LOVE is / Wanuka [Music Video]

Wanudka, a singer-songwriter who gained popularity on social media and YouTube, is now supported by teens in middle and high school.

With a clean, approachable vocal tone and musical style, his songs tend to appeal to everyone, so many middle schoolers likely enjoy his music as well.

Among his tracks, the one that’s especially easy to score high with at karaoke is LOVE is.

It’s a song that softens the kind of melodic lines Sambomaster excels at.

There aren’t many high parts and you don’t need to belt, so it’s very easy to sing.

tuki. “Guilty” Official Music Video

Tuki.

, a singer-songwriter who went viral at 15 while still in junior high.

She’s now a second-year high school student, but as fellow junior high students, many of you probably still look up to who she was back then.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Guilty.

The chorus features falsetto, but even though it could be sung in chest voice, she deliberately chooses falsetto.

So if you’re a typical junior high school girl with an average vocal range, you should be able to sing it easily using a light mixed voice.

It’s her latest track, so if you want to get ahead of the trend early, this is a must-listen for junior high students!

[Performance Video] Future Island ~Future Island~ / Mori Calliope (Official Theme Song for ONE PIECE Volume 106)

Sung by the popular VTuber Mori Calliope, this track drew major attention as it was released as the theme song for the manga version of ONE PIECE.

Set on the futuristic island of Egghead, the work focuses on the brilliant scientist Vegapunk’s groundbreaking ideas and technological revolution.

The song is distinguished by Mori Calliope’s clear, expansive vocals and its catchy melody.

Released in July 2023, it debuted at a special live performance on Shinjuku’s Yunika Vision.

Because the vocal range isn’t very wide, it’s a perfect pick for middle schoolers to enjoy at karaoke.

If you pay attention to accurate pitch and rhythm, you can aim for a high score.

Fly awayPEDRO55rank/position

PEDRO / Fly Away [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

This is a song by PEDRO, the solo project that Ayuni D started in 2018, paused once, and later resumed.

I’ve heard she writes the songs herself, and the tempo is just right for karaoke, with a calm melody.

It seems like something you can sing while taking your time to control your breathing.

Her singing style is a bit lisped, but if you try too hard to replicate that, it might make it difficult to stay on pitch.

Aim for Ayuni’s clear, translucent tone when you sing.
