I love music!

But there are surely people who aren’t confident about singing and prefer to just listen and enjoy, right?

Even when you work up the courage to try singing, it can be hard to take the plunge because you’re afraid of messing up.

Here, we’ve carefully selected top karaoke songs that are especially friendly and easy for middle schoolers to sing!

While including relatively new tracks, they’re all songs with familiar melodies and smaller pitch differences, so they should be easier to tackle.

I hope this helps ease your anxiety, even a little, and gives you a chance to feel the joy of singing.

Songs that are easy to sing even for those who aren’t good at singing. Recommended karaoke songs for middle schoolers (41–50)

cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit)Otsuka Ai

This is one of Ai Otsuka’s signature songs.

It was also used in Nyanko Star’s comedy routine, and it’s been getting a lot of play again recently.

It’s very well-known, and I think it’s easy for women to sing.

Since it’s a bright, up-tempo track, it’s perfect for singing together.

It’s also recommended as a starter to hype up the crowd.

Hata Motohiro is a singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for his catchy musical style.

His work “Icarus” is so accomplished that a film was even made based on its lyrics.

While the lyrics are profound, the melody isn’t particularly difficult; it remains approachable overall.

There aren’t especially high parts or rapid-fire lines, so even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to handle it without trouble.

Adding depth with a fuller low register will instantly bring out richness, so be sure to keep that in mind.

This is a song where the pauses are very important, and you should sing each phrase carefully, almost as if savoring it.

One of my students who’s really into First Star Academy loves this character and practiced a lot.

The key is not to rush—sing each word of the lyrics with intention.

When you sing, using a head-voice base brings out the right vibe.

The pitch right before the last chorus is slightly low, so be careful not to let your pitch drop.

Since the song is generally head-voice based, keeping that mindset and sending a steady stream of air forward will make the low notes easier to produce.

Rather than changing your singing style, focus on engaging the vocal folds and using your breath well.

For those not used to singing, the relaxed melody makes it easier to practice because you can take slower breaths!

fireworks (launched into the sky)Yonezu Kenshi

Regarding the duet song Uchiage Hanabi with DAOKO, this time I’ll introduce Kenshi Yonezu’s solo version! The overall vocal range sits at a relatively calm C3–A4, showcasing Yonezu’s characteristically gentle, tender tone throughout.

In fact, pitch tends to become less stable in the lower notes than the higher ones, so it’s important to pay close attention to the very beginning of each phrase.

If your breathing is shallow, it becomes harder to produce sound, so focus on taking deep breaths.

To nail the pitch, it also helps to lift your facial muscles.

Rather than lifting them while singing, raise them as you inhale and keep them engaged as you phonate.

Since the song is relaxed, there’s ample time for breaths, so don’t forget to take one each time.

Also, because it sits in the midrange, make sure to project your voice forward so it doesn’t get muffled!
