While there isn’t a large range in pitch, the melody is structured like spoken language, so practice capturing that nuance.

Carried by the soothing sound of acoustic guitars, it gently sings of hidden tears and the journey continued despite uncertainty.

It topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and since its release in July 2004, it has continued to warm the hearts of many.

With a leisurely melody, the song has a comfortable vocal range and is easy to sing at karaoke.

It’s a heartwarming message song that stands beside those who work hard every day, those who face difficulties, and those about to take a new step in life—why not give it a try?

Eternally With You, a song beloved as a wedding classic, was released in 2004 as a double A-side single along with Million Films.

The song was written by Kentaro Kobuchi for a friend’s wedding.

Its simple, easy-to-remember melody makes it very singable, so even those who aren’t confident at karaoke can give it a try.

The harmony part isn’t too difficult either, so it could be great to practice as a duo and perform as a wedding reception entertainment.

This is Southern All Stars’ fourth digital-only single, released in July 2023.

The slightly bouncy beat leaves quite an impression.

The vocal melody doesn’t span a wide range, making it easy to hum along and enjoy, so it’s recommended for those who prioritize singability.

However, be careful not to sing the lyrics too flatly.

With a strong sense of rhythm, you’ll be able to sing this song more freely and enjoyably.

For those who like impersonations, trying a Kuwata-style vocal could be another fun twist.

Blow away your daily stress with this one track and put it to use for your well-being.

The vocal melody is very simple and the vocal range used isn’t very wide, so I can confidently recommend it as a very easy song for anyone to sing! Ride the uptempo beat and have fun belting it out!

Masaki Suda – It’s Okay, Surely (Iin da yo, Kitto) cross-edit ver.
It’s okay, I’m sure.Suda Masaki

This song, with lyrics that feel like Masaki Suda is speaking to a young boy, really sparks your imagination of that scene.

If you’re singing it at karaoke, why not become the protagonist yourself and try singing as if you’re talking to a boy younger than you, conveying your feelings? Overall, the vocal range isn’t wide and there aren’t any notably high parts.

The medium tempo also makes it easy to sing.

Although it’s an album track and not very well-known, it’s a highly recommended number that’s very easy to sing among Masaki Suda’s songs.
