Motohiro Hata – “Himawari no Yakusoku” Music Video

It became famous as the theme song for the animated movie ‘Stand By Me Doraemon.’ It’s easy to sing not only for men but also for women, so it’s great for karaoke.

Many people have seen the movie, and the song’s lyrics and composition are so good that it doesn’t feel like a typical anime theme, making it popular across a wide range of age groups.

Remioromen – March 9

Familiar at milestone celebrations like graduations and weddings, “March 9th” is a song released by Remioromen in 2005.

Every line of its lyrics is beautiful, the melody carries a touch of poignancy, and the moderately uplifting band sound—everything meshes perfectly to make it a timeless classic.

In fact, this is a song that still works great even for those who “can’t hit high notes”! The vocal range used in this song is narrower than in many others and is composed mainly in the lower register, so you can sing it stylishly without resorting to high tones.

If it feels too low, try changing the key! Sing it in the range that suits you best, and a high karaoke score won’t just be a dream!

Yuuri “Kakurenbo” Official Music Video

This is one of Yuuri’s signature songs and the track that triggered his big breakthrough.

Many listeners were deeply moved by the lyrics depicting a bittersweet breakup between a man and a woman.

It’s also a great choice for men who aren’t confident singers.

The melody sits relatively low, doesn’t span a wide range, and has minimal pitch movement, making it easier to sing.

That said, Yuuri himself switches skillfully between chest voice and falsetto to vividly convey the poignant story in the lyrics.

In other words, this song is easy for beginners to sing, yet can be explored in depth if you aim to express the lyrical world, making it a recommended piece for everyone from beginners to advanced singers.

Kobukuro “Sakura”

One of Kobukuro’s signature numbers, “Sakura,” is hugely popular as a cherry blossom song and is often sung at karaoke.

After their major-label debut, it was released as a single in 2005 and was also chosen as the theme song for the drama “Ns’ Aoi,” but it had already been included on their 2000 indie album “Root of my mind.” The melody is simple and easy to remember, and the tempo is relaxed, making it approachable even for those not used to singing.

The harmony line isn’t very difficult either, so it’s also recommended for two people to give harmonizing a try together!

[Ado] Sunflower

This is Ado’s 21st single in total, released in July 2023.

It was selected as the theme song for TBS’s Tuesday drama “18/40: With Two, Dreams and Love.” The track carries a gentle mood that conjures up scenes of peaceful summer days just by listening.

In this song, Ado showcases wonderful vocal expression by deftly switching among various vocal timbres, but I don’t think the melody itself is particularly complex, so even those who don’t sing often can easily choose it for karaoke.

If you emphasize the contrast between the softly, calmly sung parts and the powerful sections, it should sound really good—so give it a try.

It’s also excellent as a practice piece for acquiring a range of vocal techniques, making it a recommended choice for anyone looking to level up their singing.
