Easy-to-sing youth songs for karaoke: recommended classics and popular hits

Shouting “Bakayaro!” toward the sea is a classic scene in coming-of-age dramas.

You might quip, “Nobody actually does that,” but whether you’re young—or even as you get older—there are times when you just want to yell at the top of your lungs.

That said, not many people have a conveniently located (?) beach nearby, so why not blow off steam with some coming-of-age songs at karaoke instead.

Coming-of-age songs that are easy to sing at karaoke. Recommended classics and popular tracks (71–80)

Over the past year or so, this seems to be the most recognized and widespread Vocaloid song.

As a result, people in their teens and twenties often sing it on social media, and it’s a popular choice at karaoke as well, so you can’t go wrong remembering it.

Isn’t YOASOBI’s music a must for today’s younger generation’s karaoke setlist? Ikura’s clear, gentle voice is easy on the ears, but those soaring high notes and powerful projection can feel like a high hurdle—so I bet many people haven’t dared to try singing them.

And some of the songs are so fast you’re left wondering, “When am I supposed to breathe?” That said, Haruka has a relaxed tempo and is one of the more singable tracks in YOASOBI’s catalog.

The lyrics really hit you in the heart, so try singing it out confidently in front of everyone!

If you’re looking for a Vocaloid track that’s easy to sing, I recommend “Strong Wind All Back (feat.

Kaai Yuki).” Its unique lyrics make a strong impression, and it’s currently popular especially among teens of all genders.

The key point of this piece lies in how the words are spaced.

Many Vocaloid songs cram in an abnormal number of syllables—perhaps because they aren’t designed with human singers in mind—which makes lots of tracks surprisingly hard to sing even when the vocal lines themselves are simple.

In contrast, this song uses remarkably few words, so even those who aren’t confident singers should find it very easy to perform.

It’s Aimyon’s fifth major single, released in August 2018.

Basically, I think it’s a familiar, easy-to-sing melody for anyone, but if there’s one thing to watch out for, it’s that there are a few spots where the breath points don’t align with the breaks in the lyrics, and in the latter half of the chorus there are some slightly rapid, seemingly-ending-yet-not phrases.

It might be a song that requires a bit of prep before singing at karaoke.

Since she herself has a relatively full-bodied voice, you don’t need to worry too much about high notes, but the highest note does surprisingly require a strong, powerful high register, so be mindful of that when you sing.

If you’re a high school student, I bet Aimyong’s songs become a hot commodity at karaoke.

Tracks like “Rosemary” and “You Don’t Listen to Rock” are all widely known and popular across generations, but the song “Sakura ga Furu Yoru wa” is a perfect choice for a high school girl, especially one in love.

In cherry blossom season, it’ll hit even harder.

It’s not just about aching or painful feelings—it’s a love song that makes you feel genuinely positive, and it’s sure to be a huge hit at an all-girls karaoke session.

Ah, the days of youthyuzu

Yuzu, the folk duo known as pioneers of the second street live performance movement who have now risen to the top tier of the J-POP scene.

Their ninth single, “Ah, Days of Youth,” features a sound with an unusually strong rock flavor for Yuzu, who are typically associated with an acoustic image—it really strikes a chord.

The relaxed shuffle beat makes it easy to sing, but since there are many jumps in pitch, be sure to stay calm and composed when you sing it.

It’s a surefire crowd-pleaser for karaoke, and harmonizing with friends makes it even more fun.

Yorushika is a duo that enjoys immense support among young people.

They specialize in melancholic songs, and since their debut they have consistently thrived in the mainstream.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend as an easy pick for karaoke is “Shayou” (Setting Sun).

It’s unusually up-tempo for a Yorushika track and has a strong rock flavor.

While their usual delicate style tends to make any imperfections in the vocals stand out, this song features a rock-oriented, heavier arrangement, so a bit of roughness actually becomes part of its charm.
