A roundup of karaoke songs perfect for teenage girls

Double Double FIGHT!CANDY TUNE

[MV] CANDY TUNE “Bai Bai FIGHT!”

CANDY TUNE is an idol group from ASOBISYSTEM, currently the hottest idol agency.

They specialize in pop and cute tunes, with releases from 2023.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Bai-Bai FIGHT!” It’s popular on TikTok, so I think many high schoolers are familiar with it.

While the track has a lot of spoken-style phrases that give it a rap-like element, it’s actually very easy to sing in terms of following the pitch.

The overall vibe is poppy, and the vocal range—mid1 G♯ to hi D—isn’t excessively wide, so as long as you can handle the talk-like delivery, you should be able to sing it without issues.

It’s fantastic for getting the crowd hyped, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

@onefive “Alps Vibes” Official Music Video

This is a boldly arranged take on the children’s song “Alps Ichiman-jaku”! I’d be happy if there are teens who know the original or the hand game—do you all know it? The A and B sections have no nursery-rhyme elements at all, but from the chorus the hand-clap rhythm of “Alps Ichiman-jaku” is woven in, so watch out for the shift in tempo and vibe! Keep the off-beats in mind and sing with a good groove—that’s the key! The range isn’t too low or too high, so it should be easy to sing without straining your voice.

Since the rhythm and feel change between the chorus’s nursery-rhyme part and the original sections, it might help to learn them almost as separate songs: for the nursery-rhyme part, be energetic and articulate your words clearly; for the original parts, keep the rhythm light and let it flow like natural speech.

Is being cute not enough?CUTIE STREET

[MV] CUTIE STREET "Isn't it enough to be just cute?"

CUTIE STREET, the idol group that’s all the rage right now.

They’re not just popular with men—many women are fans too—so I think a lot of high schoolers know them.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Is Being Cute Not Enough?”.

Thanks in part to its huge popularity on TikTok, the pre-chorus hook line and the chorus melody are incredibly addictive.

The highest note is a slightly high hi D#, but since it only appears in the final chorus, as long as you set the key with that section in mind, it shouldn’t be difficult to sing overall.

An idol group that has gained popularity with a music style and aesthetic fully devoted to uniquely Japanese cuteness, Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu.

Because they are known as successors to Momoiro Clover Z and Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, I think any high school otaku well-versed in idol culture would know them.

Their song “Cho Saikyo” is a signature piece of theirs.

While it gives a pop impression, the vocal range is not that wide at mid2C to hiC♯, and the vocal lines don’t have abrupt pitch jumps, so it’s relatively easy.

Star‑mineHatsuboshi Academy

Hatsuboshi Academy “Star-mine” Official Music Video (Hatsuboshi Gakuen – Star-mine)

Gakuen Idolmaster is popular among teens and people in their twenties.

Many of my students play this game, and a lot of them have sung its songs in lessons.

This time, Star‑mine isn’t a solo track but a unit song! Overall, the key is comfortable for female voices, but the highest note is a high G# (G#5), which appears at the end of the chorus.

Hitting a high G# after continuous singing is quite challenging, but aim to produce it entirely in head voice—imagine sending the sound thinly upward, as if from above your head straight up—and make sure to support it with solid breath flow.

If it’s hard to do within the song, first practice producing just this note on its own.

Since it’s an idol song, it could be fun to gather fans of Gakumasu and split the parts! Enjoy singing it!

Campus mode!!Hatsuboshi Academy

Hatsuboshi Academy “Campus mode!!” Lyric Video (HATSUBOSHI GAKUEN – Campus mode!!) Short Size

“Campus mode!!” is a full-group song from Hatsuboshi Academy, a sparkling cheer anthem with “youth” as its theme! The lyrics and tempo are super energetic, making it perfect for teenage girls! Since multiple people sing the track, it might be tricky to perform solo, but if you have friends who like Hatsuboshi Academy, splitting parts and singing together would definitely be a blast! The tempo is a bit fast, and for the A and B sections, try singing as if you’re having an excited conversation—you’ll naturally get a bright tone.

For the chorus, crank the energy even higher and project your voice as if you’re reaching far; it’ll carry better, feel more idol-like, and be even more fun to sing! For the fast lines, it’s fine to enunciate each word clearly.

The earnestness will become a charm of the performance, so try singing as if you’ve become an idol yourself!

Almond ChocolateLLIT

[Spotify Exclusive] ILLIT 아일릿 ‘Almond Chocolate(Japanese ver.)’ | SBS INKIGAYO UNICON in TOKYO DOME

ILLIT is a K-pop group that’s rapidly gaining momentum.

The group name is pronounced “EYE-lit.” They’re particularly popular among teenagers, and one of their most beloved tracks is Almond Chocolate.

It’s an extremely cute, feminine song, but it features a lot of rests, allowing you to prepare properly before the high notes.

The range is fairly high, from mid1 F to high D#, but the abundance of rests makes it easier to handle the height, which is what makes this song easy to sing.

It’s a guaranteed hit with guys, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
