[Anime Songs for High Scores] Carefully Selected Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Tracks (1–10)
Limit-Break x SurvivorHikawa Kiyoshi
It’s the opening theme of Dragon Ball Super, a classic anison track packed with the same momentum and power as the anime itself.
The singer is Kiyoshi Hikawa, which surprised me at first since I didn’t have that image of him.
The overall vocal range is quite narrow at F#3–F#4, which should be comfortable for male singers.
However, because similar notes continue throughout, maintaining consistency is important.
The chorus has many sustained notes, so you can rack up points quickly there.
Keep an eye on the pitch bar and hold the notes all the way to the end.
Moonlight LegendDALI
Moonlight Densetsu, known as the opening theme of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, has a simple, memorable melody line and a vocal range that seems easy for anyone to sing.
If you sing too flatly from the verse into the chorus, the high notes in the chorus might feel tight and your voice could crack.
When you sing, try to focus on producing a bright tone.
If you can keep that, you should be able to move smoothly when the melody changes and stay on pitch more easily.
In any case, be mindful of carefully tracing the melody!
Until the World Ends…WANDS
This song is said to be one of the easiest 90s rock tracks to score high on! Since it has relatively few words, anyone can aim for a high score by singing the whole thing carefully.
The best place to rack up points in “Till the World Ends…” is the chorus.
The key is a bit high, so once you lock in, your pitch won’t waver easily, and because the melody is mostly sustained notes, you can keep boosting your score by paying close attention to the pitch bar.
Also, rock songs tend to make you belt, but if you’re not used to it your voice might crack… Take a good breath, place a hand on your chest, and let it resonate! When you sing comfortably, it feels exhilarating and you can enjoy it even more.
Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro
Himawari no Yakusoku, popular as a Doraemon movie theme song, gives the impression that a wide range of people sing it.
The overall vocal range is D#3 to A#4, so men should be able to handle it without strain if they sing calmly.
Since it’s a ballad, the melody line is simple and easy to remember, and the more carefully you sing, the more accurately you can hit the notes—making it a good choice for scoring systems.
There are many long tones, so if you focus on the pitch bar and sustain to the end, your score will go up.
For the chorus’s highest note, A#4, lift your facial muscles and aim to produce it easily without forcing or belting—think of delivering it lightly and gently.
Curtain callYuuri
It’s the opening theme for cour 2 of Season 7 of the TV anime My Hero Academia.
The song’s overall vocal range is E3–A4, which should be comfortable for both male and female singers.
You might stumble if you haven’t memorized the chorus lyrics, so it’s a good idea to listen thoroughly before singing.
There’s also a switch between chest voice and falsetto in the bridge (C melody).
When moving into falsetto, aim to place it gently so it sits correctly.
If you imagine placing your hand upward toward your head at that moment, you can produce a soft, airy falsetto.
Also, try to resonate in your chest without tensing too much—you’ll find it easier to sing that way.
DoraemonHoshino Gen
Gen Hoshino’s Doraemon theme song is loved by people of all ages.
The song’s overall vocal range is B2 to F4, which makes it quite easy to sing.
In the chorus, where the “do” sounds continue, it’s very important to lock into the rhythm.
The sections that share the same rhythm and timing are just as important.
It’s best to pronounce the words with a light, detailed delivery rather than too crisply.
In the pre-chorus (B-melody), projecting your voice with a big, expansive feel will enhance your expressiveness.
Try singing with an upbeat, fun energy!
A Cruel Angel’s ThesisTakahashi Yoko
A nationally beloved anime song across generations, “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis.” Its melody line is simple, so it pairs perfectly with scoring systems.
In the A section, the pauses are crucial—don’t rush.
In the B section, the melody flows on, which can make breath timing feel tricky, but if you sing with the image of releasing your voice little by little, you’ll conserve breath and it won’t feel strenuous.
The highest note in the chorus, C5, is one you probably won’t hit accurately without some momentum.
Imagine projecting your voice far into the distance and really let it out—that’s about right! When my students adopt that mindset, they tell me, “The note came out! That felt great!” Give it a try and keep that in mind!
