A guaranteed hit at junior high school karaoke! Easy-to-sing, crowd-pleasing Japanese songs (1–10)

Yorushika is a unit that has produced many great songs.

You could say they’re one of the most popular acts among teenagers.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend for its popularity and ease of singing is Hebi (“Snake”).

The song’s vocal range is mid1E to hiA, which is quite narrow for a female song.

The pitch movement is also relatively gentle, so any junior high school girl should be able to sing it well.

It’s a song that appeals to both girls and boys, so be sure to check it out.

These days, TikTokers are drawing more attention than YouTubers, but when it comes to Komudotto’s popularity, it’s still going strong among middle schoolers, isn’t it? This solo song by Yuma, a member of Komudotto, is “Kokoro Musubi” (Heart Ties).

It depicts the feelings of someone celebrating a close friend’s wedding, and its range—mid1C to hiA—sits comfortably for male singers around middle school age.

When your friend gets a boyfriend or girlfriend, try surprising them by singing this at karaoke!

Singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze, whose vocals are at once ennui-tinged and subtly sexy, leaves a strong impression.

Though he comes from an R&B background and has many technically challenging songs, “Masshiro” is different.

This piece has a soft, dream-pop-like feel, and the vocal lines are gently contoured.

In fact, the range is on the narrower side—mid1 C to mid2 G—so you shouldn’t have trouble with vocal production.

It’s also an easy song to harmonize, so try singing it with a friend.

DAZBEE | “Bitter Loss” M/V
Bitter Loss DAZBEE

DAZBEE is a female singer with a uniquely transparent and striking voice.

Although she’s from South Korea, she’s primarily active in Japan and enjoys exceptional popularity in the utaite community.

If you’re a junior high school girl with a fujoshi streak, you’ve probably heard her sing at least once.

Her new song, “Bitter Loss,” features a melody that feels lofty, but the overall range isn’t very wide.

If you set it to the right key and make good use of a whispery voice, you should be able to sing it without much difficulty.

Masqueradeharha

Masquerade harha

harha is a music duo consisting of track maker Haruha and vocalist Yonabe.

Their hallmark is a genre-free musicality, and lately their momentum has been building rapidly.

Among harha’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is their new song, “Masquerade.” If I had to sum it up, it’s quintessentially orthodox.

The range, the pitch movement, and the tempo are all perfectly balanced, so the vocal line has no quirks whatsoever.

A junior high school girl with a steady vocal register should be able to sing it without any trouble.

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.

Yoimiya Tomonari Sora

Sora Tomonari is a male singer-songwriter who has earned enormous popularity for his music’s strong emphasis on world-building.

He has many classic songs, but this time I’d like to introduce a new track: Yoimatsuri (Twilight Festival).

Although falsetto appears frequently in this piece, the gap between the chest voice and falsetto is quite large, so the difficult low falsetto doesn’t show up much.

It’s not completely absent, but the phrases can be substituted with mixed voice, making the song overall easier to sing.

With its Japanese flair and a melody that weaves between minor and major modes, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going!
