back number – Horizon

If you want to sing a coming-of-age song that any high school student can relate to, we recommend this moving ballad released by back number.

Distributed in August 2021, the song is a message of support for high school students whose Inter-High Championships were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It carries the feelings of Iyori Shimizu, who was a member of the track and field team during his junior high and high school years.

Its gentle, comforting melody and lyrics will resonate with your heart.

It’s a song that stands beside those carrying setbacks and a sense of loss, conveying a powerful sense of finding hope.

Why not sing it with friends at karaoke and etch a page of your youth?

YOASOBI 'Haruka' Official Music Video

YOASOBI’s famous song “Haruka.” For female students living in the Reiwa era, this piece could be considered a staple graduation song.

True to YOASOBI’s style, it still features drastic pitch shifts, but since there are relatively few syllables set to the main melody, it can be considered easy to sing in terms of wordiness.

However, the vocal range is quite wide—from mid1 G to hi F#—and the highest notes are fairly high, so you need to sing with a clear focus on keeping the pitch accurate.

Aimyon – On the Night the Cherry Blossoms Fall [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

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.

Official HIGE DANDism – Pretender [Official Video]

This is the second single by the Japanese piano pop band Official HIGE DANDism, released in May 2019.

It was also selected as the theme song for the film “The Confidence Man JP: The Movie.” It’s a very characteristic track of theirs, with a refreshing, easy-to-listen vibe.

Many people may find the original key too high for karaoke, so please be mindful when setting the key.

If you’re confident with high notes, this is a great song to show off your voice.

Singing with as bright a tone as possible and a light, breezy delivery will help it sound great.

Also, be careful not to let the rhythm or groove feel heavy.

Fujii Kaze – Kirari (Official Video)

Kirari is a digital-only track by Fujii Kaze released in 2021.

It was written as the song for Honda’s VEZEL commercial and is said to be his first CM tie-in.

I’m introducing it under the theme of “a song that’s easy to sing and enjoy,” but in truth, singing it at a similar quality to the artist himself is extremely difficult.

As you’ll notice when you listen to the recording, it moves from a slightly relaxed, light vocal delivery, to sections featuring high tones skillfully using falsetto, and then to powerful singing in the latter half.

To reproduce all of that like he does requires a high level of vocal technique and expressiveness.

That said, the song itself is a lively, lightly syncopated mid-tempo pop number, and the chorus melody in particular is very catchy and memorable, making it an ideal piece to sing casually and hum along to without worrying about the finer points.

If this song helps you discover the “joy of singing,” I think it’s the kind of track you can then enjoy by adding more nuanced expression as your own skills improve.

For starters, try singing it lightly, as if you’re humming, and have fun with its breezy feel!

A Little Love SongMONGOL8006rank/position

A Little Love Song

A song I especially want male high school students in the middle of their youth to hear.

MONGOL800’s band sound comes through straight and true.

It’s included on their 2001 album MESSAGE and is known as one of their signature tracks.

The lyrics distinctively portray the bittersweetness of long-distance love and first love.

The key point is how it expresses deep affection with simple words.

In 2019, it was also used as a featured song in a film of the same name.

When singing it at karaoke, the trick is to keep a lively tempo.

The vocal range isn’t wide, so even those who aren’t confident singers will find it approachable.

Sing it with friends or a partner for an even more enjoyable time.

SaudadePorno Graffitti7rank/position

Porno Graffitti 'Saudade' (“OPEN MUSIC CABINET” Live in Saitama Super Arena 2007) / 'Saudade (Live Ver.)'

A signature hit by Porno Graffitti released in 2000.

The key is a bit high for male singers, but the flowing melody sticks with you after just one listen and is easy to learn.

There are parts that are almost like tongue twisters, giving the song a lot of drive, and you’ll likely feel refreshed after singing it through—it’s a great track for blowing off steam.
