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 that are easy for junior high school students to score high on (1–10)

Imo-rai Imotuki.

Imo-rai Imotuki.

According to JOYSOUND’s data, the average karaoke score for “Aimo Raimo” in August 2025 is a bit on the high side at 87.462.

The vocal range is relatively modest for a tuki.

song, spanning D3 to D#5, with the highest note appearing in the final chorus in falsetto.

Since D#5 is fairly high, aim to resonate strongly in your head when you sing it.

Take a deep breath before the chorus entrance, build momentum, and pop the first note out with energy.

The C-melody is unexpectedly tricky for pitch: the melody moves up and down phrase by phrase, so the lower parts may feel difficult.

You’ll want to sing each phrase carefully, but try to place every phrase from the same vocal spot.

Low notes tend to go flat, so to prevent that, keep your eyebrows raised and imagine projecting the sound forward, just in front of your eyebrows.

I’m not great with low notes either, but raising my eyebrows makes it easier to hit the pitch—give it a try!

ElfAdo

You might want to imitate Ado’s singing voice, but first and foremost, it’s best to sing in a voice that feels natural for you.

Also, if you put too much emotion into your singing, your voice can become unstable and your score may go down.

When using a scoring system, don’t worry too much about vibrato and the like—start by singing straight and focusing on accurate pitch.

Of course, once you get used to it, go ahead and aim for those bonus points! Some people use their hands to guide their pitch while singing, right? This method is actually highly recommended! Especially for high notes, using your hand helps you feel the momentum, making it easier to hit them cleanly.

By the way, for low notes, don’t lower your hand; instead, raise it like you do for high notes.

That way, your head resonates more, your voice won’t sound muffled, and low notes will come out more easily.

Definitely give it a try!

greatest common divisorRADWIMPS

Among RADWIMPS’ songs, this one doesn’t sit too high in range, so you don’t need to belt.

As long as you stay mindful of the rhythmic timing, you can aim for a high score! In particular, the A verse stays mostly in the mid–low (mid1) range, so it’s good to sing gently, as if speaking.

The range gradually rises from the B verse, but there’s no need to push your voice.

If you keep the breath flowing and imagine resonating in the head, your head voice will take on a chesty quality, and once you find your comfortable spot, it becomes much easier to sing.

Also, some may find the rhythm tricky where the melody gets fast, but since the range isn’t too high, you’ll be fine if you place the notes carefully and sing with precision.

As the pitch climbs, imagine resonating in the head and try keeping it light!

EurekaHoshino Gen

EurekaHoshino Gen

It was produced as the theme song for “Madoka, 26, I’m a Resident!” released in January 2025.

If you watched the drama, it might sound familiar.

It’s a calm ballad with a relaxed tempo and understated lyrics, and because there isn’t much pitch movement, it’s easy to sing steadily—perfect even for middle schoolers! Also, the 3-and-a-half-minute length makes it easy to learn quickly.

Hoshino Gen’s clean, light falsetto appears several times, but if you sing with a gentle, humming feel overall, it’s easier to stay on pitch and to produce the falsetto.

It’s not a song you belt, so aim for a high score by watching the pitch bar and singing each note carefully.

Rather than “pushing out your voice,” think of “letting the breath flow,” and ride the song smoothly—you might find it brings out your expressiveness, too.

AzaleaYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu’s new song “Azalea.” While Yonezu’s works often span wide vocal ranges due to his broad musicality, this track is comparatively contained within a narrower range.

It maintains a consistently downbeat feel throughout, with no abrupt pitch jumps from the verse to the chorus.

However, there is one spot in the final chorus that uses falsetto, so watch out for that.

Aside from that, there are no tricky sections, making it an easy song to sing.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.
