Yorushika – Spring Thief (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

For high school students, you can’t skip Yorushika’s songs, right? This song, “Haru Dorobou” (Spring Thief), is included on Yorushika’s first EP “Sousaku,” released in 2021.

It was also used in a commercial, so you probably heard it often.

It’s a song about the sights and feelings of spring that instantly puts you in a spring mood—a refreshing number that makes you feel as if you can see cherry blossoms in full bloom behind your eyelids when you close your eyes.

But it’s not just about the gentle, refreshing side of spring; it’s filled with thoughts and a sense of poignancy inspired by the falling petals.

Dance with the sun, sing on a moonlit night: “What If” Music Video

According to JOYSOUND, the average score for “Moshimo” in August 2025 was 85.670.

If you pay a bit more attention to pitch, I think you can raise it even further.

Since rhythm is very important in this song, it’s best to start by matching the timing slowly and accurately.

Rather than trying to sing the whole thing at once, practice section by section so it doesn’t get jumbled and is easier to memorize.

In parts with lots of words, clapping along, keeping the rhythm with your body, or speaking crisply will help you lock into the beat.

For the chorus, try swaying side to side as if you’re dancing; you’ll be able to sing more energetically, which helps you hit the high notes and project your voice.

Since it’s an idol song, the most important thing is to have fun singing it.

Singing with high energy makes it easier to project, so try singing with a smile!

A song that delicately captures the brilliance and bittersweetness of youth has arrived from Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

With refreshing guitar sounds and a crystalline vocal performance, this piece expresses the transience and beauty of life, gently embracing the feelings of young people who seek stability yet strive to move forward.

Embracing past pains and failures and transforming them into strength for the future, this work offers the courage to take the next step—and will gently nudge you forward as you embark on a new beginning.

@onefive “Alps Vibes” Official Music Video

This is a boldly arranged take on the children’s song “Alps Ichiman-jaku”! I’d be happy if there are teens who know the original or the hand game—do you all know it? The A and B sections have no nursery-rhyme elements at all, but from the chorus the hand-clap rhythm of “Alps Ichiman-jaku” is woven in, so watch out for the shift in tempo and vibe! Keep the off-beats in mind and sing with a good groove—that’s the key! The range isn’t too low or too high, so it should be easy to sing without straining your voice.

Since the rhythm and feel change between the chorus’s nursery-rhyme part and the original sections, it might help to learn them almost as separate songs: for the nursery-rhyme part, be energetic and articulate your words clearly; for the original parts, keep the rhythm light and let it flow like natural speech.

Me, looking my best—I’m unstoppable! (feat. Yurinya)Pretty Chuu

Me, looking my best—I'm unstoppable! (feat. Yurinya)

As the title suggests, it’s a positive song with lyrics that boost your self-esteem and help you love yourself! The range is comfortable, so even karaoke beginners can sing it with confidence, and it’s easy to get hyped at karaoke—singing with friends will make it even more fun.

When you sing, the chorus starts on A#4, so don’t push your voice; imagine singing lightly with a smile, which makes it easier to catch the groove and keep it sounding cute.

It might be best to sing as if you’ve actually become an idol! That way your facial muscles stay lifted, which prevents a throaty sound and lets you sing comfortably and pleasantly.

Also, waving your hand side to side like at a live concert helps you lock into the rhythm, so I recommend it!

To you who didn’t choose meKoresawa

Koresawa “To You Who Didn’t Choose Me” [Music Video]

It’s an energetic, fast-paced band sound.

It’s a breakup song, but it’s not heavy—lyrics that teenage girls can relate to! It’s the kind of track that friends listening along can relate to as well.

The overall range is G#3 to D#5, so it’s comfortably singable.

Singing with a teary tone like Koresawa can capture the vibe, but it might make you sound nasal and harder to sing, so it’s best to use the voice that feels most natural for you.

From the A melody to the B melody, there isn’t much pitch movement and the rhythm is relatively simple, making it approachable even for beginners.

At the start, use a bit more breath and release your voice gently to keep it stable.

Also, the key point for the high notes is switching from chest voice to head voice.

Maintain steady breath support so you can transition smoothly.

Try singing lightly so your throat doesn’t tense up!
