Japanese pop songs recommended for junior high schoolers for karaoke (11–20)

Cinderella GirlKing&Prince

It’s the debut single of King & Prince, who debuted in 2018, and it was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Hana Nochi Hare: Hanadan Next Season.” Since it’s sung by six members, it’s fun to split the parts with friends and try singing it together.

Dragon NightSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI – Dragon Night
Dragon NightSEKAI NO OWARI

It’s a popular song by the four-member band SEKAI NO OWARI.

Since it has a lot of English lyrics, it might be a bit challenging, but precisely because it’s so popular, it’ll look cool if you can sing it well.

It might be a good idea to practice thoroughly before singing it in front of everyone.

Kana Nishino remains highly popular as a spokesperson for women’s feelings.

Among her songs, “Torisetsu” is a message song that candidly voices women’s thoughts to men.

If sung in middle school—when girls seem more mature and boys are still kids—the girl singing will likely appear even more grown-up.

Ideally, it’s a song you’d want to sing in front of the boy you like.

U.S.A.DA PUMP

This is DA PUMP’s first single in three and a half years, characterized by an upbeat dance beat.

With its catchy melody and lively groove, it’s sure to hype up a karaoke session.

It’d be fun to add some dance moves while you sing.

Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS are hugely popular, especially among young women.

Their cool vocals and looks have captivated many.

Their songs are great for girls who are fans to sing together at karaoke while watching the music videos.

On the other hand, guys might get some cold looks, so it might be better not to sing them in front of girls.

StaRtMrs. GREEN APPLE

This song is included on Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s major-label debut mini-album and was also used in a commercial for Kao’s “Merit.” It’s a number full of a sense of speed.

The vocals are high, so I think it can be sung powerfully by anyone, regardless of gender.
