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

astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN

This was BUMP OF CHICKEN’s second single, released in March 2001.

Considering the release year, for junior high schoolers it’s a song that came out before you were born! Maybe your mom and dad loved this track when they were young.

Even so, it doesn’t feel dated at all—it’s a super cool guitar rock tune.

If you sing it stylishly at family karaoke and score high, your parents might be thrilled.

As a song, there aren’t any particularly difficult parts to sing, so give it a try and perform it coolly!

Spring Dayaimyon

Aimyon – Harunohi [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
Spring Dayaimyon

Aimyong’s 7th single, released in April 2019.

It was also used as the theme song for the Crayon Shin-chan movie.

Now, if you’re going to sing this song at karaoke: it’s very Aimyong-like, with an easy-to-remember, catchy melodic progression.

There aren’t really any particularly difficult parts to sing, so as long as you learn the song well beforehand, you shouldn’t have any issues.

It’s a song with a comfortable, big groove at a medium tempo, so even in sections where there are a lot of lyrics, try to stay just slightly behind the beat so the tempo doesn’t rush—that’ll make it sound even cooler.

At the end of the chorus, there’s a slightly higher note; be careful not to let your voice crack there.

LiSA “Homura” -MUSIC CLIP-

This is “Homura,” sung by LiSA, who enjoys enduring popularity as an anisong singer.

It’s the theme song for the movie Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train.

The film was a historic blockbuster, and its theme song “Homura” also became a huge hit across Japan.

The sweeping ballad pierces the heart and almost brings you to tears, doesn’t it? Many of you have probably heard the melody and pitch in various places and already have them down pat.

For this song, taking that as a given, let’s focus on expression.

Use breath control and voice volume control to add nuance to the performance.

That should also earn you extra points.

This song is memorable for its off-key recorder and addictive melody.

Showcasing Yukopi’s playful spirit, it comically portrays everyday life with hair tousled by strong winds.

Released in March 2023, it generated major buzz, particularly on social media.

It became especially popular among young people, topping Billboard JAPAN’s “Niconico VOCALOID SONGS TOP20” for five consecutive weeks.

It was also featured in a Nissin Cup Noodles commercial, boosting its visibility even further.

The vocal line is very simple with a narrow range, making it perfect for those aiming for high karaoke scores.

Even if you’re not confident in your singing, it’s a fun song to try—so give it a shot!

Love so sweet – Arashi (Full)

It’s Arashi’s 18th single, released in February 2007.

It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama Hana Yori Dango 2 (Returns), starring group member Jun Matsumoto.

Now, when it comes to singing this song at karaoke, don’t dismiss it just because it’s by a Johnny’s idol group! The melody is quite intricate, and especially with the sudden key change in the chorus, if you only know it vaguely, you might not be able to follow the modulation.

So first, make sure you learn the melody thoroughly before you try singing it.

To sing it like the original, you’ll also need to master middle voice, a technique that sits between chest voice and falsetto.

If you’re not confident, it might be a good idea to raise the key so you can handle the whole thing in falsetto.

Overdosenatori

Overdose, Nat(s)ori’s signature song with an impressive languid vibe.

The piece maintains a downer mood throughout, so the high parts are intentionally kept restrained.

Falsetto does appear, but it’s not used because the notes are high; it’s a deliberate stylistic choice.

So if you’re not comfortable with falsetto, singing those parts in chest voice is totally fine.

Whispery vocals sound cool on this track, but overdoing it can come off as narcissistic, so keep that in mind when you sing (lol).

On nights when cherry blossoms fallaimyon

Aimyon is a female singer-songwriter whose nostalgic sound, evocative of 1970s folk music, has made her enormously popular, especially among younger listeners.

She has many hit songs, but among them, the one that’s particularly easy to score high with at karaoke is “Sakura ga Furu Yoru wa” (“On the Night the Cherry Blossoms Fall”).

Compared to her other tracks, this one has fewer acoustic elements, but as always, the vocal line places just one vowel on each pitch, making it very easy to sing.
