A Thousand MilesVanessa Carlton
Vanessa Carlton is a singer-songwriter who has gained worldwide popularity with a musical style centered on soft rock and pop rock.
She is known for her high level of piano skill, and her piano-and-vocal performances always energize her live shows.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is A Thousand Miles.
Although it has an upbeat feel, the vocal line doesn’t require many high notes, making it an easy song for beginners to sing.
SugarMaroon 5
Maroon 5 is an American band that enjoys worldwide popularity.
While they began primarily as an alternative rock group, in recent years they’ve ventured not only into pop music but also R&B and dance music.
Among their songs, one I especially recommend is Sugar.
The falsetto in the chorus is tricky, but the rest of the vocal lines are kept simple.
If you sing the chorus with a bright, slightly cartoonish tone, it will sound more like Western pop, so give it a try.
Love StoryTaylor Swift
A signature song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift is a perfect choice even for karaoke beginners.
Inspired by a Shakespearean tragedy yet elevated into a modern love story, its lyrics are captivating.
It vividly portrays the pure love of young lovers and their struggle to overcome the opposition around them.
Released in September 2008, the track features an accessible melody that blends country and pop.
In 2009, it won multiple music awards and became a turning point in Swift’s career.
It’s recommended not only for those in love, but for anyone who believes in pure love.

EspressoSabrina Carpenter
An exciting and captivating track has arrived, like an espresso packed with caffeine.
Sabrina Carpenter from the United States portrays a confident female figure.
Built on pop and funk while incorporating elements of synth-pop and disco, the song was released in April 2024 and became a major hit, reaching No.
1 on the UK Singles Chart and No.
3 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Its playful, humorous lyrics sparked buzz on social media and gained popularity especially among young listeners.
Brimming with self-affirmation, the lyrics are perfect for when you need a boost of energy or want to regain your confidence.
WhateverOasis
Oasis, the rock band that still enjoys huge popularity among many young people in Japan.
I think there are still plenty of people who discovered their songs through the film BECK and the like.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Whatever.
Contrary to the song’s overall feel, the vocal line is surprisingly set in a low register.
Even if you struggle with high notes, you should be able to sing this song.
That said, it’s not just about singing low—if you focus on adding overtones, it will sound more like Western pop, which I recommend.
I Want It That WayBackstreet Boys
The Backstreet Boys are a boy group that has captivated women around the world with their sweet looks and strong vocal performances.
If you’re a woman in your late twenties or older, you probably know them well.
While they built their reputation on high-quality vocals, they also have classic songs that are easy for beginners to sing.
One of those is I Want It That Way.
It features a melody that blends sweetness with a refreshing feel, and unusually for their songs, it doesn’t include any high-pitched parts.
For people who aren’t confident singers or are just starting out, high notes can be a major hurdle.
This track keeps the vocal lines friendly even for those listeners, so be sure to give it a try.
…Baby One More TimeBritney Spears
Britney Spears, a female singer-songwriter who is hugely popular in Japan.
Her popularity in the early 2000s was tremendous, so anyone in their late 20s or 30s will likely know her.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is …Baby One More Time.
Toxic is also a classic and relatively easy to sing, but …Baby One More Time sits lower in the vocal range, so I think it’s even easier.
In fact, it has so many low parts that women may find it challenging, which might make it easier for men to sing.
