Karaoke songs that are easy for middle school students to score high on

The number-one concern middle schoolers have in music is voice change.

While girls might not feel it as much, it’s a period when the vocal cords change significantly for both boys and girls, making it arguably the most difficult time to sing in your entire life.

For middle schoolers going through this, just controlling pitch can be challenging.

On top of that, recent Japanese pop songs often feature many high notes and few rests, which makes it even harder to aim for high scores.

So this time, we’ve selected songs that even middle school students with unstable voices can use to aim for high scores.

We also carefully considered how well the songs will be received, so be sure to check them out to the end.

Karaoke songs recommended for middle schoolers that make it easy to score high (91–100)

Singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata has been active since the 2000s.

It’s truly remarkable that he has continued to thrive at the forefront for so many years with a musical style that resonates with young people.

I think many middle schoolers are fans of his as well.

Among Hata’s songs, the one that’s particularly easy to score high with at karaoke is Icarus.

Partly because it has a story-like feel, the overall vocal line is arranged to hold back on sheer power.

In other words, it’s a song that showcases the lyrics, so the melody isn’t very difficult.

Komudot is a YouTuber who enjoys overwhelming support from young women and is especially popular among middle school students.

One of their members, AMUGURI, also has talent as an artist and is active as a solo performer.

His new song, Colorful, is a straightforward J-pop number with a relatively narrow vocal range.

Since it’s not a track by a full-time singer, the melodic rises and falls are comparatively gentle.

It’s easy to sing for both men and women, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

DororoASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

A single by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION released in March 2019, written as the theme song for the TV anime Dororo.

It’s quintessentially them—a guitar rock track with satisfying sound production that makes great use of deep, heavy bass.

As for singing this song at karaoke, aiming for a high score should be relatively easy for anyone.

The melody is on the simpler side, so there aren’t any particularly difficult parts to sing.

Most people should be able to sing it in the original key.

Karaoke backing tracks may not fully reproduce the original’s satisfying rock groove, but keep the lively energy—don’t worry if it gets a bit rough—and power through to the end!

Foolish (Prod. Taka Perry)Aile The Shota

Singer-songwriter Aile The Shota, recognized by SKY-HI.

He’s an artist known for striking R&B-centered tracks and has dropped several hit numbers.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Foolish (Prod.

Taka Perry).” R&B might seem difficult, but this track features almost none of the advanced techniques often considered challenging in the genre, such as ad-libs (fakes) or falls.

Aside from a few falsetto parts, the vocal range is on the narrower side, making it a great choice for junior high school students aiming for a high score with a stylish song.

To the days without a nameyama

Yama has been active as a vocalist since 2018 and is well known for Haru wo Tsugeru.

In contrast to that song, the ballad-style track Nameless Days has a completely different vibe.

Yama’s husky, powerful voice brings out a unique romantic quality in the ballad.

I’ll say it again: it’s a ballad, so the music flows slowly.

That makes breathing technique crucial—be careful not to take breaths in awkward places.

If you want to imitate Yama’s voice, aim for strength without straining.

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu – Put On False Eyelashes
Apply false eyelasheskyarī pamyu pamyu

It’s Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s first single, released in January 2012.

The track is a quintessential example of the so‑called “Yasutaka sound,” with heavy use of Auto-Tune, which producer Yasutaka Nakata excels at.

That makes it pretty tough to recreate with live vocals at karaoke.

Still, likely to make the most of the Auto-Tune, the melody itself is very straightforward and easy to grasp.

So if you’re aiming for a high score, focus on singing in tune and definitely give it a try.

It’s a really fun song, so it’s also totally fine to forget the nitty-gritty and just sing your heart out!

That line is the horizon.kururi

Quruli – That Line Is the Horizon
That line is the horizon.kururi

A limited-edition single from Quruli, released in February 2018 with only 10,000 copies.

This song uses a relatively narrow vocal range in its melody, and the rhythm sits around a medium to slightly slow tempo.

In that sense, it may indeed be easy to sing and a good candidate for scoring high points.

However, for a modern song, the melody can feel a bit monotonous, so performing it with the expressiveness the band themselves bring might actually be quite challenging.

You could say it’s a song that’s easy to score high on, but hard to truly master.

If you’re confident, definitely give it a try.
