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 school students to sing (21–30)

cherrysupittsu

A classic karaoke song that everyone knows, released by Spitz in 1996.

Although it wasn’t tied to any promotion, it became a million-seller and remains a beloved masterpiece sung by people of all ages to this day.

All the chorus parts were also performed by the vocalist, Masamune Kusano.

SaudadePorunogurafiti

Porno Graffitti 'Saudade' (“OPEN MUSIC CABINET” Live in Saitama Super Arena 2007) / 'Saudade (Live Ver.)'
SaudadePorunogurafiti

A signature hit by Porno Graffitti released in 2000.

The key is a bit high for male singers, but the flowing melody sticks with you after just one listen and is easy to learn.

There are parts that are almost like tongue twisters, giving the song a lot of drive, and you’ll likely feel refreshed after singing it through—it’s a great track for blowing off steam.

First NightYorushika

Yorushika is a musical duo known for their ennui-tinged sound and abstract, thought-provoking lyrics.

If you’re a high school student, you’ve probably heard them at least once—they’re a very famous act, and I imagine many of you are fans.

Among Yorushika’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “First Night.” This piece features the quiet, crystal-clear melodies that are common in Yorushika’s works.

The vocal lines are consequently set at a relatively low difficulty.

The song also has a narrow vocal range, making it a good choice for those who struggle with high notes.

Fly awayPEDRO

PEDRO / Fly Away [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

PEDRO is the solo project of Ayuni D, a former member of BiSH.

Her musicality has drawn attention since her idol days, and she has continued to produce hit songs even after going solo.

Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is Tonde Yuke (“Fly Away”).

It’s an orthodox J-pop-style rock song, with every vocal line crafted into very singable phrases.

The vocal range is also narrow, so definitely give it a try.

CinderellaTomei

Tomei – Cinderella Covered in Ashes [Official Lyric Video]

Female singer-songwriter Toa, who gained nationwide popularity after singing the theme song for the film Suzume, has become especially popular among high school students who appreciate her musical style.

Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend is Haikaburi (Cinderella).

It stands out with a dark tone not found in her previous works.

Since most of the vocals are sung in a whisper-like manner, it should be manageable even for those who aren’t confident in long notes or vocal power.

astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN, beloved across generations for their one-of-a-kind musicality and the distinctive lyrics crafted by vocalist Motoo Fujiwara, have a signature song so iconic that it practically defines them: “Tentai Kansoku” (Stargazing).

It’s also a surefire hit at karaoke.

Chances are, everyone listening will end up humming along together.

The intro features eight guitars, whose tones are used to depict shooting stars.

This is a renowned song by Sakurako Ohara released in 2015, which was also chosen as a support song for the National High School Soccer Championship.

With this song, Ohara made her first appearance on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s an uplifting anthem featuring straightforward lyrics and a gentle melody, highlighted by Ohara’s clear yet powerful vocals.
