[Teens] Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers Ranking [2025]

Is being cute not enough?CUTIE STREET57rank/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.

Effeminate / Golden Bomber – Music Video

This song, the signature track of the unconventional visual kei air band affectionately known as “Kinbaku,” is now a karaoke staple that everyone knows.

It gets even more exciting if everyone joins in the band’s unique air-band-style choreography while singing.

It’s customary in this song to perform during the guitar solo.

We are!Hiroshi Kitadani59rank/position

TV Anime “ONE PIECE” 1000th Episode Commemoration: We Are!

This was Hiroshi Kitadani’s debut song and a massive hit.

Of course, it’s the theme song of the anime One Piece, which every teen loves.

The track has won awards such as the Theme Song Award at the 5th Animation Kobe Awards and the Composition Award at the Heisei Anisong Grand Prize.

No matter how many times you listen, it gives you courage and energy.

Like Luffy, the main character, whose personality, warmth, and sense of justice attract more and more crewmates, we’d all love to make more friends.

Listen to it in the morning and it might power you through the day—it’s the perfect song to boost your motivation!

NiziU(니쥬) Digital Single 「ASOBO」 M/V

This is a song by the girl group NiziU that evokes a rising sense of excitement, as if heading toward something fun.

The track features a beat that highlights the group’s signature dance style, incorporating percussion with a Latin flavor that adds a vibrant atmosphere and enhances the song’s core concept of enjoyment.

Its message encourages approaching everyday life with a playful spirit, suggesting that with the intention to have fun, the daily scenery looks different.

It’s a song that conjures the image of throwing oneself wholeheartedly into enjoying the ordinary days.

Yūki Chiba – Team Tomodachi (Official Music Video)

I think today’s middle school students are closer to hip-hop than any generation before them.

Among them, many middle school heads are probably listening to trap music, which leads the times.

What I recommend is Team Tomodachi.

This track is a hit number by Yuki Chiba, aka KOHH, that gained worldwide popularity.

It’s laid back in trap style, so the flow is very simple.

Even those not used to rapping should have no problem performing it.

《A》BEGINNINGAee! group62rank/position

Aぇ! group “《A》BEGINNING” Official Music Video – Streaming Ver. –

A song by Aぇ! group, themed around the challenge and determination of a new era and radiating an energetic, forward-looking attitude, was released on May 15, 2024.

Packed with the members’ powerful messages about pushing past personal limits to carve out the future, it’s a track that conveys a strong will to overcome any obstacle.

The dynamic sound is seriously cool, too.

It’s a must-listen for anyone about to take a new step.

The release comes in four formats: Limited Edition A, Limited Edition B, Regular Edition, and a UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE Exclusive Edition.

Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu / “Super Strongest” Music Video

An idol group that has gained popularity with a music style and aesthetic fully devoted to uniquely Japanese cuteness, Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu.

Because they are known as successors to Momoiro Clover Z and Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, I think any high school otaku well-versed in idol culture would know them.

Their song “Cho Saikyo” is a signature piece of theirs.

While it gives a pop impression, the vocal range is not that wide at mid2C to hiC♯, and the vocal lines don’t have abrupt pitch jumps, so it’s relatively easy.
