[Teens] Karaoke Popularity Rankings by Generation [2025]

Yorushika – First Night (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika is a duo that has gained popularity for their deep lyrics and ennui-tinged melodies.

I think every teenage girl has heard their music at least once.

Among Yorushika’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Daiichiya (First Night).

It’s a relaxed track that layers whisper-like vocals over the simple instrumentation characteristic of Yorushika.

The vocal range is fairly narrow and there aren’t many long sustained notes, so it’s an easy song to sing even for those who aren’t confident in their vocal power or lung capacity.

This song is a superb fusion of power and delicacy.

Released in January 2022, it became a hot topic after being chosen as the opening theme for a hugely popular anime.

Aimer’s clear, transparent vocals and the grand orchestration create a breathtaking soundscape.

It brilliantly conveys the story’s upheavals and the characters’ emotions, resonating deeply with listeners.

When singing it at karaoke, putting your feelings into the performance will bring out the song’s appeal even more.

It’s also a great choice for high school students looking to get pumped up with friends.

Is being cute not enough?CUTIE STREET45rank/position

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.

I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. Chuutan46rank/position

Sukicchu-no! feat. Chuutan (CV: Saori Hayami) / HoneyWorks

The classic song “Sukicchuu no!” by HoneyWorks and Chuutan.

Compared to the previous work “Kawaikute Gomen,” the coyness is toned down, but femininity is brought to the forefront.

Contrary to its pop impression, the range sits around mid2B to hiD, so it isn’t particularly low.

However, since the overall range is on the higher side, key adjustments will be necessary in most cases.

It’s a song that tends to be well-received by men, so if you’re a high school girl, consider adding it to your repertoire.

Gather round! Party people!Yabai T-Shirts Yasan47rank/position

Yabai T-Shirts Yasan – “Gather Around! Party People” Music Video [Major Version]

A rock band from Osaka, Yabai T-Shirts Yasan.

Their song “Atsumare! Party People” is, just like the title says, perfect when you want to enjoy karaoke with a party vibe.

True to punk rock, this uptempo track drives forward with energetic guitar strumming, and singing it will instantly boost your excitement! There are call-and-response parts from start to finish, so it’s great for getting everyone hyped—even people hearing it for the first time.

Since it’s not a particularly melodious song, you don’t need to worry if you’re not confident in your vocals.

Don’t overthink it—just sing and go all out!

Love♡Scream!AiScReam48rank/position

AiScReam “Love♡Scream!” Official Lyric Video

Right now, the work “Ai♡Scream!” is hugely popular on platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

Cutesy behavior can sometimes be irritating, but when it’s taken as far as it is in this piece, those feelings might not even arise.

Emphasizing femininity and a hyper-cutesy style to the extreme, this song is guaranteed to be a big hit at karaoke.

There are some spoken phrases, so you’ll need to nail the standard intonation there, but overall the vocal line isn’t particularly difficult.

If you focus on following the pitch, anyone should be able to sing it easily.

Yorushika – Hebi (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika is a unit that has produced many great songs.

You could say they’re one of the most popular acts among teenagers.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend for its popularity and ease of singing is Hebi (“Snake”).

The song’s vocal range is mid1E to hiA, which is quite narrow for a female song.

The pitch movement is also relatively gentle, so any junior high school girl should be able to sing it well.

It’s a song that appeals to both girls and boys, so be sure to check it out.
