Aim for a high score! A collection of easy-to-sing karaoke songs recommended for high school students

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!

From around 1995 to 2000, I built experience with a major label as a composer and producer. I then moved to the United States and studied voice and singing under Elizabeth Sabine, one of Los Angeles’s top vocal coaches, mastering the so-called Hollywood vocal technique advocated by Sabine. After returning to Japan, I have been involved in training and producing a variety of singers. My direction, which brings out the full appeal of both the music and the vocalist, is highly regarded. In the collaboration video with Vo. ryuichi of the band Guild below, I handled keyboards, vocal direction, and sound production.

When karaoke has a scoring feature, you can’t help wanting to go for a high score, right?

I’m sure many of you enjoy competing for high scores with your friends.

This time, for high school students who love karaoke, I’ve selected some songs that seem relatively easy to sing and good for aiming at high scores.

The key to getting a high score at karaoke is, above all else, to memorize the melody and rhythm (note values) accurately!

If you want to aim for a high score, listen closely to the guide melody, memorize it, and then try singing.

If you’re thinking, “There’s no way I can memorize all that,” one trick might be to turn up the guide melody volume so it’s easier to hear while you sing.

Some of the individual song introduction articles also include advice specifically for getting high scores, so be sure to use this article as a reference and get a leg up on your friends!

Aim for a High Score! Recommended Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs for High School Students (41–50)

That gentle girlSpitz

Spitz / That Gentle Girl

That kind girl, Spitz

As a CD single by Spitz, this is their 40th release, or their 42nd single overall if you include digital-only tracks, released in June 2019.

It was chosen as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Natsuzora.” It’s a very “Spitz-like” track with a clear, refreshing, and breezy feel, and the melody is very approachable.

It would be a solid choice if you’re aiming for a high score in karaoke.

The key is a bit high, so if you’re unsure about your high notes, lowering it by about two semitones (-2) should make it easier to sing.

Although the song maintains a light, upbeat rhythm overall, don’t forget to keep a “big groove” when singing the chorus, and be careful not to rush the rhythm.

Also, since the chorus melody has large note values, pay close attention to maintaining pitch accuracy to score high.

Last Call flumpool

Released in 2017, this is a rock number by the Japanese rock band flumpool that begins with a grand, sweeping intro.

Its beautiful melody and powerful beat match the epic arrangement and leave a strong impression.

If you can sing boldly and comfortably over this performance, you might be able to aim for a pretty high score.

Sing from your diaphragm and feel the rhythm as you go.

One thing I want to ask youSHISHAMO

SHISHAMO "One Thing I Want to Ask You"

One thing I want to ask you SHISHAMO

This song has a relaxed groove that’s easy to catch, and I’ve heard the average karaoke score is in the low-to-mid 90s, so I think it’s a song where it’s relatively easy to score well! In the first verse, there are spots where the pitch jumps higher—don’t hesitate, project your voice clearly into the mic.

The chorus has a unique rhythm, so be precise: make clean cuts where needed and keep the timing accurate instead of letting it all flow together.

Also, adding clear dynamics throughout the song boosts your expressiveness score, which can really raise your overall points.

Try focusing on each point one by one and give it a shot!

Strangerstuki.

tuki. “Strangers” Official Audio (Insert song from the TBS Sunday Theater drama series “Caster”)

Strangers tuki.

The A and B verses sit around F#3 and are quite low, but if you can get through that part, the rest is in a key that should be comfortable for many female singers, so it’s easier to keep pitch and aim for a perfect score.

According to records from June 2025, the average JOYSOUND karaoke scoring for this song is about 90.

51.

I think the key to scoring 90 or above is stability in the low notes! Be mindful not to let your pitch drop too much on the low notes that come after the A, B, and bridge sections.

For the chorus, singing with clear accents makes it easier to lock into the rhythm, so that might work well!

AriaAina the End

Aina the End – Aria [Official Music Video]

Aria Aina The End

Aina the End is known for her husky, slightly nasal voice, but if you’re not used to this singing style, imitating it can make it very difficult to stay on pitch.

To score 100 points, first focus on matching the pitch accurately using a voice that’s natural and comfortable for you.

At the end of the C melody, there’s a high note at C5; make sure to take a breath mid-phrase and place the note properly.

Also, the chorus uses a lot of scoops as a technique, but you don’t need to worry about that at first.

Start by getting familiar with the melody!

Updatemiwa

miwa “Update” Music Video (Short Ver.)

Update miwa

This is miwa’s 24th single, released in May 2018.

It was used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime My Hero Academia.

I know I’m the one who picked it, but aiming for a high score by tracing the melody exactly might be a bit tricky with this song (lol).

miwa, who sings the original, gives the impression of having solid foundational vocal technique, and she handles the slightly challenging melody with ease.

That said, the chorus melody is very catchy and easy to remember, so as long as you make sure your voice doesn’t get weak when switching to falsetto and that the transition isn’t unnatural, you should be fine.

It’s a song with a very light, pleasant groove, so have fun practicing it.

The key to a high score really comes down to memorizing the original melody accurately.

Since it’s a straightforward song in terms of expression, if you pay attention to rhythm and pitch, a high score is definitely within reach!

YELLOWYoh Kamiyama

Yoh Kamiyama – YELLOW [Music Video] / Yoh Kamiyama – YELLOW

YELLOW Kami Yagi

Originally a Vocaloid producer, Yoh Kamiyama released what was effectively his debut song on YouTube in November 2018 when he announced he would begin working as a singer-songwriter.

By February of the following year, it had reached 10 million views.

Although the lyrics are packed in and sung a bit quickly, the melody is basically made up of gentle, even lines with little variation, making it an ideal choice if you want to aim for a high karaoke score.

Don’t worry about vocal expression—just focus on singing with precise melody and rhythm.

The vocal range required isn’t broad either, so it’s truly recommended for high scores!
