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)

Strong Wind Slicked-Back (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi

Yukopi – Strong Wind Slicked-back Hair (feat. Kaai Yuki)
Strong Wind Slicked-Back Hair (feat. Kaai Yuki) - Yukopi

This song is memorable for its off-key recorder and addictive melody.

Showcasing Yukopi’s playful spirit, it comically portrays everyday life with hair tousled by strong winds.

Released in March 2023, it generated major buzz, particularly on social media.

It became especially popular among young people, topping Billboard JAPAN’s “Niconico VOCALOID SONGS TOP20” for five consecutive weeks.

It was also featured in a Nissin Cup Noodles commercial, boosting its visibility even further.

The vocal line is very simple with a narrow range, making it perfect for those aiming for high karaoke scores.

Even if you’re not confident in your singing, it’s a fun song to try—so give it a shot!

Kana Nishino 'Torisetsu' MV (Short Ver.)
KANA NISHINO - “Torisetsu” (User Manual)

Kana Nishino’s 27th single, released in September 2015.

This song has become a wedding staple, but it’ll be a little while before you middle schoolers experience that yourselves (lol).

That said, I bet many girls can relate to these lyrics.

It’s an adorable song in both melody and words, and there aren’t any difficult parts to sing, so it might be fun to compete for high scores with your friends on a one-song challenge.

Sing brightly, happily, and cutely!

tear(s)KANA-BOON

KANA-BOON “Namida” Music Video
Tears KANA-BOON

It’s an emo track by the guitar rock band KANA-BOON.

This song also has that signature KANA-BOON feel set to a rock sound, but what makes it great is how it starts with a somewhat relaxed melody and then, in the chorus, the vocals suddenly become powerful.

So be careful not to miss the very first note when the chorus comes in.

Also, do your best with the tricky, detailed pitches and the sustained notes in the latter half!

Gesu no Kiwami Otome – “Image Strategy”
The ultimate maiden of image strategy Gess.

This is “Image Strategy,” a song by the rock band Gesu no Kiwami Otome.

It’s included on the album “Sukinara Towanai.” The rap-like opening is so fast that it can make you brace yourself, right? In times like that, I recommend slowly reading the lyrics out loud to get your mouth used to the movements.

Also, if you decide in advance where to take breaths, you won’t disrupt the rhythm—so give it a try!

Cocoa AAA

This is the song “Cocoa” by the very popular group AAA.

It’s a sweet and very cute tune! Pay attention to the opening melody.

The timing is a bit complex, but if you really listen to the track, you should be able to learn it.

Also, be sure to grasp the subtle nuances of how to sing the chorus melody and the parts where you use falsetto.

It will help you develop your expressiveness!

LiSA “Homura” -MUSIC CLIP-
Homura LiSA

This is “Homura,” sung by LiSA, who enjoys enduring popularity as an anisong singer.

It’s the theme song for the movie Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train.

The film was a historic blockbuster, and its theme song “Homura” also became a huge hit across Japan.

The sweeping ballad pierces the heart and almost brings you to tears, doesn’t it? Many of you have probably heard the melody and pitch in various places and already have them down pat.

For this song, taking that as a given, let’s focus on expression.

Use breath control and voice volume control to add nuance to the performance.

That should also earn you extra points.

Love so sweetstorm

Love so sweet – Arashi (Full)
Love so sweet Arashi

It’s Arashi’s 18th single, released in February 2007.

It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama Hana Yori Dango 2 (Returns), starring group member Jun Matsumoto.

Now, when it comes to singing this song at karaoke, don’t dismiss it just because it’s by a Johnny’s idol group! The melody is quite intricate, and especially with the sudden key change in the chorus, if you only know it vaguely, you might not be able to follow the modulation.

So first, make sure you learn the melody thoroughly before you try singing it.

To sing it like the original, you’ll also need to master middle voice, a technique that sits between chest voice and falsetto.

If you’re not confident, it might be a good idea to raise the key so you can handle the whole thing in falsetto.
