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

snakeYorushika

Yorushika – Hebi (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika is a music duo that captures the hearts of young people with a wide musical range, from ennui-tinged tracks to pop songs.

Any woman in her twenties probably knows them, don’t you think? Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Hebi (Snake).

This piece is among the narrower vocal-range works in Yorushika’s catalog, with a vocal line that remains relatively even throughout.

There are also few long sustained notes and a fair number of rests, making it possible to aim for high scores even if your fundamental singing ability isn’t very strong.

Pink PunchNo Murasaki

Noashi (noa) – Pink Punch [Official Music Video]

Singer-songwriter Noyuri, who’s energizing the scene with her unique musical style.

She always puts out distinctive tracks, and her new song “Pink Punch” is no exception—it’s a pop-rock piece brimming with originality.

While the production leans somewhat loud, the vocal range is fairly narrow, and the vocal line is kept simple with a wistful mood that evokes Showa-era kayōkyoku.

It’s definitely a song that makes it easy to aim for a high score.

First Love KillerNo Murasaki

Noashi (noa) – First Love Killer [Official Music Video]

Singer-songwriter Noashi, who has gained popularity with her offbeat melodies and lyrics that resonate strongly with women.

She’s known for her genreless musical style, releasing songs with a different vibe from her previous work each time.

Speaking of her signature tracks, wouldn’t it be “Hatsukoi Killer” (First Love Killer)? While the song carries a slightly retro, Showa-era feel, its fresh production keeps it from sounding outdated.

The vocals incorporate some rap, and because the range is very narrow, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.

It also goes over well at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

vip?Natsuko Nisshoku

Nisshoku Natsuko – ‘vip?’ Official Music Video

Nisshoku Natsuko is known as a singer-songwriter who accompanies herself on piano.

Her appeal lies in a worldview that, while grounded in lyrics that feel like slices of everyday life, also carries a touch of Ghibli-like fantasy in its melodies.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is “vip?”.

It’s a very languid piece with a fairly narrow vocal range; although there are many long tones in the vocal line, the pitch movement itself is gently contoured.

It’s basically an easy song, but the voltage rises a bit in the C section, so be sure to carefully determine the appropriate key.

Caramel PainHoshimachi Suisei

Caramel Pain / Suisei Hoshimachi (official)

Right now, one of the most active VTubers in the music scene is Suisei Hoshimachi.

She’s a vocalist who needs no introduction as a representative of hololive.

Her songs are typically known for their smooth, high-speed switches between falsetto and chest voice, but Caramel Pain is different.

There is some falsetto, but it only appears at key moments, and there are no phrases that rapidly alternate between chest voice and falsetto.

On top of that, the chorus sits in a fairly narrow range, so even those who can’t sustain high notes continuously should be able to sing it without any trouble.

I want to be lovedYumcha

Yumcha “Aisaretai” [Lyric Video]

Singer-songwriter Yumcha, whose lyrics about the hearts of women have made her popular among women in their teens and twenties.

Because she has many pop songs, many people mistakenly assume there are lots of high-pitched parts.

That’s why we recommend this track, “Aisaretai.” Compared to her other songs, this one has a relatively narrow vocal range, centered in the mid-to-high register.

As long as you choose an appropriate key, you shouldn’t have any concerns about vocal production.

In addition, the vocal line rises and falls much more gently than in typical pop songs, making it easy to sing in that respect as well.

KSKDAIGO

DAIGO「K S K」MV（Web Size Version）

This is the song BREAKERZ’s DAIGO sang at his wedding reception with Keiko Kitagawa.

Marriage might still feel like a distant topic for girls in their teens, but listening to this song will probably make you yearn for it even more.

Since it’s a song everyone knows, it’s perfect for karaoke.
