Pig Thunder (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi64rank/position

Yukopi – Pig Thunder (feat. Kaai Yuki)

Yukopi is a Vocaloid producer whose music is characterized by a surreal atmosphere with a subtle sense of cuteness.

Yukopi has created many masterpieces, but the one I particularly recommend as an easy-to-sing song for elementary school students is “Buta Thunder (feat.

Kaai Yuki).” Although the vocal range is slightly high at mid2 A# to high C, the overall range isn’t wide, so depending on the key, the difficulty can drop significantly even for elementary schoolers whose voices may be unstable.

It doesn’t require intricate techniques, and the melodic rises and falls are gentle, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

1 on the Billboard charts.

Ketsumeishi “Superstar”

“Superstar” is a song by Ketsumeishi that was used as the opening theme for the anime Crayon Shin-chan.

It’s an upbeat dance track and an easy choice for karaoke.

The tempo is a bit fast, but it’s easy to keep the rhythm, and there isn’t much range in pitch, so even kids who aren’t confident singers will find it easy to sing.

However, there are many rap sections, so if you’re not comfortable with rap, make sure to practice.

That said, there aren’t many super-fast parts, so it’s beginner-friendly.
