Aim for a high score! A collection of easy-to-sing karaoke songs recommended for high school students
When karaoke has a scoring feature, you can’t help wanting to go for a high score, right?
I’m sure many of you enjoy competing for high scores with your friends.
This time, for high school students who love karaoke, I’ve selected some songs that seem relatively easy to sing and good for aiming at high scores.
The key to getting a high score at karaoke is, above all else, to memorize the melody and rhythm (note values) accurately!
If you want to aim for a high score, listen closely to the guide melody, memorize it, and then try singing.
If you’re thinking, “There’s no way I can memorize all that,” one trick might be to turn up the guide melody volume so it’s easier to hear while you sing.
Some of the individual song introduction articles also include advice specifically for getting high scores, so be sure to use this article as a reference and get a leg up on your friends!

Aim for a high score! A roundup of easy-to-sing karaoke songs recommended for high school students (1–10)
LemonYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu’s eighth single overall, released in March 2018.
Not limited to this song, many of Yonezu’s tracks are great picks when you want to aim for a high karaoke score.
His own singing is relatively straightforward and unadorned, without strong quirks, so as long as you pay attention to how you use falsetto and how you switch between falsetto and chest voice, it should be easy for just about anyone to sing.
If the high notes are tough or you’re not confident with falsetto, try lowering the key by two or three semitones.
Future is YoursSambomasutā
This is Sambomaster’s 23rd single, released in August 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for Toho’s distributed animated film “New Dimension! Crayon Shin-chan THE MOVIE: Battle of Supernatural Powers — Fly, Fly, Hand-rolled Sushi.” It’s an upbeat, lively pop-rock track that’s fun to listen to! The vocal melody is very simple, and the range used isn’t very wide, so you could call this an essential song when you want to score high at karaoke.
Just be careful not to fall behind the rhythm and beat, or rush the singing.
pedestrian overpassNogizaka 46
Among the Sakamichi Series groups, Nogizaka46 boasts overwhelming popularity.
While the lineup now differs greatly from the early days due to graduations, their appeal remains strong, and they’re a top choice for karaoke as well.
Of all Nogizaka46’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Hodōkyō (Pedestrian Bridge).
True to Nogizaka’s signature catchiness, it features a vocal line that’s easy to sing throughout.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYback number
It’s back number’s 20th single, released in February 2019.
Ballad-style songs are often good candidates when you want to aim for a high score in karaoke, since it’s less likely you’ll fall behind the rhythm.
However, one thing to be careful about is that because the tempo is slow, you need to hold your pitch steadily on long notes.
In this song, pay particular attention to maintaining pitch on the many long tones in the chorus and to how you use falsetto at the beginning of the chorus.
Whether you can nail those points will be the key to getting a high score with this song.
It’s love, right?wacci
This is the 21st digital-only single by the Japanese pop-rock band wacci, released in April 2022.
It was written specifically as an insert song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama series “A Chronicle of the Aristocratic Family” (Yangotonaki Ichizoku) and was reportedly released for streaming the day after the drama’s first broadcast.
Incidentally, it won an Excellence Award at the 64th Japan Record Awards.
The song has a relaxed, medium tempo, and the vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, so it should be easy for anyone to sing and makes it easier to aim for a high score.
The rhythm has a slight bounce to it, so be careful not to let it become too flat.
mirageNogizaka 46
Produced by Yasushi Akimoto, this is a song released in the summer of 2017 by the idol group Nogizaka46, which began activities in 2011.
As an idol group, there are many singers, but it works great whether one person sings all the parts or everyone splits the parts—either way, it’s sure to get the crowd going.
With its four-on-the-floor beat and the chorus’s big sing-along feel, it’s an upbeat track that’s really satisfying to sing.
There, thereKANA-BOON
KANA-BOON is a band that has continued to stay popular for many years with their upbeat melodies and lyrics.
While they’re considered a mid-career act among Japanese rock bands, they’re still active on the front lines, so even high school students have probably heard their songs.
Among KANA-BOON’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Horarara.” It’s a somewhat uptempo song, but the pitch movement is simple, making it easy to stay in tune.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
