Recommended for teenage girls! Easy-to-sing karaoke songs

Setting SunYorushika

YOASOBI – Setting Sun (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika is a musical duo that has gained popularity for their abstract yet catchy lyrics and their ennui-tinged sound.

I think any teenage girl would know them.

Among Yorushika’s works, one of the easiest songs to sing is “Shayō” (“Setting Sun”).

For a Yorushika track it’s relatively up-tempo, yet it still maintains an overall ennui-laden atmosphere.

The vocal line doesn’t use techniques like ad-libs or falls, making it very easy to sing.

Dogwood – Yo Hitoto (Full)

This is the fifth single by female singer Yo Hitoto, also known as an anti-war song born in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that shook the world.

It’s said to be the most-sung song of the Heisei era and has become a karaoke staple.

For teenagers, who weren’t yet born at the time of the 2001 attacks, it may be more strongly perceived as a love song about great, all-encompassing love.

Precisely because the world is rife with conflict, this is a song imbued with hope for the future—one we especially want to see carried on by young women in their teens.

planetariumAi Otsuka

Planetarium – Ai Otsuka (Full)

At big group karaoke, are ballads a no-go because they kill the vibe? No way! If a ballad is well-known and a great song, it can totally hype everyone up! One I especially recommend is Ai Otsuka’s “Planetarium.” It was used as an insert song in the hugely popular TV drama “Boys Over Flowers,” starring Mao Inoue and Jun Matsumoto from Arashi.

It’s an achingly bittersweet love song.

Even if you’re not into up-tempo tracks, with this one you can sing gently without worrying about the mood of the room!

NIPPONRingo Sheena

Sheena Ringo – NIPPON

This is the 14th single by singer-songwriter Ringo Sheena, who is also the central figure of the rock band Tokyo Jihen and commands a unique presence with her original lyrics and unforgettable voice and melodies.

Written as the theme song for NHK’s soccer-related programs, the track features a distinctive intro that evokes a Japanese rhythm, followed by a brisk, exhilarating tempo.

Among Ringo Sheena’s songs—which are often difficult to sing—this one is relatively easy, making it a good entry point for teenage girls who really want to sing her songs at karaoke.

With a driving quality that feels like a tailwind, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleasing rock tune for karaoke.

Ringo Sheena and ATARASHII GAKKO! – Draft Pick No. 1 Runaway Lead

Lately, singer Ringo Sheena has been making waves with her collaborations.

Her joint work with the buzzworthy idol group Atarashii Gakko! is this track, “Dora-1 Dokusou” (Draft Pick No.

1 Runaway).

It’s a rock song infused with kayōkyoku flavor, and its musicality strikingly recalls Sheena’s earlier style.

With the recent revival boom, I think many teenage girls are taking an interest in kayōkyoku as well.

If that’s you, definitely try singing this one!

ultramarineYoh Kamiyama

Yoh Kamiyama – Gunjō [Music Video] / Yoh Kamiyama – Ultramarine

With a refreshing feel like a flowing blue sky that lifts your spirits, “Gunjō” is the perfect karaoke song for teenage girls.

Released as a major debut single, it was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Drifting Dragons.

Yoh Kamiyama’s clear, translucent voice is soothing to the ear, and the adventurous spirit and positive energy in the lyrics will help you forget your everyday worries.

Its simple melody makes it easy to sing and a guaranteed hit for karaoke with friends.

Enjoy the exhilarating sensation of soaring freely through the sky.

crescent moonAyaka

Ayaka – Crescent Moon

Her husband is that handsome actor, Hiro Mizushima.

This is Ayaka’s 4th single, “Mikazuki.” It was a huge hit and was performed on NHK’s Kohaku Uta Gassen, and it’s one of her signature songs.

The theme is a long-distance relationship, with a positive message: “We’re connected when we look at the moon.” I think it’s a song where you can fully bring out femininity.

It’s a slow ballad, but it has subtle musical shifts, so be sure to follow them closely.

If you sing it with rich expression, you’ll really move the hearts of the guys, too.
