A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

If you’re a high school student, you probably go to karaoke quite a bit—after school events like sports festivals and culture festivals, or when you’re hanging out with friends on your days off.

But when the moment comes, it’s hard to decide what to sing, right?

Before you know it, you might realize, “I always sing the same songs…!!” I bet a lot of people can relate.

So in this article, we’ll introduce lots of karaoke songs that are perfect for getting a high school crowd hyped!

In recent years, many songs have gone viral online—starting with TikTok—and become popular among young people.

"Streidia" - Chiitana feat. IA × ONE -

Streideachiitana

@r_jimaaa
It means nothing if it's not you. 🧛‍♂️Halloween Vampire #Halloween
♪ Original song – Inaichan – Inaichan

Mysterious songs go perfectly with Halloween, don’t they? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “STRAIDEA.” This track was created by Chiitana using the VOCALOID voices IA and ONE.

The first half has a gothic vibe, setting a melody that portrays a woman utterly absorbed in love.

Then, in the second half, the music grows more intense and shifts into a rap style.

That dramatic change in mood is part of its charm.

Also, pay attention to the lyrics, which evoke classic Halloween monsters.
