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!

Twinkle Dayschay

Chay gives the first live performance of “Twinkle Days” (the Pantene commercial song).
Twinkle Dayschay

This is the third single by singer-songwriter and fashion model chay, released in April 2014.

The song is a very lively, catchy pop tune with an easy-to-remember melody, making it an excellent choice for karaoke.

It doesn’t particularly feature high notes, nor does it require a very wide vocal range, so if you thoroughly learn the melody and sing it well, you should be able to aim for a high score.

Be careful not to stumble over the English lyrics at the end of the chorus—the closing part—so you don’t lose the original song’s upbeat feel.

Released ahead of the title track as the B-side to Kobukuro’s 29th single, “ONE TIMES ONE,” this song was made available for streaming in March 2018.

It was also featured in a commercial for Ono Pharmaceutical.

As a Kobukuro ballad known for its simple, sincere vocal style, it’s very easy to learn and sing, making it a great choice for those aiming for high karaoke scores.

One common issue when trying to score high is that adding too many personal flourishes can lead to point deductions.

You might wonder how much expression to put into the performance; in this song’s case, if you sing too strictly “by the sheet music,” it risks becoming flat and boring.

If possible, don’t focus too much on the score—take in the meaning of the lyrics and put your effort into expressive singing.

Male musicians with refreshing vocal qualities tend to be popular among high school and college students.

Yurin, the vocalist of Cider Girl, also has that kind of voice.

There are also members who have been active as Vocaloid producers, so I think many Vocaloid fans end up singing their songs too.

The song “Weekly Shonen Zombie” has frequent rhythm changes, so you need to be careful when singing it, but the vocal key barely changes.

Once you get the rhythm down, it’s quite easy to sing, so if you like Vocaloid, definitely give it a try!

This is Porno Graffitti’s 15th single overall, released in September 2004.

The slightly Latin-tinged, wistful melody and arrangement are striking.

Because many sections develop through repeated phrases, it’s very singable and, in that sense, relatively easy to aim for a perfect 100 in karaoke.

Pay attention to details like how you connect and cut off notes as you sing.

Also, as mentioned, the rhythm arrangement has a subtle Latin-style sway; to keep it from becoming monotonous, it’s important to really feel the song’s beat and rhythm—this will be key if you’re aiming for a perfect score.

MiracleGReeeeN

GReeeeN’s 7th single, released in May 2008.

It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “ROOKIES.” The overall key of the song is high, so some people might feel hesitant about singing it, but the vocal range isn’t actually that wide.

As long as you find the key that suits you best, aiming for a high karaoke score shouldn’t be too difficult.

Of course, it’s especially recommended for men with higher voices! Try practicing so you can deliver the rap section stylishly during the song.

I love youback number

It’s the sixth digital single by the Japanese rock band back number, released in April 2022.

In addition to being used as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Soar High!” (Maiagare!), it also appears to have been selected as the entrance march for the 95th Memorial National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament in 2023, making it a perfect recommendation for high school students.

Personally, I’m a bit curious how this relatively gentle, bittersweet song will be arranged as a march.

The melody itself and the way the lyrics ride on it are very straightforward, so I feel it’s relatively easy to aim for a high karaoke score.

There are parts in the chorus where you need to switch to falsetto for the high notes, so if that’s not your strong suit, try lowering the key of the backing track.

If you sing it in the original key, practice so you can switch registers smoothly.

This is Aimyon’s third major-label single, released in August 2017.

The vocal melody doesn’t cover a very wide range, and the tempo is mid-range, making it very easy to sing and groove to.

It might be one of the best songs to choose when you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke.

Try to sing each word of the lyrics carefully and powerfully.

Also, be sure to listen closely to the backing track so your singing doesn’t rush ahead of the rhythm.
