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 Make It Easy for Middle Schoolers to Score High (31–40)

UniverseOfisharu Higedan Dism

Official HIGE DANDism – Universe [Official Video]

This is “Universe” by Official HIGE DANDism, a four-member band that has performed at the Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

Released in 2021, it was also used as the theme song for the film Doraemon: Nobita’s Little Star Wars 2021.

This track showcases Hige-Dan’s pop sensibilities as well.

It’s a song that really lets you feel the joy of music.

When singing it, note that some rhythms can be tricky, so you’ll grasp the melody better if you learn it thoroughly first.

A key part of performing it is the transition from the mid range to the high range, a hallmark of Hige-Dan’s sound.

You might just wow your friends.

Spot the differenceSuda Masaki

Masaki Suda 'Machigai Sagashi' (Spot the Difference)
Spot the differenceSuda Masaki

This is actor-singer Masaki Suda’s first digital single, released in May 2019.

When it comes to songs by actors, people often think of them as a side gig to acting, but that’s not the case with Masaki Suda! His vocal ability rivals that of full-time singers, and he delivers this somewhat mellow track with complete expressiveness.

The way he switches between falsetto and high chest voice in the chorus is downright goosebump-inducing.

That’s why finally nailing this song feels incredibly rewarding—so if you’re confident in your singing, definitely give it a try.

To achieve gentle high tones like Suda’s, you might need formal vocal training, though…

SparkleRADWIMPS

SparkleRADWIMPS

This is “Sparkle” by RADWIMPS, which was used as an insert song in the smash-hit animated film Your Name.

It’s included on the album Human Bloom.

Every aspect—melody, lyrics, and arrangement—is beautiful.

Let’s sing it while cherishing the song’s world.

If you open your mouth wide and articulate the lyrics more carefully than usual, natural expressiveness will follow!

Flower of loveaimyon

Aimyon – Flower of Love [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
Flower of loveaimyon

This work captivates with its heartfelt melody and poetic lyrics.

Written as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Ranman,” it was released in April 2023.

Inspired by the story of a botanist, the lyrics delicately portray love, hope, and sorrow.

Aimyon’s gentle voice warmly embraces listeners.

The chorus is especially easy to sing and pitch, making it perfect for junior high school students aiming for high karaoke scores.

If you master the use of falsetto, you’ll be able to deliver an even more captivating performance.

GoodbyeŌhara Sakurako

Sakurako Ohara - Goodbye (Music Video Short ver.)
GoodbyeŌhara Sakurako

Sakurako Ohara’s ninth single in total, released in November 2017.

It’s a song with an impressively beautiful melody, crafted to make the most of her pure, clear voice.

In a way, it’s a textbook example of a classic female-vocal ballad, so if you’re a woman with some confidence in your singing, it shouldn’t be too hard to aim for a high karaoke score.

Try to sing with a transparent tone, keeping your voice as clear as possible.

Also, be careful with the high falsetto parts so they don’t stick out too much.

Karaoke Songs Easy to Score High on for Middle Schoolers (41–50)

Love me, Love youMrs. GREEN APPLE

This is the song “Love me, Love you” by the rock band Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, which is especially popular among people in their teens and twenties.

It’s included on the album ENSEMBLE.

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE is known for a very high-pitched male vocal, but this song might be relatively easier to sing.

The tempo isn’t too fast and it’s easy to get into the groove, so I recommend it!

LemonYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu’s 8th major single was released in March 2018 (with digital distribution starting earlier in February of the same year).

It was written as the theme song for the TBS TV drama “Unnatural.” To aim for a high karaoke score with this song, there are a few tricky parts in the melody, so it’s essential to check those in advance.

Once you’ve memorized the melody, there aren’t any extremely high notes, so as long as the key suits you, you should definitely be able to go for a high score! The rhythm has a slight swing to it, so be careful not to miss that—make sure you really get into the groove of the track when you sing!
