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! Karaoke Songs That Are Easy for High School Students to Sing (31–40)
I love youNishino Kana
This is a song by Kana Nishino, a female singer who enjoys overwhelming support from many young women thanks to her down-to-earth lyrics, and it was created to mark the 10th anniversary of her debut.
Its relatable, characteristically “her” lyrics are very appealing.
With a fast-paced melody that makes it easy to keep pitch, and without flashy high notes or tricky rhythms, it’s a very singable, confidence-boosting track for karaoke.
SignalWANIMA
A track from WANIMA’s major-label debut album Everybody!!, which was released in January 2018.
It was created for their festival, WANIMA 18-sai Festival.
True to this ultra-energetic punk band’s style, there’s no need for any complicated vocal techniques in the song, but if you try to sing it in the original key, most people might collapse! (lol) It’s totally fine to go all out and have fun with friends, but if you’re aiming for a high karaoke score, you’re better off lowering the key.
It’s a slightly up-tempo song, so be careful not to fall behind the rhythm.
Thank youikimonogakari
When it comes to Ikimonogakari’s classic ballads, “Arigatou” is the one that comes to mind.
Since the tempo of this song is slow, even those who find it hard to stay on pitch can sing while checking each note carefully.
The rhythm is simple too, so try singing it slowly while confirming as you go.
If you’re aiming for a high score, focusing on long tones and vibrato will make it easier to boost your points.
The One and Only Flower in the WorldSMAP
This is a quintessential Heisei-era number released in 2002 by SMAP, the well-known five-member male idol group that shocked the public when they disbanded in 2016.
Not only did many people find this song moving at the time, it’s also familiar to many as it was even included in elementary school textbooks.
It’s easy for anyone to enjoy, regardless of age or gender, and it’s a karaoke classic—so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
That gentle girlsupittsu
As a CD single by Spitz, this is their 40th release, or their 42nd single overall if you include digital-only tracks, released in June 2019.
It was chosen as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Natsuzora.” It’s a very “Spitz-like” track with a clear, refreshing, and breezy feel, and the melody is very approachable.
It would be a solid choice if you’re aiming for a high score in karaoke.
The key is a bit high, so if you’re unsure about your high notes, lowering it by about two semitones (-2) should make it easier to sing.
Although the song maintains a light, upbeat rhythm overall, don’t forget to keep a “big groove” when singing the chorus, and be careful not to rush the rhythm.
Also, since the chorus melody has large note values, pay close attention to maintaining pitch accuracy to score high.

This is a song where the pauses are very important, and you should sing each phrase carefully, almost as if savoring it.
One of my students who’s really into First Star Academy loves this character and practiced a lot.
The key is not to rush—sing each word of the lyrics with intention.
When you sing, using a head-voice base brings out the right vibe.
The pitch right before the last chorus is slightly low, so be careful not to let your pitch drop.
Since the song is generally head-voice based, keeping that mindset and sending a steady stream of air forward will make the low notes easier to produce.
Rather than changing your singing style, focus on engaging the vocal folds and using your breath well.
For those not used to singing, the relaxed melody makes it easier to practice because you can take slower breaths!
fireworks (launched into the sky)Yonezu Kenshi
Regarding the duet song Uchiage Hanabi with DAOKO, this time I’ll introduce Kenshi Yonezu’s solo version! The overall vocal range sits at a relatively calm C3–A4, showcasing Yonezu’s characteristically gentle, tender tone throughout.
In fact, pitch tends to become less stable in the lower notes than the higher ones, so it’s important to pay close attention to the very beginning of each phrase.
If your breathing is shallow, it becomes harder to produce sound, so focus on taking deep breaths.
To nail the pitch, it also helps to lift your facial muscles.
Rather than lifting them while singing, raise them as you inhale and keep them engaged as you phonate.
Since the song is relaxed, there’s ample time for breaths, so don’t forget to take one each time.
Also, because it sits in the midrange, make sure to project your voice forward so it doesn’t get muffled!
