Easy-to-sing K-pop that gets the crowd going at karaoke [All songs Japanese versions] (11–20)
Pretty SavageBLACKPINK
BLACKPINK is a girl group that could be called the flagship of YG.
While retaining an idol-like appeal, they place importance on a gritty image, and their stylish musicality is highly regarded not only in Korea but also in Japan and the English-speaking world.
Their 2020 release, Pretty Savage, embodies this approach.
The track has a strong hip-hop character, with the vocal lines unfolding as an extension of rap flow throughout.
As a result, the range is narrow and there are no complex melodic leaps, so once you’re comfortable with rapping, it’s relatively easy to sing.
CASE 143Stray Kids
Stray Kids is a boys’ group that’s rapidly gaining momentum.
In Japan, they’re affectionately known as “Sukizu” and loved by many female fans.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for its singability and crowd-pleasing energy is CASE 143, released in 2022.
While the overall vocal range is quite wide—low G# to high F#—the low notes appear in the rap parts and the high notes only show up in the final chorus, so the basic range isn’t that broad.
The high notes also come after clear rests, so you can prepare and hit them comfortably.
If you’re still unsure, you can sing the high parts an octave lower.
SMILEYYENA
Former IZ*ONE member YENA—pronounced “Yeh-na.” Since going solo, her popularity hasn’t waned, and she’s been consistently turning out hit songs.
Among her tracks, a highly recommended one that’s easy to sing and great for getting the crowd going is 2022’s “SMILEY.” The song features Japanese female rapper Chanmina, but it leans more pop than hip-hop, so you won’t find the complex flows typical of hip-hop.
Both the rap parts and the vocal lines are easy to sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Future PerfectENHYPEN
ENHYPEN is a group with enduring popularity thanks to their music that emphasizes storytelling and worldbuilding.
The group’s name is pronounced “En-hai-pun.” Their track “Future Perfect” is renowned as one of their signature songs and was released in 2022.
It highlights hip-hop elements, particularly drawing from drill music, so the low end stands out; however, there are surprisingly few low parts, and the overall arrangement leans toward higher registers.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide, so with key adjustments it should be singable without issue.
You can sing the hook in a mixed voice as in the original, but delivering the vocals more roughly with some shouts is also recommended.
BBoom BBoommomoland
MOMOLAND is a girl group that draws attention with their focus on addictive music.
They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend for getting the crowd going at karaoke—and that’s also easy to sing—is “BBoom BBoom,” released in 2018.
It’s an upbeat track, but the vocal range is set quite narrowly at mid2 A# to hi D#, and the rap parts have a simple flow, making it incredibly easy to sing relative to how hyped it gets.
