[Teens] Ranking of Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs [2025]

StoryAI57rank/position

AI – Story

AI is a singer who delivers R&B-style tracks infused with Black music to her listeners.

Her signature song, “Story,” released in 2005, is perfect for teens who are unsure what to sing at karaoke.

Its dramatic sound resonates alongside her soulful vocals.

Since the tempo is slow, the key to singing it at karaoke is to stay calm and control your breathing.

It’s also a great choice when you want to express gratitude to your classmates or club members.

Is being cute not enough?CUTIE STREET58rank/position

[MV] CUTIE STREET "Isn't it enough to be just cute?"

CUTIE STREET, the idol group that’s all the rage right now.

They’re not just popular with men—many women are fans too—so I think a lot of high schoolers know them.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Is Being Cute Not Enough?”.

Thanks in part to its huge popularity on TikTok, the pre-chorus hook line and the chorus melody are incredibly addictive.

The highest note is a slightly high hi D#, but since it only appears in the final chorus, as long as you set the key with that section in mind, it shouldn’t be difficult to sing overall.

Marunouchi Sadistic

It’s one of Ringo Sheena’s best-known smash hits… or so it seems, but if you look it up properly, it was actually released in 1999.

It’s included on her second album, “Muzai Moratorium,” though it was never released as a single.

The song has also been performed by Tokyo Jihen, the band from Sheena’s other activities.

In 2024—23 years after its release—it surpassed 200 million streams, making it a song emblematic of the subscription era.

I don’t think Sheena’s songs are particularly difficult in terms of key.

However, the challenging elements—such as the complexity of the vocabulary in the lyrics, her distinctive rolled r’s, and the contrasting use of a clear, translucent voice and a raw, powerful belt—are likely why it’s so frequently sung at karaoke.

Beyond the basics of hitting pitch and keeping rhythm, try to make those diverse forms of expression your own and give it a sing.

AI – Happiness

The 24th single by singer-songwriter AI, who is widely supported by listeners for her emotional vocals and friendly, cute personality.

This song was featured in Coca-Cola’s 2011 Christmas campaign commercial and is known for being certified Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan in 2012.

Its catchy melody and sing-along chorus make it perfect for karaoke.

With an upbeat rhythm and positive lyrics that lift your spirits, it’s a feel-good track especially recommended for teenage girls.

Yorushika – Left-Right Blindness (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Although their detailed profiles are kept private, Yorushika is a music duo that has been attracting attention—especially among younger generations—for their singular artistic world.

This is their 12th digital single, written specifically as the theme song for the film “Even If This Love Disappears from the World Tonight.” It also drew buzz for being inspired by the famous children’s short story “The Happy Prince.” The song has a relaxed tempo and is easy to sing, but without mindful dynamics it can sound quite flat, so take care.

As a track by an artist popular with teens, it’s a number you’ll want to keep in your repertoire for karaoke with peers.

ElfAdo62rank/position

[Ado] Elf

Ado, a female singer who consistently appears at the top of the Japanese music charts.

Given her overwhelming vocal prowess not only in the utaite community but across the J-pop scene, teenage girls who aren’t confident singers might not even think to try her songs in the first place.

For those listeners, we recommend Elf.

Among Ado’s tracks, this one has a relatively narrow vocal range, and it doesn’t feature the dramatic vocal lines that alternate repeatedly between falsetto and chest voice.

It’s also a big hit at karaoke, so be sure to check it out.

I Want to Eat Naan (feat. Yuki Kaai)Yukopi63rank/position

Yukopi – I Want to Eat Naan (feat. Kaa Yuki)

Composer Yukopi, known for a comical and surreal style, leaves a strong impression.

Yukopi, who has created many hit songs such as “Strong Wind All Back” and “Buta Thunder,” now presents a new track: “I Want to Eat Naan (feat.

Kaai Yuki).” True to Yukopi’s music, it’s arranged with a very simple tone.

Compared to previous works, this piece has a much narrower vocal range, so even those who can’t sing very high or very low should be able to sing it without any trouble.
