Easy-to-sing, slow-tempo songs. Pay attention to the vocal range and rhythm! (21–30)
Azure RabbitNoriko Sakai
Noriko Sakai, the idol singer affectionately known as Nori-P.
Despite past scandals, her cute songs are still loved by people of her generation.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is Aoi Usagi (Blue Rabbit).
This song spans a fairly wide vocal range from mid1 A to high C, but since the highest note is only a high C, the high phrases aren’t particularly hard to sing.
Considering when it was released, it’s likely to be sung by those who’ve gained some years since then, so you may find that even the lower phrases, including the lowest notes, are easier to produce than you might expect.
CANDYMr.Children
Mr.Children’s classic song “CANDY,” included on the acclaimed 2005 album “I♡U.” This piece is characterized by a fairly wide vocal range of mid1 C# to hi B, with the highest chest note at hi A.
Although that note doesn’t appear often, it comes up once in each pre-modulation chorus, so before singing, be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing and conscious breath control.
If you’re confident in your upper range, it might be interesting to challenge yourself by singing the post-modulation hi B not in falsetto but with a mixed voice.
Easy-to-sing, slow-tempo songs. Pay attention to the vocal range and rhythm too! (31–40)
HitotsuboshiKOH⁺
KOH+ is a musical duo formed by Kou Shibasaki and Masaharu Fukuyama, both of whom are active as musicians and actors.
The song Hitotsuboshi, included on the mini-album Hitotsuboshi ~Galileo Collection 2007–2022~ released on September 14, 2022, was chosen as the theme song for the film Silent Parade.
With its narrow vocal range and gently flowing melody, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a grand ballad that invites you to sing while imagining the story of the movie.
My WishAI
This is a ballad themed around “wishes” and “prayers,” and it serves as the image song for the film Hanamanma, released during Golden Week in 2025.
The overall key isn’t high, so it’s easy for women to sing in the original key.
Around the final chorus, the singing style shifts with a melody-like arrangement, so please practice that part by listening to the song multiple times.
You’ll likely feel very refreshed when you can sing it well! Also, since the tempo is slow, the pauses are very important.
You can breathe sufficiently, so if you place each phrase carefully without rushing, the tempo won’t run.
It feels great to sing when you immerse yourself in the song’s world, so cherish the lyrics as you sing.
Slow & EasyHirai Dai
With its soothing acoustic sound and warm vocals, this song whisks listeners away to a tropical beach.
It’s a track from Dai Hirai’s May 2015 album “Slow & Easy,” carrying a message of breaking free from the busyness of everyday life and taking it slow to enjoy living.
It was also used as the theme song for Sumitomo Forestry’s “Sakimachi Arai-Minami Sustaina Town” commercial and chosen as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “BREAK OUT.” Blending elements of Hawaiian music and reggae, its refreshing melody is perfect not only for road trips while traveling but also for relaxing moments in daily life.
pure whiteFuji Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s new song “Masshiro.” When you think of Fujii Kaze, you probably picture tracks rooted in R&B, right? That style can make his music feel a bit challenging to some listeners, but this release is different.
It forgoes elements of Black music like R&B and instead features an airy, dream-pop-like vocal line throughout.
As a result, it’s one of the easiest songs to sing in his catalog.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
HabitSEKAI NO OWARI
A song with a mysterious vibe and a catchy melody delivers a message that confronts people’s preconceived notions and habits.
With simple, memorable phrases and an addictive sound, it’s sure to get everyone excited at school events or karaoke.
Released by SEKAI NO OWARI in June 2022, this track is the theme song for the film “HOLiC xxxHOLiC.” The work won the 64th Japan Record Award in the same year and was also performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
A highlight is the unique dance performance by the members dressed as a teacher and a janitor.
Even those who tend to get nervous at karaoke can sing this one with confidence thanks to its relaxed tempo and a melody line that doesn’t require too wide a vocal range.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced a bunch of slow-tempo, easy-to-sing songs all at once. Songs with a relaxed tempo are generally easier to sing because you can check your pitch and rhythm as you go.
