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! Recommended Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs for High School Students (41–50)
lightly; nimbly; flutteringlyŌhara Sakurako
This is Sakurako Ohara’s sixth single, released in March 2018.
It was also used as the theme song for the film Cheer Dance.
The song is a quintessential female-vocal ballad, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to memorize for karaoke.
Its appeal lies in its very straightforward, sincere vocal delivery, so even in karaoke, aim to sing boldly with a clear, expansive tone.
In the original, she mixes in falsetto on some of the high notes, but if switching registers is tricky for you, it’s fine to lower the key a bit and sing everything in chest voice.
You’ll likely score higher that way.
Try to emphasize the brighter, higher overtones and aim for a luminous, spacious performance throughout.

Wake Me UpTwice
This is TWICE’s third single in Japan, released in May 2018.
Since this song hardly features any tricky melodic developments that would trip you up in karaoke, it should be relatively easy for those aiming for a high score to sing.
The key to a high score will likely be whether you can handle the rap-style part in the second chorus without getting tangled up in the rhythm or words.
It might sound a bit fast and difficult, but once you try it, you’ll probably find it’s more manageable than you expect—so don’t be afraid to give it a shot.
If you find the brief switch to falsetto in the high notes of the chorus challenging, try lowering the key.
crescent moonayaka
Ayaka’s 4th single, released in September 2006.
It’s such a massive hit for Ayaka that it hardly needs an introduction.
For those who were high school students as of 2020, this might be a song that came out around the time you were born, but you all know it, right? Now, Ayaka is known for her strong vocal ability, but not only with Mikazuki—her songs are generally relatively easy to sing even for those who aren’t great with high notes.
In particular, Mikazuki has a slow tempo and a very familiar, approachable melody, so I think it’s a good one for aiming at a high score.
I especially recommend it to those who are good at singing in falsetto.
OVERLittle Glee Monster
This is the song “OVER,” released by the female vocal group Little Glee Monster, known by the nickname “Litoguri.” It’s included on their 2018 album “juice.” It’s an upbeat rock tune that lifts your spirits! Hit the pitches accurately and sing out loud and bright! You’re sure to score a high score!
ZeroFukuyama Masaharu
It’s a digital-only single by Masaharu Fukuyama, released in April 2018.
Since it was written as the theme song for the animated film Detective Conan: Zero the Enforcer, many of you have probably heard it.
Its slightly Spanish flavor and a rhythm reminiscent of a Western movie theme are striking, and it’s incredibly cool.
To score high with this song, the key—above all—is how well you can handle the chorus.
Because it’s a Masaharu Fukuyama piece, known for his rich low voice, the overall range doesn’t go that high.
However, make sure you grasp the switches to falsetto that appear at key moments in the chorus, as well as the slightly complex melodic movements in those parts, and sing accordingly.
Horse and deerYonezu Kenshi
This is Kenshi Yonezu’s 10th single overall, released in September 2019.
It was also pre-released digitally in August of the same year.
Kenshi Yonezu has many songs that are quite challenging to sing at karaoke, but this track is relatively easier among his works thanks to its simpler melody and medium-to-slow tempo.
Even so, the soaring high notes in the chorus can be tough for many singers, so please be careful when setting the key.
Value the song’s overall groove, and be careful not to rush the rhythm as you sing.
silentSEKAI NO OWARI
This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s 14th major (15th overall) single, released in December 2020.
As the title suggests, it’s a Christmas song, so it might be a good idea to learn it early and get comfortable singing it! Some people may feel that they won’t be able to sing it if they’re not good with high notes when they listen to the original, but the actual vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, so you’ll be fine if you lower the key.
Especially if you’re aiming for a high score, pay close attention to the key settings.
I also think it’s a song where singing with a restrained, gentle expression throughout is important.
