Recommended karaoke songs for teenage girls: classic and popular J-pop hits.

Ayaka – Crescent Moon

Ayaka’s “Mikazuki” is a love ballad themed around a long-distance relationship.

However, it’s said that these lyrics were actually written about her feelings for a dear friend with whom she had spent so much time, as she left her hometown to move to Tokyo.

It might also be nice to sing it with the feeling of “let’s both do our best,” thinking of a close friend you’ve grown apart from after graduating school.

Kana Nishino 'Torisetsu' MV (Short Ver.)

The lyrics are like an instruction manual for how to handle a girl, and everything about it—the words and the melody—is just unbelievably cute.

If you sing this in front of guys and it helps them understand how girls feel, that would be perfect.

I think it’s a song that’s sure to make you popular if you sing it at karaoke.

Star LablationKera-kera (giggling/laughing)

Kerakera – Star Liberation

This is Star Love Ration by Kerakera, the theme song for the Fuji TV drama Last Cinderella.

The title is Kerakera’s original coined word combining “star” (sparkle), “love” (romance), and “vibration” (heartbeat).

Just like the title, it’s a love song that cheers on sparkling, heart-throbbing romance.

Singer-songwriter tuki.

, who has earned overwhelming popularity since her teens.

She recently drew attention due to a face-reveal controversy, so many of you may still remember the buzz.

Her new song is Seesaw.

This track, arranged as orthodox J-POP, sits mostly in the midrange throughout.

There are moments of falsetto, but the lines themselves aren’t particularly high; she’s simply choosing to sing them in falsetto.

So even those who lack confidence in their vocal range can sing it with ease.

All of the Youthsuis from Yorushika

suis from Yorushika “All the Young People” Music Video

The popular music duo Yorushika.

While they may not be a group that defines the generation of women in their 30s, their easy-to-listen-to sound likely has many fans among them.

What I’d like to recommend is “Wakamono no Subete,” sung by suis, Yorushika’s vocalist.

This work is a cover of a song by Fujifabric, and the vocal line is even calmer than the original.

Even among recent Japanese pop songs, it has a particularly narrow vocal range, so women with lower voices should be able to sing it without any issues.
