Karaoke songs that are easy and fun for high school students to sing
Compared to today’s songs, older tracks didn’t pack in as many words.
Because of that, many of them were, on the surface, easier to sing than modern songs.
That doesn’t mean today’s songs are necessarily harder, though.
Since recent songs tend to cram in more words, it’s actually easier to disguise flaws, so depending on the track, some can be quite easy for anyone to sing well.
This time, I’ve picked out songs from that category that I especially recommend for high school students.
We’ll be featuring the latest tracks, so be sure to check it out to the end!
Karaoke songs that are easy and fun for high schoolers to sing (1–10)
Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is a band with overwhelming support from young people.
I think many high school students are big fans.
However, their songs are all quite challenging—the difficulty is off the charts for those who struggle with high notes.
That’s why I recommend Bitter Vacation.
Unlike most of Mrs.’s songs, this one has a relatively narrow vocal range.
Even if you’re not good at falsetto, you can sing it, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
NEW LOOKMISAMO
MISAMO is a unit that has gained popularity for their captivating looks and performances.
Formed around TWICE’s Japanese members Mina, Sana, and Momo, the unit enjoys immense popularity in Japan.
Their track “NEW LOOK” is their latest song.
While it has a stylish musicality, the vocal lines are surprisingly simple.
There’s a part in the chorus that leans slightly toward mixed voice, but since it doesn’t require much volume, it’s actually relatively easy to sing.
If you find it difficult, try lowering the key to adjust.
Blue Springback number
This is the seventh single by the Japanese rock band back number, released in November 2012.
I chose this song because it has a light, medium-tempo feel that seems easy to sing.
But listening again, the vocalist, Shimizu, has quite impressive singing ability.
He doesn’t have a superhuman range or a voice and projection that overwhelms listeners with a single note.
However, his handling of the fairly wide interval leaps in the chorus is noteworthy.
For those who aren’t confident singers, lowering the key might be essential to sing this at karaoke.
Before singing, it’s best to listen carefully to the original, study the breathing points and set an appropriate key.
If possible, memorizing the lyrics beforehand may also make it easier to sing.
Love SongGReeeeN
This is a song released by GReeeeN in 2007 that is still loved by many people.
It was GReeeeN’s first love song and was featured in numerous commercials and TV programs.
Its heartrending melody is unforgettable after just one listen, and since there’s no rap part, it’s an easy song to sing.
I can’t learn to like myself.Sakurazaka46
Keyakizaka46, a Sakurazaka-series group known for their stylish musicality, continues to be especially popular among younger audiences and consistently ranks high on the charts.
Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is “I Can’t Learn to Love Myself.” It features a catchy, easy-to-sing vocal line and doesn’t require a wide vocal range.
If you control your pitch well, you can aim for a high score, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
AzaleaYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu is a nationally beloved singer-songwriter admired by a wide range of generations, from high school students to working adults.
He has many great songs, but the one I especially recommend for karaoke is his new track, Azalea.
It has an overall downbeat vibe, and accordingly the vocal line is kept calm and restrained.
The falsetto in the final chorus is the tricky part, so if you find it difficult, use that section as your benchmark and lower the key to adjust.
mermaidSuiyōbi no Campanella
Wednesday Campanella is a music unit known for its authentic techno sound, comical lyrics, and cute vocals.
They’re a rare type of group that’s highly regarded by both music enthusiasts and the general public.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Mermaid.
While this song features stronger vocal elements than their previous work, the difficulty of the vocal lines is kept relatively low—as is typical for the techno genre.
Try singing with a clear sense of contrast and dynamics; it will help you sound better.
