Aimyon – On the Day of Goodbye [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

This is Aimyon’s first digital-only single, released in February 2020.

Aimyon is quite a skilled vocalist, but since the vocal range used here isn’t very wide and the melody isn’t complex—easy to remember and approachable—I think you can definitely aim for a high score with this song.

Another recommendation is that the key sits comfortably for women with lower voices.

Just be careful not to let your singing sound too flat.

GReeeeN – Kiseki

This is a masterpiece packed with the depth of love and bonds in its lyrics.

Released in May 2008, it was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “ROOKIES” and became a massive hit.

It set a Guinness World Record for reaching one million full-song mobile downloads in the fastest time ever.

Characterized by GReeeeN’s warm vocals and a melody that resonates with the heart, it depicts a happy journey walked by two people.

Sing it at karaoke, and it’s sure to touch the heart of someone you like! If you sing it with genuine feelings for the other person, you’ll surely capture a girl’s heart.

Gen Hoshino – SUN (Official Video)

The 8th single by Gen Hoshino, released in 2015.

It was selected as the theme song for the drama “Kokoro ga Pokitto ne,” marking Hoshino’s first drama tie-in song.

The most important point when singing this song is, above all, “don’t try too hard!” If you closely analyze the melody and vocals, you’ll notice the skillful contrast between powerful high notes in chest voice and gently airy falsetto.

However, if you’re just singing it for fun at karaoke, there’s no need to overthink it.

Many people may find that the key is higher than they expected when they actually try singing it, so be sure to pay attention to the key settings.

TWICE「TT -Japanese ver.-」Music Video

Songs with catchy choreography are great for getting everyone hyped, right? So how about trying “TT -Japanese ver.

-”? It’s the Japanese debut single by the girl group TWICE.

The “TT dance,” where you show sadness with both hands because your crush won’t notice you, became a huge topic.

When you sing it at karaoke, try enjoying the choreography with your friends, too.

By the way, I introduced the Japanese version, but tackling the Korean version is a fun option as well.

Yorushika – Say It. (Music Video)

I’m sure there are many high school students who want to sing songs by Yorushika, a band popular among teens and people in their twenties.

However, the vocalist suis has an exceptionally high-level voice as a singer—clear, translucent tone and beautiful falsetto—so it’s fine if you’ve had proper lessons, but as a high school student you might find it hard to sing well.

That said, the song “Itte” is one of Yorushika’s easier songs to sing.

There’s no falsetto section and the key isn’t high, so with practice, anyone can sing it well!

Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO34rank/position

SHISHAMO “Tomorrow Too”

This is a song released in 2017 that was used in an NTT Docomo commercial.

The intro through to the lead-up to the chorus might not ring a bell at all, but once the chorus hits, most people will probably think, “I’ve heard this!” The overall vocal range is G3–D5, so most women should be able to sing it without changing the key.

Also, since it features a band × brass band arrangement, the song has a very light, upbeat feel that makes it easy to get into the rhythm! I think it would be plenty of fun and a real crowd-pleaser at karaoke, too.

That said, the chorus is longer than you might expect, so you’ll need some stamina, and there’s a risk it could start to feel repetitive.

It might be good to split the chorus into two big parts—front half and back half—so you can add contrast and keep things engaging!

Bunny GirlAKASAKI35rank/position

[AKASAKI] Bunny Girl (Lyric Video)

AKASAKI’s hit song “Bunny Girl.” Thanks to its explosive popularity on TikTok and Instagram, I think any high school student would know it.

While the track is great for hyping up a crowd, it’s also exceptionally easy to sing.

The main reason is its vocal range: mid1 C to mid2 E.

For a recent Japanese pop song, that’s remarkably narrow, making key adjustments easy and allowing anyone—regardless of gender—to sing it.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
