Until this voice reaches youChiroru
A classic girls’ rock band, Chirol.
They’ll keep singing “until this voice reaches you.” It’s a powerful message.
With a slightly nostalgic rock vibe, it’s a song I’d recommend to those who used to enjoy youth punk and the like.
Why not let yourself be captivated by how cool they are?

As if reflecting countless hopes felt in youth onto the stars spread across the sky, this song, “Negai-goto,” is filled with wishes.
Youth is something faint and fleeting.
The intro, as though that star were falling like a shooting star, brings peace to the listener.
Her lively, spirited singing voice evokes hopes like countless stars.
fake girlJY
This is a song by Jiyoung, a former member of KARA.
It’s included on her first album, Many Faces ~Multiplicity~, released in 2017.
The lyrics express feelings for someone she likes in a very girlish way, and I think it will especially resonate with high school girls.
ultramarineYOASOBI
When singing karaoke with friends, it’s great to choose songs with a youth theme.
One recommendation is “Gunjou.” This song, released by YOASOBI in 2020, is also known as the set piece for a dance video project aimed at high school students.
The lyrics express both the hardships and the brilliance of dedicating yourself to something, so try singing it while reminiscing about your school days.
Keep the first half restrained, and adjust so that the pitch reaches its highest point in the final chorus.

The song, which captures the bittersweet feelings of youthful love, was released by Atarashii Gakko! in April 2023.
It’s a standout track that showcases their individuality by blending a Showa-era musical vibe with a modern dance style.
The song won the Grand Prize at the TikTok First Half Trend Awards 2023, winning over many hearts.
They also opened the show at the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, drawing significant attention.
Its nostalgic, easy-to-sing melody makes it enjoyable across generations.
How about performing it at karaoke with someone you’re interested in? It could be the perfect spark to get the conversation going.
StoryAI
This is a signature song by AI, an artist beloved across generations for her powerful, emotionally resonant vocals and expansive vibrato.
The song carries a message about walking together toward a bright future for two people, and it’s also a popular number for karaoke.
A gentle feelingChara
This is a classic song by Chara, known for her distinctive nasal singing style.
Her cute vocals are loved across generations, and with the current trend of returning to J-Pop roots, this track is enjoying a resurgence in popularity.
It’s a love-themed song, and lyrically I think it suits students well.
