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

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

Compared to today’s songs, older tracks didn’t pack in as many words.

Because of that, many of them were, on the surface, easier to sing than modern songs.

That doesn’t mean today’s songs are necessarily harder, though.

Since recent songs tend to cram in more words, it’s actually easier to disguise flaws, so depending on the track, some can be quite easy for anyone to sing well.

This time, I’ve picked out songs from that category that I especially recommend for high school students.

We’ll be featuring the latest tracks, so be sure to check it out to the end!

Karaoke Songs Recommended for High School Students That Are Easy to Sing and Fun (51–60)

Youthful AmigoShuji and Akira

Seishun Amigo [Shuji and Akira Cover] (Chor. Draft)

Seishun Amigo Shuuji and Akira

This song is by Shuji and Akira, the popular duo of Kazuya Kamenashi and Tomohisa Yamashita that caused a huge sensation at the time.

The unit was formed under the character names from the drama “Nobuta wo Produce,” in which both appeared, and the song was released under those names.

Although many years have passed since its release, the song remains popular, including its distinctive choreography.

KANA-BOON “Silhouette” Music Video

Silhouette KANA-BOON

“Silhouette” is a song by KANA-BOON and their fifth major-label single, released on November 26, 2014.

I don’t think you need exceptionally high vocal skills to sing KANA-BOON’s songs, but for many people the sticking point might be their distinctive, slightly high-pitched vocal tone.

As long as you can handle that, the melody itself isn’t particularly difficult, so I think it’s a selection that should be easy for almost anyone to sing.

If you sing it in the original key, pay attention to the high notes—especially the transitions between chest voice and falsetto.

Listen closely to the original, study where and how different vocal techniques are used, and then try singing it.

If you’re not confident, you should be fine lowering the key!

Closest to You – Suzuki Suzuki [Official Music Video]

Suzuki Suzuki up close

For high school students who want to take on a slightly more challenging song, we recommend “Ichiban Chikakude.” It’s a track by the sibling duo Suzuki Suzuki, made up of Tomu and Seina, and it gained attention because YouTuber Kajisac and Sho-ta from Amenbo Plus appeared in the music video.

While the high notes at the end of the chorus are a bit difficult, the rest of the song is easy to sing, and as long as you can hit the high notes, anyone can sing it.

For the high parts, avoid pushing your voice too hard; focus on producing a clean falsetto at the appropriate height and matching the key carefully to make it easier to sing.

back number – Horizon

水平線back number

When you think of back number, love songs come to mind—but this is a ballad that’s sure to strike a chord with anyone.

The song “Suiheisen” (Horizon) was written for high school students who were aiming for the Inter-High but had their dreams cut short due to the pandemic.

Even if it’s not the Inter-High, many people have surely felt frustration under various restrictions.

This gentle yet powerful number soothes those feelings—some listeners might even be moved to tears.

Let’s turn everyone’s frustration into forward momentum with this song.

A song performed by Kenta Kiritani as Urashima Taro, born from a hugely popular commercial series.

[Alexandros] – Wataridori (MV)

Wataridori [Alexandros]

Wataridori is one of [Alexandros]’s signature songs, released in 2015 as their 10th single overall.

Many of you may recognize it from commercials.

Although this article is about karaoke recommendations for people who aren’t confident singers, I think this song is a bit difficult to sing.

Not many people can hit these high notes easily, so try lowering the key first and find the key that works best for you before singing.
