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!

Released in 2017, this is a rock number by the Japanese rock band flumpool that begins with a grand, sweeping intro.

Its beautiful melody and powerful beat match the epic arrangement and leave a strong impression.

Sing from your diaphragm and feel the rhythm as you go.

A Little Love SongMONGOL800

A track from MONGOL800’s second album “MESSAGE,” which was released in September 2001.

It’s one of MONGOL800’s signature songs, yet it has apparently never been released as a single! Musically, it’s a very straightforward, simple punk rock song, and there don’t seem to be any especially difficult parts to sing.

So it’s practically a must-pick when you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke! Of course, the best way to enjoy it is for everyone to forget about the score, belt it out, and have fun.

Updatemiwa

Updatemiwa

This is miwa’s 24th single, released in May 2018.

It was used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime My Hero Academia.

I know I’m the one who picked it, but aiming for a high score by tracing the melody exactly might be a bit tricky with this song (lol).

miwa, who sings the original, gives the impression of having solid foundational vocal technique, and she handles the slightly challenging melody with ease.

That said, the chorus melody is very catchy and easy to remember, so as long as you make sure your voice doesn’t get weak when switching to falsetto and that the transition isn’t unnatural, you should be fine.

It’s a song with a very light, pleasant groove, so have fun practicing it.

The key to a high score really comes down to memorizing the original melody accurately.

Since it’s a straightforward song in terms of expression, if you pay attention to rhythm and pitch, a high score is definitely within reach!

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!

A song released in 2017 by EXILE THE SECOND, inspired by the trans-American highway Route 66.

The contrast between the opening electric guitar and EXILE’s EDM image is incredibly cool.

It’s high-tempo yet surprisingly easy to sing, and the falsetto parts feel great to perform—an excellent track.

This song, sung by the popular couple YouTubers Yoru no Hito Warai, is probably familiar to many high school students.

Its warm, heartwarming lyrics are charming and will make you feel cozy as you listen.

Since the melody doesn’t have large pitch jumps throughout, it’s an easy song to sing in karaoke without going off key.

The tempo is also just right—not too fast and not too slow—so you can check the pitch and rhythm word by word as you sing, making it perfect for aiming for a high score.

This is a song released in 2019 by Koresawa, a singer-songwriter who debuted in 2011 and is hugely popular among high school students for her captivating voice and poetic world.

Since her debut, she’s had the distinctive policy of not showing her face in the media.

The piercing lyrics set over electric guitar arpeggios resonate strongly.

It’s a piece sung without belting, in a calm yet sentimental tone, so the key will likely be how well you can convey its unique atmosphere.
