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)

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!

Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki

Masaki Suda is highly acclaimed not only as an actor but also as an artist.

I think many middle school students like his music.

Among his songs, “Sayonara Elegy” is one that makes it especially easy to score high in karaoke.

It’s one of his signature tracks, and many people know it.

If you’re trying to make it sound artistically impressive, that’s another story, but if your goal is simply to get a high karaoke score, the simple vocal line makes it very easy to sing.

Definitely give it a try.

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.

The continuation of a dreamMinase Inori

The continuation of a dreamMinase Inori

It’s a song released on September 3, 2025, and it was apparently created as an homage to Inori Minase’s own song “Yume no Tsubomi.” Overall, it’s bright and slightly high-pitched, so it’s an easy pick for those who are good with higher notes.

If high notes aren’t your strong point, it’s totally fine to lower the key by about two steps.

The melody is fairly simple, so you should be able to learn it quickly! For the high parts, if you just belt with a loud voice, you’ll strain your throat, so raise your tone above your normal speaking voice and use a bright voice as your base.

When you focus on that voice, your eyebrows and facial muscles will naturally lift—do you feel that? Try keeping that expression and projecting your voice far into the distance! If the sound comes out cleanly without catching in your throat, you’re doing it right.

It’ll also make it easier to stay on pitch, so give it a try!

Yorushika is a unit that has produced many great songs.

You could say they’re one of the most popular acts among teenagers.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend for its popularity and ease of singing is Hebi (“Snake”).

The song’s vocal range is mid1E to hiA, which is quite narrow for a female song.

The pitch movement is also relatively gentle, so any junior high school girl should be able to sing it well.

It’s a song that appeals to both girls and boys, so be sure to check it out.

If I could become a constellationkessoku bando

Kessoku Band’s most famous song, “If We Could Become a Constellation.” The melody isn’t difficult and the rhythm is calm, so many of my vocal training students chose to sing it.

Actually, JOYSOUND staff are doing something called the “95-Point Challenge” with this song, so with practice you might be able to boost your score quite a bit! The overall vocal range is G3–C#5.

The chorus hits C5 repeatedly, so some people might feel it’s “high,” but the melody has momentum, so if you focus on accents, you’ll be fine! First, listen carefully to identify which parts are the high notes.

Take the spots where you think, “Maybe here?” and turn them into accents by riding the rhythm with some drive.

The key point is to project your voice forward! Start with sectional practice so you can produce sound comfortably, and do your best!

On your marksaimyon

Aimyon – About One [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
On your marksaimyon

Ichini Tsuite, released in July 2025.

The track runs over six minutes, but the actual sung portion is five minutes.

It’s a song in which Aimyon sings about her feelings as she turns 30, carrying themes of quiet introspection and growth—so many listeners may find themselves reflected in the lyrics.

The melody is very straightforward and should sink in easily even on a first listen.

Since it’s a relaxed song, paying attention to the spaces between phrases will help you lock into the tempo when singing.

The key spot for expressiveness and emotion is toward the end of the last chorus.

If you overthink it, your pitch can waver, so belt it out confidently in chest voice without hesitation! Imagining an emotional burst right at the very end helps keep the energy up and makes it easier to project your voice.
