[For Teens] Crowd-Pleasing Gag Songs for Karaoke

August 888 — This is way too much summerRecitals

Recitals – “Month 888 ~It’s Way Too Much Like Summer~” [Official Music Video]

Recitals is a music unit formed by three members of Tokai On Air: Tetsuya, Toshimitsu, and Shibayu.

Shibayu is in charge of the lyrics, and the unit’s charm lies in its wildly imaginative and hilarious writing—so much so that, compared to countless other comic songs, it not only holds its own but could even be said to surpass them.

Their well-known summer tune is “888th Month ~Summer Gone Too Far~.” The track itself is refreshing, but the lyrics are pretty out there, and even if you don’t know them, you’ll probably find yourself laughing at the absurd lines.

Me, looking my best—I'm unstoppable! (feat. Yurinya)

As the title suggests, it’s a positive song with lyrics that boost your self-esteem and help you love yourself! The range is comfortable, so even karaoke beginners can sing it with confidence, and it’s easy to get hyped at karaoke—singing with friends will make it even more fun.

When you sing, the chorus starts on A#4, so don’t push your voice; imagine singing lightly with a smile, which makes it easier to catch the groove and keep it sounding cute.

It might be best to sing as if you’ve actually become an idol! That way your facial muscles stay lifted, which prevents a throaty sound and lets you sing comfortably and pleasantly.

Also, waving your hand side to side like at a live concert helps you lock into the rhythm, so I recommend it!

Watch Me!YOASOBI

YOASOBI「Watch me!」Official Music Video

It’s a bright, electro-pop-leaning sound with a light beat and a chorus melody that really sticks in your head.

It’s a cute song that feels very YOASOBI, so I’d love for teenage girls to sing it energetically! By the way, it seems the English version was released on May 30, 2025.

Feel free to choose whichever language you like when you sing! The chorus is catchy and easy to remember, but the parts outside the chorus seem tricky… Rather than trying to memorize everything at once, let’s master it step by step.

The overall vocal range is G3–F5, and singing lightly with a bouncy feel without forcing your voice will match the song’s vibe.

If you keep time by tracing a circle with your hand from your brow to above your head while singing, it helps you relax and sing more lightly.

Bending your knees slightly to the rhythm at the same time will help you relax even more, so definitely give it a try!

According to JOYSOUND, the average score for “Moshimo” in August 2025 was 85.

670.

If you pay a bit more attention to pitch, I think you can raise it even further.

Since rhythm is very important in this song, it’s best to start by matching the timing slowly and accurately.

Rather than trying to sing the whole thing at once, practice section by section so it doesn’t get jumbled and is easier to memorize.

In parts with lots of words, clapping along, keeping the rhythm with your body, or speaking crisply will help you lock into the beat.

For the chorus, try swaying side to side as if you’re dancing; you’ll be able to sing more energetically, which helps you hit the high notes and project your voice.

Since it’s an idol song, the most important thing is to have fun singing it.

Singing with high energy makes it easier to project, so try singing with a smile!

@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.

“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!

More Berry SummerCUTIE STREET

[LIVE Footage] CUTIE STREET “More Berry Summer” 📍Makuhari Messe, International Exhibition Hall, Halls 9–11 (2025/7/21)

It’s a song packed with phrases about youth, friendship, and first love, so it really resonates with teenagers and is easy to sing in your own words.

It’s also performed at summer festivals and has lots of live-style callouts, so it should get everyone hyped at karaoke! The melody is catchy, and the vocal range doesn’t go that high.

Up to the chorus, there’s more call-and-response than “singing,” so enjoy it together with everyone, then switch to a “singing” mindset from the chorus to add dynamics and really bring the song to life.

For the high parts, try singing as if you’re sending your voice far away—your voice will come out more easily, so give it a try! And since the groove is key, the best way is to keep the rhythm with your body while you sing.
