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

I’m your girlfriend starting today.Yumcha

Yumcha: “From today, I’m your girlfriend.” [Lyric Video]

An enigmatic singer-songwriter, Yumcha.

With a voice that sounds like a teenage girl and a cute, upbeat style, she’s been winning a lot of fans.

Among Yumcha’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “From Today, I’m Your Girlfriend.” Because of its high energy, you might think it requires a wide upper range, but the overall range isn’t that broad, so as long as you set the key properly, you should be able to sing it without issue.

The vocal line does have a fair number of words, but there are plenty of rests built in, so there’s no need to worry about not having time to catch your breath.

Singer-songwriter eill, who has gained popularity for her sophisticated musicality, draws influence from overseas music and is known for her smooth vocal lines that are uncommon in J-pop.

Among her works, the track I especially recommend is “fortnight.” Since it incorporates elements of Western music, it takes a bit of skill to lock into the groove; however, the vocal line itself has a narrow range and gentle contours, making it undeniably easy to sing.

Reira Shio is a female singer-songwriter known for melodies influenced by Western music.

Among her works, which have seen remarkable success since 2022, the song I particularly recommend to teenage girls for its singability is “Earring.” This piece features a gentle, country-pop-like melody, and the vocal line is easy to sing with gradual pitch movements.

The range isn’t especially wide; it’s centered around the mid-register, making it comfortable to sing for teenage girls.

Yukichi Award-Winning/men – Half-Ripe Thoughts (Music Video)

Singer-songwriter Yukichi Kousaku/men, who has won popularity with a uniquely original musical style.

Characterized by a distinctive techno sound infused with ambient elements, she consistently releases striking tracks with a musicality unlike anything else.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Hanjukukou.

Throughout the piece, the vocal range is narrow and there are no long sustained notes.

What’s more, in the chorus the track takes precedence over the vocal line, making it easy to sing—you can even catch your breath during the hook.

Medicine / “Yuika” [MV]

Yuika’s popular song “Okusuri.” Because it’s frequently used on TikTok and Instagram, many of you have probably heard it before.

Listening to this track, which gives the impression of having a high vocal range, some people might feel they can’t picture getting a perfect score.

However, the song’s range is surprisingly narrow, and if you match the key properly, you can definitely aim for a high score.

The vocal line isn’t intense, and there are no sudden jumps in pitch, so you can maintain solid pitch control.

Singer-songwriter Riria, who enjoys overwhelming popularity among teenage girls.

She has many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Shitsuren Song Taku-san Kiite Naite Bakari no Watashi wa Mou.” Released in 2024, this track was followed by an acoustic version the next year.

Since it’s even slower than the original, you can sing it while taking your time to prepare for the tricky parts.

The vocal range is moderate, leaning somewhat toward the upper-mid to high register, but the pitch movement itself is gentle, making it perfect for aiming for a 100-point score.

Among the Sakamichi groups, the idol group Keyakizaka46 is especially known for its stylish musicality.

While many of their songs are complex, their newly released track “Nothing special” is different.

It’s a mid-tempo piece with an impressive, grand arrangement, but it features numerous rests and gently flowing pitch movement, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

The vocal range isn’t exactly narrow, yet it doesn’t go particularly high either, so in many respects it can be considered a very singable song.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
