Easy-to-sing, slow-tempo songs. Pay attention to the vocal range and rhythm! (21–30)
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.
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.
Easy-to-sing, slow-tempo songs. Pay attention to the vocal range and rhythm too! (31–40)
Capsuleaiko
Compared to aiko’s other songs, “Capsule” is characterized by a melody that doesn’t move much, making it a song where you can follow the tune straightforwardly.
It seems that aiko herself has commented to that effect.
As you listen, the sections sung softly in head voice at the beginning gradually shift to an emotional chest voice toward the latter half.
In the first half, it might be good to relax and sing gently and lightly.
Also, the very end of this song features a long sustained note.
It’s the moment when the emotion is at its peak, so it’s a part I’d love for you to sing comfortably in chest voice.
The sustained vowel is “o.” Since “o” makes it easy to open the throat and pronounce, there shouldn’t be any problem as long as you take a good breath and prepare before you start singing.
Send the breath flying far into the distance!
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.
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.
