the pre-chorus (B-melo), make sure to ride the drums firmly.

Since the chorus sustains higher notes, be careful not to force it; try lifting your eyebrows and aim your voice into the distance to avoid pushing.

It’s the opening theme from the anime “Naruto Shippuden,” hugely popular among teenage boys! It’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke! When you sing it, focus on the key points: keep a solid sense of tempo, feel the occasional bouncy rhythms, and pay attention to the falsetto in the chorus.

With fast-tempo band songs, it’s easy to get excited and speed up as you sing.

Try not to sway your body too much—stay centered so you can maintain a steady rhythm.

For the bouncy rhythm, lightly use your knees to move up and down and you’ll nail the timing.

Make sure your falsetto resonates in your head voice! Overall, I recommend singing lightly with a bright, heady resonance.

RAINSEKAI NO OWARI10rank/position

RAINSEKAI NO OWARI

Released in July 2017, it was the theme song for the film “Mary and The Witch’s Flower”! I think it’s a SEKAOWA-style ballad with a gentle, swaying feel.

The overall vocal range is D#3–F#4, which isn’t too high, so I recommend singing in a calm, storytelling manner.

If you use diaphragmatic breathing, take in plenty of air, and push a block of breath forward as you sing, it should give a gentle impression.

The trick is to let your voice out slowly! For the higher notes, make your voice a bit sharper and release it quickly to make it easier to hit the pitch.

Try singing as if you’re imitating Fukase.

DOES – Overcast Sky / THE FIRST TAKE

Released on June 18, 2008, it’s the fifth opening theme song for the TV anime Gintama.

At just three minutes long and with a repeating melody, it’s extremely easy to remember.

I think it’ll be a big hit with fans of anime songs, rock, and bands! The vocal range is C3–F4, which is comfortably within the range for many male singers.

If you’re good with high notes, you might find it a bit lacking, so try raising the key when you sing! By the way, songs with a narrow range that are easy to sing can sometimes feel a bit dull and less enjoyable.

In those cases, try adding exaggerated dynamics to each phrase, emphasizing the initial accents, or making small tweaks to build excitement.

If you avoid sounding too flat and learn to sing it with a pleasant flow, you’ll enjoy it even more!

Mr.Children is a band that arguably the Heisei generation listened to the most.

Whether you’re in your 30s born in the Showa era or in your 30s born in the Heisei era, you’ve probably sung one of their songs at least once.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is HANABI.

It features a chorus full of excitement, yet the pitch movement is relatively steady, so you can sing it at an after-party karaoke without pushing yourself too hard.

However, it does include quite a few low G-sharp notes, so a certain depth in vocal range is required.

March 9Remioromen13rank/position

A classic that continues to be widely sung as a graduation and wedding song.

The overall vocal range is C3–G4, making it popular as an “easy-to-sing for men” track.

The tempo is relaxed, so you can take solid breaths and prepare while producing your voice comfortably.

Up to the chorus, the melody stays in the lower range, so trace the pitches carefully.

In the chorus the range rises, and if you’re not used to it, you might tense up.

Take a good breath on the beat before the chorus, then release it all at once!

Saucy Dog’s “Imasara datte boku wa iu kana” captures youthful emotion without holding back, making it a perfect song for teenage girls who want to linger in the afterglow of a bittersweet love.

This track, which resonated widely on TikTok, features Saucy Dog’s signature delicate melodies and Shinya Ishihara’s emotional vocals.

Its universal theme of heartbreak turns it into a ballad that shines with any singing voice.

Whether at karaoke with friends or during a quiet moment alone, why not let yourself sink into its deep feelings?
