Recommended Japanese pop songs for elementary school students to sing at karaoke

Bunny GirlAKASAKI

[AKASAKI] Bunny Girl (Lyric Video)

The classic hit “Bunny Girl,” which became a nationwide sensation in 2024.

It’s a breakout number by the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI, winning overwhelming support from young people, especially on TikTok and Instagram.

Even most upper-grade elementary school students will likely recognize it.

With a range of mid1 C to mid2 E, it boasts one of the narrowest vocal ranges in J-pop, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. Chuutan

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

HoneyWorks is a music unit that has produced many hit numbers.

The list of memorable songs is endless, but recently, “Sukicchu-no!” may be fresh in your memory.

As a collaboration with Chuutan, it has a deliberately cute vibe, but surprisingly, its vocal range is narrow, so elementary school girls can sing it without any problem.

Since the key can be raised and lowered quite a bit, it’s easy to sing for students from lower to upper grades.

Charisma of ArroganceUNISON SQUARE GARDEN

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “Bojyaku no Charisma” Music Video

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN is a legendary band in the anisong scene.

They’ve built a solid career, and since they keep creating theme songs for anime, I think many elementary school students know them as well.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Bojaku no Charisma.” It’s sung within a relatively narrow range, from mid1 G# to high C#, and it doesn’t include any rapid-fire phrases.

While it’s a bit on the high side, it’s actually a vocal range that might be easier for elementary school kids to sing.

According to JOYSOUND, the average score for “Moshimo” in August 2025 was 85.

670.

If you pay a bit more attention to pitch, I think you can raise it even further.

Since rhythm is very important in this song, it’s best to start by matching the timing slowly and accurately.

Rather than trying to sing the whole thing at once, practice section by section so it doesn’t get jumbled and is easier to memorize.

In parts with lots of words, clapping along, keeping the rhythm with your body, or speaking crisply will help you lock into the beat.

For the chorus, try swaying side to side as if you’re dancing; you’ll be able to sing more energetically, which helps you hit the high notes and project your voice.

Since it’s an idol song, the most important thing is to have fun singing it.

Singing with high energy makes it easier to project, so try singing with a smile!

Angel and DemonGRe4N BOYZ

GRe4N BOYZ / “Angel & Devil” Anime ONE PIECE Opening Theme Song

The anime One Piece has been loved for many years.

Because it’s such a long-running series, the theme song changes every few cours.

The song Tenshi to Akuma (Angel and Devil) is the latest opening theme.

It’s by GRe4N BOYZ, but it doesn’t feature much of their signature high tones.

While the overall range is on the higher side, it’s not extremely wide, so it’s actually a song that’s relatively easy for young elementary school children with youthful voices to sing.

Mission! Health Number OneRED BLOOD CELL

Mission! Health Number One

The anime Cells at Work! gained attention for its original concept of turning the inside of the human body into a story.

Its medical supervision is solid, and some scholars even recommend it for educational purposes.

The song Mission! Health Comes First is the opening theme of Cells at Work!, with a pop vibe.

The vocal range is narrow and there aren’t many long sustained notes, so as long as you can handle the macrophage part’s spoken-style lines, it can be considered a very low-difficulty piece.

Soliloquy MV [Chiikawa MAD] [Music Video]

Chiikawa is a popular anime loved by a wide range of people, from elementary school children to adults.

The song “Hitorigotsu” is sung by Hachiware, a character in the series.

Given the time slot it airs in, most elementary schoolers have probably heard it at least once.

The piece is characterized by a very simple vocal line.

The pitch movement is very gentle and the range is quite narrow, so even upper-grade students whose voices may be unstable due to voice change can sing it without any problem.
