Popular songs among junior high school students. Songs trending on social media as well (61–70)
Evening FestivalTomonari Sora
Sora Tomonari is a male singer-songwriter who has earned enormous popularity for his music’s strong emphasis on world-building.
He has many classic songs, but this time I’d like to introduce a new track: Yoimatsuri (Twilight Festival).
Although falsetto appears frequently in this piece, the gap between the chest voice and falsetto is quite large, so the difficult low falsetto doesn’t show up much.
It’s not completely absent, but the phrases can be substituted with mixed voice, making the song overall easier to sing.
With its Japanese flair and a melody that weaves between minor and major modes, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going!
thorn; brambleAdo
A powerful and exhilarating melody resonates in the heart.
This standout single, born from the ultimate tag team of Ado’s commanding vocals and a song provided by Vaundy, was released in May 2023.
The lyrics, which stir intense emotions, speak to the soul and are sure to help you face even a day at school with positivity.
When you belt it out at karaoke, this song has the strength to let the day’s fatigue ride the waves of sound and blow away.
It’s not only perfect for sharing on social media, but also a track that enriches the rhythm of everyday life—so be sure to give it a listen.
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
This is a signature song by SHISHAMO, a three-piece girls’ rock band that’s hugely popular, especially among young people.
The band is particularly popular with girls, and I often hear people say they love the lyrics.
With its pop, catchy melody and relatable words, this song has captured the hearts of many middle school students.
Guiltytuki.
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!
Scramble Dating feat. Hatsune MikuDECO*27
The song “Scramble Kousai,” with lyrics and composition by the popular Vocaloid producer DECO*27.
DECO*27 is known for many masterpieces like “Otome Kaibou” and “Hibana,” and this track is seriously cool too! The lyrics explore love, but rather than a sweet love song, it portrays slightly more complex emotions.
It’s the kind of masterpiece that hooks you after just one listen, so if you like Vocaloid, definitely give it a try!
astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN
It’s BUMP OF CHICKEN’s biggest hit, released 15 years ago.
It resonates perfectly with people in their 20s, but its youthful vibe and raw earnestness in the lyrics, along with vocalist Fujiwara’s powerful voice, make it a classic that strikes a chord with today’s middle schoolers.
Pierrot of the NightAdo
Since her shocking debut with the social-phenomenon hit “Usseewa,” female singer Ado has continued to make headlines with every release thanks to her wide expressive range.
This is her fifth digital-only single, selected as the opening theme for the drama slot ‘One Hour To First Love.’ Produced by Vocaloid creator biz, the track features a laid-back shuffle beat that naturally makes you sway along.
Blending her trademark power with delicate falsetto, her vocals serve as a fresh reminder of Ado’s singing prowess.
It’s a work that conveys the presence of a new-generation songstress who’s popular even among trend-sensitive middle schoolers.
