With K-pop’s current popularity, haven’t you ever wanted to sing at karaoke and aim for a high score? K-pop’s catchy melodies and distinctive rhythms are delightful, but when you try singing in scoring mode, many of you may have experienced your score not improving as much as you’d hoped.

Many of them feature primarily Japanese lyrics and are easy to sing, so be sure to give them a try at your next karaoke session!
[K-POP] Japanese-lyric songs that are easy to score high on in karaoke (1–10)
ELEVEN (Japanese ver.)ive
It was a massive hit in Korea and has been released in a Japanese version, so even K-pop beginners can handle the lyrics steadily.
I mostly remember hearing it on cable radio, and the chorus kind of stuck in my ears.
There are many places where the melody line is sharply cut, so the key is to keep the rhythm from slipping.
Since there are also bouncy rhythms, it helps to use your body well and keep a fine, precise pulse.
Also, the section before the chorus slows down, then it picks up speed from the chorus, so be careful not to rush the tempo.
If you consciously sing with a bright tone at all times, you can switch more easily without your pitch dropping, even when the rhythm or melody changes!
CelebrateTwice
“Celebrate,” where English and Japanese intersect.
J.Y.
Park, famed in K-pop, also took part in the lyrics.
Because K-pop often features group songs, the overall vocal range is wide, from G3 to E5.
That said, the track itself is a short three minutes, so it’s a great pick for anyone new to learning K-pop! You can groove lightly while still following the lyrics closely, but be aware that a rap appears in the second verse—that’s the key point to watch.
Depending on the karaoke machine, there may be no pitch bar for the rap section, but if you memorize it, you can sing it stylishly without worrying about scoring! Try to focus on singing each phrase carefully and deliberately.
FEARLESS (Japanese ver.)LE SSERAFIM
Expresses moving forward without fear of public scrutiny in the Japanese version of their Korean debut song.
It was played a lot on cable radio, so even those not familiar with K-pop may have heard it at some point.
Looking at the lyrics, there’s a lot of English, but there are many catchy phrases, so you don’t need to overprepare—just sing it lightly as if letting it flow.
However, if your timing slips, you’ll lose points, so keep a solid rhythm.
For the high part before the chorus, consciously match the timing using your hand to feel the rhythm and pitch, and project your voice without hesitation!
NEW LOOKMISAMO
A cool, mature song that captivates more with groove and stability than flash.
The range isn’t too wide and the melody is quite linear, so singers who can stay relaxed and sing accurately tend to score higher.
Where the same melody continues from the intro with more words, the key is not to enunciate too sharply—release small bursts of air as if tonguing.
The song itself has a calm vibe, so it may be better to sing evenly and avoid shouting.
If you want to add expressive nuance, try changing the position of the mic as you sing.
When the song reaches its peak, bring the mic closer to your mouth and give it a try.
Swaying -Flower of Destiny-ZEROBASEONE
The tempo is a bit on the fast side, but since it’s mostly in Japanese, it should be quick and easy to learn.
The melody line isn’t very complex as a song either, so you should be able to sing it solo without it feeling out of place.
It also features that distinctive bouncy K-pop rhythm, and the chorus sits in a fairly high range, so keeping the groove is crucial.
The key point for the high notes in the chorus is how decisively you can attack the A4.
If you hesitate when producing the sound, it becomes hard to hit whether in chest voice or falsetto, so focus on nailing the pitch and try to attack it firmly.
