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)

I should be able to fly (in the sky).supittsu

Spitz’s eighth single in total, released in April 1994.

It’s crafted like a quintessential hit from the J-pop golden era of the ’90s, with a strong emphasis on an impactful chorus melody.

Because the chorus melody is so striking, the other sections don’t leave as strong an impression—another hallmark of ’90s J-pop—and this song is no exception.

So, if you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke, the key point is likely how well you can properly sing the parts outside the chorus.

There aren’t any particularly difficult sections to sing, so learn and internalize the song well, then give it a try!

Karaoke Songs That Make It Easy for Middle Schoolers to Score High (51–60)

Aimyon – You Don’t Listen to Rock [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
You don't listen to rock.aimyon

This is Aimyon’s third major-label single, released in August 2017.

The vocal melody doesn’t cover a very wide range, and the tempo is mid-range, making it very easy to sing and groove to.

It might be one of the best songs to choose when you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke.

Try to sing each word of the lyrics carefully and powerfully.

Also, be sure to listen closely to the backing track so your singing doesn’t rush ahead of the rhythm.

Kana Nishino’s 27th single, released in September 2015.

This song has become a wedding staple, but it’ll be a little while before you middle schoolers experience that yourselves (lol).

That said, I bet many girls can relate to these lyrics.

It’s an adorable song in both melody and words, and there aren’t any difficult parts to sing, so it might be fun to compete for high scores with your friends on a one-song challenge.

Sing brightly, happily, and cutely!

It’s an emo track by the guitar rock band KANA-BOON.

This song also has that signature KANA-BOON feel set to a rock sound, but what makes it great is how it starts with a somewhat relaxed melody and then, in the chorus, the vocals suddenly become powerful.

So be careful not to miss the very first note when the chorus comes in.

Also, do your best with the tricky, detailed pitches and the sustained notes in the latter half!

This is “Image Strategy,” a song by the rock band Gesu no Kiwami Otome.

It’s included on the album “Sukinara Towanai.” The rap-like opening is so fast that it can make you brace yourself, right? In times like that, I recommend slowly reading the lyrics out loud to get your mouth used to the movements.

Also, if you decide in advance where to take breaths, you won’t disrupt the rhythm—so give it a try!

This is the song “Cocoa” by the very popular group AAA.

It’s a sweet and very cute tune! Pay attention to the opening melody.

The timing is a bit complex, but if you really listen to the track, you should be able to learn it.

Also, be sure to grasp the subtle nuances of how to sing the chorus melody and the parts where you use falsetto.

It will help you develop your expressiveness!

This is “Dry Flower” by the male singer Yuuri, released in 2020.

It became a massive hit on various music charts and gained popularity especially among young people.

It’s amazing that the streaming play count has surpassed hundreds of millions, isn’t it? When you listen to the song, its popularity makes sense.

Comparing heartbreak to a dried flower is bittersweet yet somehow romantic.

That atmosphere may be what captivated listeners.

In this song, as soon as the chorus begins, a flurry of high notes comes in all at once.

Let’s make sure we can keep up with the song’s climax.
