[2026] Must-See for Beginners! A Collection of Easy-to-Sing Western Songs for Karaoke (21–30)
Eyes ClosedEd Sheeran
Ed Sheeran is a singer everyone knows.
His song Eyes Closed is included on the album – (Subtract).
It tells the story of a man who has lost someone he loves, visits a bar, and sinks into sorrow while listening to various songs.
Combined with its gentle melody, singing it might help heal friends or family who are hurting.
And since it’s slow-tempo, it’s perfect for those who struggle with fast English lyrics.
Maybe Next TimeJamie Miller
Jamie Miller is a pop singer from the UK.
He might not be very well-known in Japan, but he’s hugely popular in Britain, and his distinctive tone and unique singing style create a world all his own.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend is “Maybe Next Time.” It’s an emotional ballad, and if someone with a similarly husky voice sings it, I think it can sound incredibly cool.
Be sure to check it out.

Killer QueenQueen
The song Killer Queen was the first single from the third album Sheer Heart Attack.
It was Queen’s first hit in the United States and is a catchy tune packed with highlights, including their trademark guitar orchestration.
Because the vocals are generally subdued and the range is narrow, it’s relatively easy to sing; however, there are sections with complex melodies, so be careful not to lose the flow of the song.
Also, since it has a relaxed shuffle beat, be mindful of the swinging rhythm when you sing.
We Are The ChampionsQueen
Included on the 6th album “News of the World” and a massive hit as a single in both the UK and the US, “We Are the Champions” is one of Queen’s signature songs, widely known across generations in Japan as well due to its frequent use in various settings.
Its chorus has a relaxed melody and the vocal range isn’t too wide, making it easy to sing, but the verses feature complex melodies, including rapid-fire phrasing, which requires attention.
The guitar solo that comes in as a call-and-response during the final chorus amps up the excitement—an undeniable hit tune that’s sure to bring the house down at karaoke.
Time After TimeCyndi Lauper
Cyndi Lauper is a female singer-songwriter whose distinctive musical style has earned high praise around the world.
Many people find her unique vocal tone memorable and even addictive.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Time After Time.
It’s one of her easier songs to sing, and even in the chorus there aren’t any parts where you need to belt.
There is a section in the final, climactic chorus where you raise your voice a bit, but it’s not so high that you need to use falsetto, so it should be easy for beginners to sing.
Late Night TalkingHarry Styles
Harry Styles, a member of One Direction.
Since the group went on hiatus, he’s been active as a solo artist, consistently releasing mainstream hit tunes.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend for beginners is Late Night Talking.
It rides the wave of the revival trend, delivering a nostalgic melody.
It’s also a groove-driven song, so the vocals are kept understated—that’s a key point.
As long as you have a sense of rhythm, you can sing it stylishly, so be sure to check it out.
In conclusion
Many of the songs introduced this time have catchy melodies and not-so-difficult English lyrics, so I hope even beginners to Western music found them easy to sing.
Of course, if you want to perform them perfectly, you’ll need a fair amount of practice, but to start with, even just following the melody using katakana English is enough to fully enjoy the vibe of the songs—so give it a try!
