Recommended Japanese pop songs for middle schoolers to sing at karaoke

Silent majorityKeyakizaka46

Keyakizaka46 'Silent Majority'

It’s a hit song by the popular idol group Keyakizaka46.

Its dark vibe—unusual for an idol song—is a big draw, and the lyrics are perfect for sensitive middle schoolers.

It works whether sung by boys or girls, so it’s a song you can approach proactively.

It’s also a good idea to learn the dance for a karaoke event.

To my dear youInoue Sonoko

Sonoko Inoue – To My Precious You

This song, included on Sonoko Inoue’s major debut mini-album “#17,” is a refreshing love song.

I think many of the lyrics are highly relatable.

The chorus is catchy, so it’s definitely easy to sing.

It makes you want to sing it when summer comes.

DAZBEE | “Bitter Loss” M/V

DAZBEE is a female singer with a uniquely transparent and striking voice.

Although she’s from South Korea, she’s primarily active in Japan and enjoys exceptional popularity in the utaite community.

If you’re a junior high school girl with a fujoshi streak, you’ve probably heard her sing at least once.

Her new song, “Bitter Loss,” features a melody that feels lofty, but the overall range isn’t very wide.

If you set it to the right key and make good use of a whispery voice, you should be able to sing it without much difficulty.

Yabai T-Shirts Yasan – “Gather Around! Party People” Music Video [Major Version]

When it comes to karaoke crowd-pleasers, this is definitely the go-to song.

The lyrics have lots of repetition, so it’s easy to sing.

It takes quite a bit of stamina to get through it solo, so a duet works well.

Everyone should join in on the chorus!

This is another track that suits the summer.
