Karaoke songs that are easy for middle school students to score high on

The number-one concern middle schoolers have in music is voice change.

While girls might not feel it as much, it’s a period when the vocal cords change significantly for both boys and girls, making it arguably the most difficult time to sing in your entire life.

For middle schoolers going through this, just controlling pitch can be challenging.

On top of that, recent Japanese pop songs often feature many high notes and few rests, which makes it even harder to aim for high scores.

So this time, we’ve selected songs that even middle school students with unstable voices can use to aim for high scores.

We also carefully considered how well the songs will be received, so be sure to check them out to the end.

Karaoke Songs Easy to Score High on for Middle Schoolers (41–50)

astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN

This was BUMP OF CHICKEN’s second single, released in March 2001.

Considering the release year, for junior high schoolers it’s a song that came out before you were born! Maybe your mom and dad loved this track when they were young.

Even so, it doesn’t feel dated at all—it’s a super cool guitar rock tune.

If you sing it stylishly at family karaoke and score high, your parents might be thrilled.

As a song, there aren’t any particularly difficult parts to sing, so give it a try and perform it coolly!

Sun Yorushika

Yorushika’s new song “Taiyo” (“Sun”).

Yorushika is known for their ennui-tinged musical style, and this track is particularly calm even by their standards.

As that calmness suggests, the vocal range is quite narrow, so depending on your voice, even male junior high school students might be able to sing it in the original key.

There aren’t any especially intense vocal lines, and there are clear rests, so if you just focus on pitch, you should be able to aim for a high score.

Be sure to check it out.

Spring DayAimyon

Aimyon – Harunohi [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
Harunohi Aimyon

Aimyong’s 7th single, released in April 2019.

It was also used as the theme song for the Crayon Shin-chan movie.

Now, if you’re going to sing this song at karaoke: it’s very Aimyong-like, with an easy-to-remember, catchy melodic progression.

There aren’t really any particularly difficult parts to sing, so as long as you learn the song well beforehand, you shouldn’t have any issues.

It’s a song with a comfortable, big groove at a medium tempo, so even in sections where there are a lot of lyrics, try to stay just slightly behind the beat so the tempo doesn’t rush—that’ll make it sound even cooler.

At the end of the chorus, there’s a slightly higher note; be careful not to let your voice crack there.

GoodbyeSakurako Ohara

Sakurako Ohara - Goodbye (Music Video Short ver.)
Goodbye, Sakurako Ohara

Sakurako Ohara’s ninth single in total, released in November 2017.

It’s a song with an impressively beautiful melody, crafted to make the most of her pure, clear voice.

In a way, it’s a textbook example of a classic female-vocal ballad, so if you’re a woman with some confidence in your singing, it shouldn’t be too hard to aim for a high karaoke score.

Try to sing with a transparent tone, keeping your voice as clear as possible.

Also, be careful with the high falsetto parts so they don’t stick out too much.

Aimyon – On the Night the Cherry Blossoms Fall [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
On nights when cherry blossoms fall, Aimyon

Aimyon is a female singer-songwriter whose nostalgic sound, evocative of 1970s folk music, has made her enormously popular, especially among younger listeners.

She has many hit songs, but among them, the one that’s particularly easy to score high with at karaoke is “Sakura ga Furu Yoru wa” (“On the Night the Cherry Blossoms Fall”).

Compared to her other tracks, this one has fewer acoustic elements, but as always, the vocal line places just one vowel on each pitch, making it very easy to sing.

I should be able to fly (in the sky).Spitz

Spitz / I Should Be Able to Fly in the Sky
Spitz - Soramo Toberu Hazu (I Should Be Able to Fly in the Sky)

Spitz’s eighth single in total, released in April 1994.

It’s crafted like a quintessential hit from the J-pop golden era of the ’90s, with a strong emphasis on an impactful chorus melody.

Because the chorus melody is so striking, the other sections don’t leave as strong an impression—another hallmark of ’90s J-pop—and this song is no exception.

So, if you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke, the key point is likely how well you can properly sing the parts outside the chorus.

There aren’t any particularly difficult sections to sing, so learn and internalize the song well, then give it a try!

LemonKenshi Yonezu

Kenshi Yonezu’s 8th major single was released in March 2018 (with digital distribution starting earlier in February of the same year).

It was written as the theme song for the TBS TV drama “Unnatural.” To aim for a high karaoke score with this song, there are a few tricky parts in the melody, so it’s essential to check those in advance.

Once you’ve memorized the melody, there aren’t any extremely high notes, so as long as the key suits you, you should definitely be able to go for a high score! The rhythm has a slight swing to it, so be careful not to miss that—make sure you really get into the groove of the track when you sing!
