[Viral on TikTok and YouTube!] Karaoke Songs Recommended for High School Students

Lost and Found / Tatsuya Kitani

Tatsuya Kitani is a male singer-songwriter who enjoys overwhelming support from young people.

If you’re a junior high school student, regardless of gender, you’ve probably heard his songs at least once.

His new track, “Nakushimono,” features a bouncy, neo-soul-leaning, black-inflected groove, but shifts into orthodox J-pop when it hits the chorus.

There’s a falsetto part right before the chorus, and if you find that section difficult, I recommend adjusting the key so you can sing it in mix voice.

Creephyp – Zarameki (Music Video)

These days it’s easier than ever to explore different genres, but I think J-rock fans remain as passionate as ever.

For junior high school students who love J-rock, I recommend “Zarameki” by CreepHyp.

The song has a cohesive feel reminiscent of indie rock and dream pop, with gently undulating melodies throughout.

As a cutting-edge J-rock track, it might be the perfect song for trend-savvy junior high students.

WANIMA – Together (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Isn’t it often in high school that worries start to pile up in school life? You’ll likely feel stress as you go through many experiences in your studies and club activities.

At times like that, the song I want you to sing at karaoke is WANIMA’s “Tomoni.” Its lively lyrics make it a powerful pep song you’ll want to hear when you’re feeling down.

With its up-tempo beat and KENTA’s soaring high notes, it’s a perfect recommendation for students with a lot on their minds.

TETETEPilafian

Pilafian – TETETE

Pilaf Seijin is a rapper drawing attention in the MC battle scene.

While opinions about him in battles are divided, his recorded tracks have been highly praised, especially among teen heads.

Among his songs, the one I particularly recommend is “TETETE.” It’s a track drenched in Auto-Tune, but the flow itself is fairly simple and melodious, leaning more toward a vocal performance than straight rap.

Though it sits on the higher side, the overall range isn’t very wide, making it a song that’s relatively easy to sing for all genders.

Charles is a beloved classic in the Vocaloid scene and an extremely popular masterpiece.

It’s also a staple for “utattemita” (cover) videos! The creator Balloon is now active as a singer-songwriter under the name Keina Suda, which has further boosted the song’s recognition and popularity.

Built on a band sound with a catchy, familiar melody line, it’s cool and striking.

With its high profile and stylish vibe, there’s no way it won’t hype up a karaoke session!

This is the theme song of the film “Fireworks: Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?”.

It’s a collaboration that pairs DAOKO’s translucent, whispery vocals—one of her charms—with Kenshi Yonezu’s poignant singing.

Since it’s a duet, singing it at karaoke with someone you like is sure to create a great vibe.

King Gnu – Teenager Forever

It’s a refreshing, fast-paced anthem with an amazing groove that lifts us up.

You could call it a wonderful song that fully captures the teenage years—a sensitive time when boys and girls can still become anything.

From cool moments to tender ones to bursts of energy, the song shows many faces, as if it turned that dazzling, conflicted age into music, and it never lets us get bored—it brings a smile to our faces.

It’s the kind of track that makes you want to belt it out like crazy with your friends at karaoke.
