[For Teen Boys] A Collection of Songs That Score High at Karaoke [2025]

music writerKOH-1
Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

Compared to songs from a while back, many popular J-pop tracks from the late Heisei to Reiwa era have complex structures and melodies.

A lot of teens may feel, “I want to score high at karaoke, but it’s hard…” Of course, what’s easy to sing varies from person to person, but this time we’ve curated a list of relatively easy-to-sing songs that tend to score well at karaoke, aimed at teenage boys.

We’ve selected popular numbers centered on hits from the Reiwa period, while also including a few slightly nostalgic tracks, so they’re all great for getting the energy up at karaoke.

We’ve also included songs that are approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers, so be sure to check them out.

Ride the sound so intensely it hurts — Sugaaya Ayame

A newcomer artist whose breathy vocals and catchy sound are rapidly gaining momentum, Yua Sugaya.

He already has a few hit tunes under his belt, but the one I especially recommend is “Ride the Sound Till It Hurts.” It’s a bright, upbeat track, yet surprisingly the vocal line’s pitch movement is gentle, and the long tones aren’t all that long.

If you track the pitch accurately, it’s a song where you can easily aim for a perfect score.

Predator AKASAKI

Starting her career as a singer-songwriter at the young age of 16, AKASAKI skyrocketed to fame when her 2024 release “Bunny Girl” became a massive viral hit.

Her songs, woven from the fresh sensibility unique to a teenager, a mature perspective, and outstanding songwriting talent, are all remarkable—so much so that not only her peers but also working adults in their 20s and beyond will find themselves wanting to sing them at karaoke.

The same goes for “Predator,” released in May 2025: it’s a killer tune that showcases AKASAKI’s signature taste, deftly blending a J-pop vibe reminiscent of the early Heisei era with a stylish, 2020s feel.

Its catchy hook will have you humming along after just one listen.

When singing it at karaoke, try delivering it lightly without overexerting, but avoid sounding too flat—be mindful of your breathing spots and aim for a smooth, flowing performance!

Freesia Marcy

In 2024, Marcy achieved a milestone by performing at the sacred Nippon Budokan, cementing their status as one of Japan’s leading young bands.

Their lyrics, which capture delicate emotional shifts that resonate with many in the younger generation, and their poignant, melodically sung masterpieces are also very popular at karaoke.

That said, the melodies sung by Ukyo Yoshida’s high-tone voice can seem difficult… For those who feel that way, we recommend Freesia, set for release in April 2025.

Its vocal range is relatively narrow, and it doesn’t require extremely high notes, making it approachable even for singers with lower voices.

Try singing it with enough conviction to fully convey the protagonist’s feelings, and deliver it with emotion.

In conclusion

As mentioned at the beginning, recent J-pop often has very complex structures, unconventional chord progressions and melodies, and can be tough to sing at karaoke.

The songs I introduced this time are relatively easy to sing, and with practice you can aim for high scores at karaoke.

If you’re not particular about sticking to recent songs, I also recommend deliberately choosing easy-to-sing hit songs from the Showa to Heisei eras—the kind that were popular with your parents’ generation!
