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

tobacco / cigarette(s)Koresawa

Koresawa “Tobacco” [Music Video]

Koresawa, an artist born in 1992, is a female singer known for not showing her face on TV and for her signature bear costume.

Her song “Tabako” (Cigarette) is a bittersweet breakup tune.

The lyrics, which recall a lover through cigarettes, are heartrending.

In settings like karaoke with people you’re not very close to, singing a breakup song might feel awkward.

But a setlist of only upbeat songs can get dull.

Koresawa’s “Tabako” is familiar to many and tells a relatable story, so it should work well in all kinds of situations.

Golden Bomber “Memeshikute” Music Video

This is the sixth single by Golden Bomber, a four-member band that created the one-of-a-kind genre of “visual kei air band” and has earned high praise for the quality of their songs.

It’s also known as Golden Bomber’s signature track, as they performed it for four consecutive years from 2012 to 2015 on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

With catchy choreography—starting with the window-wiping dance—it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped at karaoke with friends.

The key is on the higher side for the average male, making it an easy and recommended number for teenage girls to sing.

Blue BenchSasuke

Blue Bench / Sasuke

This is the debut single by Sasuke, a male duo from Saitama Prefecture formed by high school classmates.

The song became their signature track, creating a legend in their indie days by selling 5,000 copies at a single store.

It’s a staple for junior and senior high school choir competitions, and since it appeared in music textbooks in 2008, many teenage girls may be familiar with it.

Although it sounds difficult due to the wide interval jumps in the chorus, the tempo isn’t particularly fast, so it becomes fun to sing despite the challenge.

The harmonies are beautiful as well, making it a great karaoke song to enjoy with friends.

That gentle girlSpitz

Spitz / That Gentle Girl

This song was used as the theme for the NHK morning drama Natsuzora.

It’s a bright, gentle tune that softly settles into your ears when you wake up—perfect for a morning drama.

It has a vibe that only Spitz can create.

The vocalist, Masamune Kusano, has a uniquely tender voice that never deteriorates no matter how much he ages.

In a large-group karaoke setting, I think it’s totally fine to sing songs originally by male artists.

This particular track doesn’t use an extremely high or low range, so it’s easy to sing.

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.

Yorushika – Ghost in a Flower (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

When it comes to karaoke songs for teenage girls, isn’t Yorushika a must? Their track “Hana ni Bourei” was released in April 2020 as their third digital single, and it also served as the theme song for the animated film “A Whisker Away.” It’s a gentle song with a nostalgic feel that brings back memories of childhood days—one that makes anyone suddenly recall a summer from long ago.

As a karaoke pick, its relaxed tempo makes it easy to sing, too.

March 9Remioromen

Remioromen – March 9th (Music Video Short ver.)

Remioromen’s classic “March 9th” is famous as a graduation song.

In fact, it was originally written for the wedding of a mutual friend of the band members.

Still, its lyrics that evoke a sense of “future” make it perfect for graduation season too.

When you feel sad about parting ways with friends you’ve spent so much time with, this song can make you feel like, “I’ll do my best.” Since it’s sung by a male vocalist, the verses are low, but because it’s such a well-known graduation song, it’s also recommended for women.

Try raising the key a bit when you sing it.
