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)
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.

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.
YELLOWKamiyama Yagi
Originally a Vocaloid producer, Yoh Kamiyama released what was effectively his debut song on YouTube in November 2018 when he announced he would begin working as a singer-songwriter.
By February of the following year, it had reached 10 million views.
Although the lyrics are packed in and sung a bit quickly, the melody is basically made up of gentle, even lines with little variation, making it an ideal choice if you want to aim for a high karaoke score.
Don’t worry about vocal expression—just focus on singing with precise melody and rhythm.
The vocal range required isn’t broad either, so it’s truly recommended for high scores!
