[For Middle Schoolers] Ranking of Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs [2026]

SakurazakaMasaharu Fukuyama57rank/position

Masaharu Fukuyama – Sakurazaka (Full ver.)

It’s the theme song of Ucchan Nanchan’s “Future Diary.” It’s a gentle, ballad-style love song and a million seller that was released in celebration of Masaharu Fukuyama’s 10th anniversary since his debut.

I’ve heard that the “Sakurazaka” it’s modeled after exists in two places: Tokyo and Nagasaki.

The song gives off the impression of a slightly grown-up, mature man.

Rain MaidenRaon58rank/position

Raon 라온 | 'Rain Maiden (Ameotome)' M/V

Raon is a singer from South Korea.

Although she’s a Korean artist, she has released many songs in Japanese, making her popular in the J-pop scene as well.

Among Raon’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Ame Otome” (Rain Maiden).

It exudes a dark atmosphere.

The entire song is sung using a whisper voice from start to finish.

This whisper vocal style is easy to produce even for those who aren’t confident singers, and it tends to sound good without requiring special techniques.

Try singing it without forcing your voice—comfortably, and with a dark tone.

If I'm wrapped in kindnessYumi Matsutoya59rank/position

Yumi Matsutoya – If Wrapped in Kindness (THE LAST WEDNESDAY TOUR 2006 ~HERE COMES THE WAVE~)

This is the theme song from Studio Ghibli’s film Kiki’s Delivery Service.

The third single by Yumi Arai (Yumi Matsutoya) was used.

It’s a song almost everyone has heard at least once, and one that makes people want to sing along at karaoke.

Happy Ending feat. ZORNRADWIMPS60rank/position

RADWIMPS – Grand Finale feat. ZORN [Official Music Video]

RADWIMPS, the popular rock band that has been consistently releasing hit songs since the 2010s.

Their new track, “Daidan’en feat.

ZORN,” is a number with strong hip-hop elements, featuring a collaboration with rapper ZORN, who enjoys tremendous support from heads.

That said, Yojiro Noda’s verse leans toward orthodox Japanese rock, so the vocal line isn’t too difficult.

Many people may not be confident in singing but are good at rapping.

If that sounds like you, definitely give this song a try.

Let's dance in a circle (Wasshoi)V661rank/position

V6 / Let's Dance in WA (YouTube Ver.)

This is one of V6’s signature songs.

It originally aired on Minna no Uta and became very popular.

Various arrangements have been released in the V6 version.

It was also included in school textbooks, so many people may feel familiar with it.

It’s a song everyone can sing together.

Soliloquy MV [Chiikawa MAD] [Music Video]

Chiikawa is a popular anime loved by a wide range of people, from elementary school children to adults.

The song “Hitorigotsu” is sung by Hachiware, a character in the series.

Given the time slot it airs in, most elementary schoolers have probably heard it at least once.

The piece is characterized by a very simple vocal line.

The pitch movement is very gentle and the range is quite narrow, so even upper-grade students whose voices may be unstable due to voice change can sing it without any problem.

GraduationKobukuro63rank/position

Kobukuro “Graduation”

The 2020 track “Sotsugyo” (Graduation), themed around graduation.

The coupling includes a choral version performed by the Suginami Children’s Choir, making it a perfect piece for chorus as well.

With its gentle, calm melody, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.

Not only for karaoke, but it’s also a song that’s easy for everyone to sing together at school events like graduation ceremonies and choral competitions.

Since there are no difficult melodic lines, try singing it with care, savoring each word and putting your heart into it.
