Karaoke songs that are easy and fun for high school students to sing

It’s a single released by Sukima Switch in 2004, and it remains a beloved classic that many people still sing at karaoke.

With a relatively relaxed tempo and not much variation in pitch, it’s easy to sing.

Rather than being an explosive mega-hit, it steadily gained popularity and continues to be cherished.

SUNGen Hoshino

Gen Hoshino – SUN (Official Video)

The 8th single by Gen Hoshino, released in 2015.

It was selected as the theme song for the drama “Kokoro ga Pokitto ne,” marking Hoshino’s first drama tie-in song.

The most important point when singing this song is, above all, “don’t try too hard!” If you closely analyze the melody and vocals, you’ll notice the skillful contrast between powerful high notes in chest voice and gently airy falsetto.

However, if you’re just singing it for fun at karaoke, there’s no need to overthink it.

Many people may find that the key is higher than they expected when they actually try singing it, so be sure to pay attention to the key settings.

Is being cute not enough?CUTIE STREET

[MV] CUTIE STREET "Isn't it enough to be just cute?"

CUTIE STREET, the idol group that’s all the rage right now.

They’re not just popular with men—many women are fans too—so I think a lot of high schoolers know them.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Is Being Cute Not Enough?”.

Thanks in part to its huge popularity on TikTok, the pre-chorus hook line and the chorus melody are incredibly addictive.

The highest note is a slightly high hi D#, but since it only appears in the final chorus, as long as you set the key with that section in mind, it shouldn’t be difficult to sing overall.

I want to be lovedYumcha

The work “Aisaretai,” which gained popularity mainly among teenagers, is a piece by Yumcha that portrays the feelings of a girl who can’t let go of her love for her somewhat deadbeat boyfriend.

While the lyrics are negative, the melody is brimming with pop charm, resulting in an overall bright tone.

Although the song is on the higher side, the vocal range itself isn’t particularly wide.

With proper key adjustment, most women should be able to sing it without issue.

A Little Love SongMONGOL800

MONGOL800 / A Small Love Song 2013 Live Version

Although it has never been released as a single, it’s one of MONGOL800’s signature songs from their second album “Message,” released in September 2001.

It’s also well-known for having been covered by many artists, including Kumi Koda and Kohei Otomo.

Musically, it’s a bright, energetic punk rock track in a major key—full throttle! There’s really nothing particularly difficult about singing it.

Don’t sweat the small stuff; just sing it with energy and you’ll be fine.

For some people, the high notes in the chorus might be a bit tough, but you don’t need to aim for a perfectly clean delivery—it’s totally okay to belt it out, even if you can’t quite hit every note.

Farewell, my beloved sorrowsMomoiro Clover Z

[Momoiro Clover Z MV] Farewell, My Beloved Sorrows / Momoiro Clover Z (MOMOIRO CLOVER Z / Saraba Itoshiki Kanashimi Tachiyo)

A rock tune by Momoiro Clover Z, also famous as a TV drama theme song.

Composed and arranged with Tomoyasu Hotei, the track impressed not only idol fans but rock fans as well.

Cute yet cool—it’s a song that embodies Momoclo’s signature style.

Singing the latest hits can show you’re on trend, but classic anthems are still essential for getting the crowd going at karaoke.

That’s why we recommend “Hai Yorokonde.” It’s often seen as high and difficult, but that’s only if you try to replicate the falsetto in the chorus; the highest chest note is mid2 F#, which isn’t particularly high.

The song is guaranteed to hype up the room, but since it has many rapid-fire lyrics, make sure you identify your breathing spots in advance.
