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 karaoke songs that are easy for high schoolers to sing (21–30)
himawariMr.Children
Mr.Children’s 37th single, released in July 2017.
Many of you probably know it as the theme song for the film “Let Me Eat Your Pancreas.” Sakurai’s passionate vocals are alive and well in this track too! The key to singing this song at karaoke? Don’t try to sing it “perfectly”! Of course, if you want a high score, you need to learn the melody and rhythm faithfully to the original—but no worries there! True to Sakurai, who has written and composed countless Mr.Children hits, this song also delivers an impeccably crafted, memorable melody that’s easy to pick up.
So you shouldn’t stumble on that part.
What matters is how much of the original’s “heat” you can reproduce! Aim not only for a high score with a performance as fiery as the man himself, but also to move everyone in the room.
No tricks needed for this song!
sasanqua (Camellia sasanqua)SEKAI NO OWARI
This is a heartwarming song with a gentle, memorable melody released in 2018 by SEKAI NO OWARI, a four-member Japanese rock band.
They’re hugely popular among middle and high school students as well, and while their music spans a variety of styles, this track features a warm, laid-back rhythm.
There aren’t many high notes or tricky vocal runs, yet it’s still a song that truly resonates, so it should be quite easy to sing at karaoke.

NonfictionHirai Ken
This is Ken Hirai’s 42nd single, released in June 2017.
While Ken Hirai has many R&B-style songs, this track features a folk-inspired arrangement, and together with the lightly reverbed vocals, it delivers a very organic sound.
The overall mood is like that, but his trademark vocal approach—effectively switching between mixed voice (middle voice) and falsetto—is alive and well here.
Combined with the folk flavor, it brings a fresh kind of appeal.
That said, aiming for a high score on this song isn’t easy.
The melody spans a wide range, so you’ll need to express the song by properly switching among chest voice, mixed voice, and falsetto.
However, since it’s folk-tinged, the rhythm is straight rather than the slightly swung feel typical of R&B, making it easier for Japanese listeners to catch the groove.
In that sense, among Ken Hirai’s songs, this is one where it’s relatively easier to aim for a high score.
It’s a bit of a challenging piece, but definitely give it a shot and go for that high score!
Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki
This one track comes from the ultimate tag team of singer-songwriter Huey Ishizaki and actor Masaki Suda.
It’s a cool song with a wild acoustic guitar sound, a passionate groove, and a standout bass line.
The melody is instantly striking and cool, so it should feel great to sing! It’s a number you’ll want to ride the rhythm smoothly and deliver confidently without wavering.
27:00Burandē Senki
Brandy Senki is a girls’ band that’s gained popularity for their sophisticated musicality.
Among high schoolers who like stylish tracks, many of you might already know them.
Of all their works, the one I especially recommend is this track, “27:00.” While you do need to be mindful of the groove, the overall vibe is kept on the downtempo side, so the vocal range is relatively narrow.
It’s very easy to sing, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Because you’re my hero.LiSA
This is LiSA’s 12th single, released on August 2, 2017.
It’s an uptempo rock number, so I think that alone makes it quite easy to sing.
There are several spots in the vocal melody where you need to switch to falsetto for the high notes, so you might want to be careful to manage those transitions smoothly.
If you’re not confident, it might be safer to lower the key and sing entirely in chest voice to aim for a higher score.
death anniversarychanmina
This is Chanmina’s 17th digital-only single, released in August 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for the TV Asahi Thursday drama “Hayabusa Shobodan.” The vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, so I think it should be quite easy for many people to sing.
To score high when singing it at karaoke, the key is how well you can reproduce her slightly sticky, laid-back sense of timing.
Including the rap part at the end of the song, pay close attention to rhythm and groove as you sing!
