Recommended for women in their 30s! Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even if you're not good at singing

I think there are many people who aren’t good at singing or don’t feel very confident about it.

But if you always turn down or shy away from joining karaoke outings, it might cause issues in your friendships or workplace relationships.

In this article, I’ve gathered songs that seem easier to sing, even for those who usually say things like “I’m not good at singing” or “I’m tone-deaf.”

Since many recent songs have complex melodies, I’ve included quite a few nostalgic tracks from the ’90s and earlier.

If you’re at karaoke with seniors or your bosses, that kind of song selection might actually be a good fit.

Some of the song descriptions include quick tips on how to make them sound good, so feel free to use them as a reference when you sing!

Recommended for women in their 30s! Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even for those who aren’t good at singing (91–100)

Don’t give upZARD

Don't give up (What a beautiful memory ~forever you~)
Don't give upZARD

This is ZARD’s sixth single, released in January 1993.

Coming out during the heyday of 1990s J-Pop, it became ZARD’s first million-selling hit.

Speaking of the ’90s, as of 2021 when this was written, many people in their 30s were still children back then, but surely quite a few of you have heard it.

The song features an extremely memorable vocal melody paired perfectly with striking lyrics, and just humming along can put you in a good mood.

The required vocal range isn’t very wide either, so even those who’ve felt less confident about singing and have been reluctant to go to karaoke can try it and discover the joy of singing.

Fall in Love - Koibito ni Ochite by Akiko Kobayashi

Tomoko Kobayashi’s “Falling in Love” is a song I can sing all the way through without going off-key, even though I’m tone-deaf.

Many people have covered it, and since it’s a classic that people of all generations know, it really gets the crowd going at karaoke.

I love this song because I can sing it without missing notes even with my poor pitch.

Love love loveDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE’s “Love Love Love” seems difficult, but because there are many repetitions, it’s easy to sing and feels like you can get away with being a little off-key.

When I sing this song, the people I’m with say, “You’re good!”

Over DriveJUDY AND MARY

This was JUDY AND MARY’s seventh single, released on June 19, 1995.

It was also used in several commercial tie-ins and as theme songs for TV programs.

Just listening to it makes your body naturally move to the rhythm and puts you in a really fun mood.

Even if you’re not confident about singing, I hope you’ll pick it casually at karaoke and let it lift your spirits.

However, many people may find the high notes a bit tough in the original key, so please be careful with the key settings.

Sing it cutely and have fun!

It’s Takako Matsu’s eighth single, released in September 1999.

The song was also used in a Shiseido “WHITIA” commercial, with Ms.

Matsu herself writing both the lyrics and the music.

Although she is a singer with very strong vocal ability, this particular track has simple melodies and lyrics, making it easy to hum along to and a safe pick for karaoke.

Because the melody is so simple, I think it’ll come out even better if you take time to understand the lyrics and focus on expressive delivery that matches them, rather than just strict accuracy.

Like the flow of a riverMisora Hibari

This is a single by Hibari Misora, released on January 11, 1989.

It was also the last single released during her lifetime.

Needless to say, Hibari Misora was a top-tier singer with remarkable vocal prowess.

That said, not just this song but many so-called “Showa-era kayōkyoku” have simple melodies and rhythms, making them a treasure trove for people who aren’t confident singers looking for karaoke songs.

If you try to replicate Hibari’s vocal expression, the bar becomes very high, but if you simply trace the melody, it’s a fine song you can enjoy casually, even humming along.

For those in their thirties at the time of this writing, it may feel a bit too old-fashioned, but don’t let that stop you—please enjoy it.

Goodbye, my beloved.Hana*Hana

Hana*Hana “Goodbye, My Beloved”
Goodbye, my beloved.Hana*Hana

This was Hanahana’s second major-label single, released on October 25, 2000.

It was also used as the theme song for the TBS Toshiba Sunday Theater drama “Oyaji” that aired in the October 2000 season.

The song is notable for its very gentle, beautiful melody, and its lyrics are likely to resonate especially strongly with women.

Because the melody is familiar and easy to hum without pressure, even people who feel uneasy about singing can enjoy humming along casually.

There are some slightly higher notes in the B section, but I think it will sound better if you adjust the key so you can sing it comfortably in your chest voice without using falsetto, keeping it within a range that’s easy to sing.
