It’s a popular song by singer-songwriter Mao Abe.

It expresses the feelings of a girl with an unrequited crush, and the lyrics are irresistibly relatable.

The tempo is slow and it’s easy to sing, so try channeling Abe-ma and give it a go.

Soliloquy MV [Chiikawa MAD] [Music Video]

Chiikawa is a popular anime loved by a wide range of people, from elementary school children to adults.

The song “Hitorigotsu” is sung by Hachiware, a character in the series.

Given the time slot it airs in, most elementary schoolers have probably heard it at least once.

The piece is characterized by a very simple vocal line.

The pitch movement is very gentle and the range is quite narrow, so even upper-grade students whose voices may be unstable due to voice change can sing it without any problem.

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE has delivered a gem of a song that beautifully captures both the brilliance and the fragility of youth.

It delicately portrays the feelings of trying to embrace everyday anxieties, inner conflicts, and the pains of growth as cherished memories.

The song was also chosen as the opening theme for the anime “Oblivion Battery” and won the 66th Japan Record Awards in December 2024, marking an unprecedented achievement of back-to-back wins for the band.

This heartwarming track offers empathy and encouragement to middle school students grappling with the uniquely turbulent emotions of adolescence and feelings of self-doubt.

It will surely stay close to your heart and give you the courage to look ahead.

In this wistful ballad, the two vocalists of Sandaime J Soul Brothers bring the lyrics’ world to life with exquisite harmonies.

You could sing it solo, but dividing the harmonies and parts between two people doubles the charm—highly recommended!

Tuki., a singer-songwriter who went viral at 15 while still in junior high.

She’s now a second-year high school student, but as fellow junior high students, many of you probably still look up to who she was back then.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Guilty.

The chorus features falsetto, but even though it could be sung in chest voice, she deliberately chooses falsetto.

So if you’re a typical junior high school girl with an average vocal range, you should be able to sing it easily using a light mixed voice.

It’s her latest track, so if you want to get ahead of the trend early, this is a must-listen for junior high students!

When it comes to cute, hype songs by Nogizaka46, this is the one! The center for this track is Mai Shiraishi.

I bet everyone can sing their hearts out together during the chorus.

The choreography is simple too, so even if you just learn the chorus, it’ll definitely get the crowd going at karaoke.
