[2026] A Must-See for Beginners! A Collection of Easy-to-Sing Western Songs for Karaoke (11–20)
…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.
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.
Closer (ft. Halsey)The Chainsmokers
The Chainsmokers is a music group consisting of Drew Taggart, Alex Pall, and Matt McGuire, who keep releasing worldwide hit tunes powered by EDM and electropop.
They’re a well-known group in Japan too, so you’ve probably heard of them.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Closer (ft.
Halsey).” Since the song uses heavy effects, beginners should try using the karaoke effects feature.
With effects applied, it’s harder to mask vocals, so give it a try.
It’s also a male–female duet, making it a great pick for couples who want to post an English-language singing video!
Beautiful ThingsBenson Boone
The song by American singer-songwriter Benson Boone is a moving ballad that portrays love, gratitude, and the fear of loss.
With powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics, it emphasizes the importance of cherishing life’s beautiful moments.
Released in January 2024, the track became a global hit, reaching No.
2 on the Billboard charts.
It has captured many hearts and resonated with listeners around the world.
I recommend this song to anyone experiencing both the joys and anxieties of life.
Bad RomanceLady Gaga
Lady Gaga is a female singer-songwriter who has been active for many years since the late 2000s.
Although she stepped back from the mainstream for a time, she’s now back near the top of the charts.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Bad Romance.
While her music often draws attention for its eccentric pop style, this track surprisingly places a strong emphasis on groove.
Because of that, it requires relatively little vocal technique, making it very easy for beginners to sing.
A Bar Song (Tipsy)Shaboozey
The American singer-songwriter Shaboozey delivers a fresh sound that fuses country and hip-hop.
This track portrays time spent at a bar with friends to escape everyday stress.
The phrase “everyone in the bar is drunk” is particularly striking and lingers with listeners.
Released in April 2024, it reached No.
1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
In May of the same year, Shaboozey appeared on the popular show The Tonight Show, drawing even more attention.
It’s a perfect song for when you’re worn out from work or relationships and need a change of pace.

The GiverChappell Roan
Chappell Roan, known as a transgender singer.
Her song The Giver, released in March 2025, is one of her signature tracks.
While she mainly excels in genres like synth-pop and dark pop, this work features a gentler melody with a somewhat country-like feel.
The vocal range spans from mid1 F# to high E, which is fairly wide, but since there are almost no ad-libs aside from some embellishments in the final arrangement, it’s relatively approachable to sing.
