[For High School Boys] A Collection of Easy-to-Sing Japanese Songs for Karaoke

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.

Bunny GirlAKASAKI

[AKASAKI] Bunny Girl (Lyric Video)

The song “Bunny Girl,” so popular that there’s hardly a day you don’t hear it on TikTok or Instagram, is the signature work of the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI.

It’s characterized by an exceptionally light, catchy rhythm.

Despite how pleasant and bouncy it sounds—which might come as a surprise—the piece actually has a very narrow vocal range.

As long as you set the key appropriately, people of any voice type can sing it.

The vocal line is rhythmic but doesn’t require any complex pitch movement, and there are no long sustained notes, so even those without strong vocal skills can sing it with confidence.

pure whiteFujii Kaze

Fujii Kaze – “masshiro” (pure white) [Official Audio]

Fujii Kaze’s new song “Masshiro.” When you think of Fujii Kaze, you probably picture tracks rooted in R&B, right? That style can make his music feel a bit challenging to some listeners, but this release is different.

It forgoes elements of Black music like R&B and instead features an airy, dream-pop-like vocal line throughout.

As a result, it’s one of the easiest songs to sing in his catalog.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

After-school[Alexandros]

[Alexandros] – After School (MV)

[Alexandros] is a band that has produced numerous classic songs.

Even those not well-versed in Japanese rock have probably heard their music at least once.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “After School.” While it has the essence of J-rock, it strongly incorporates elements of overseas alternative rock throughout, featuring a refreshing and composed vocal line.

It’s a notably understated piece: the vocals have minimal ups and downs and a relatively narrow range, making it an ideal song for aiming at a perfect score.
