Easy-to-sing youth songs for karaoke: recommended classics and popular hits

If I sing to the sky175R

175R - If I Sing to the Sky

A defining feature of 175R’s songs is that many are fundamentally easy to sing, and “Sora ni Utaeba” is one of them.

With a catchy tempo, singable melody, and simple arrangement, it’s an easy listen.

They resumed activities in 2016, energizing melodic hardcore fans.

[AKB48] Memory Scroll Lyric Video / Yasushi Akimoto × AI Yasushi Akimoto

It’s an idol song, but since it’s not overly sparkly, I think it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

The structure is very straightforward—verse A to verse B to the chorus—with the energy building in order, so even if your range is narrow, adding momentum to each melodic section may help you gradually get a feel for projecting your voice.

That said, the chorus is a bit high.

If it’s hard to sing in chest voice, don’t push yourself—use falsetto.

Falsetto uses a lot of breath, so with practice, you might suddenly find yourself able to produce a stronger falsetto! Try inhaling through your mouth properly and singing as if you’re sending your voice forward.

Marigoldaimyon

Aimyon – Marigold [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Aimyon is popular across all generations.

“Marigold” is also a hit that people in their 50s often sing at karaoke.

I have students of various ages, and many of them sing her other songs too! It seems Aimyon really resonates with everyone, regardless of gender or age.

Also, “Marigold” sits in a comfortable range of F#3 to B4, so it’s an easy song to sing with a melody that’s simple for anyone to pick up.

If you think you’re tone-deaf, you might get nervous when holding the mic, but try not to tense up—sway gently side to side and sing lightly.

It helps you relax, and I recommend it! This can be especially good in karaoke settings with younger people around.

If you say, “Everyone, sing along with me,” you’ll feel even more at ease, so just be natural and enjoy singing!

Good luck!Utakata Pātīzu

Do Your Best / Ephemeral Parties [MV]

It has a somewhat anime-like vibe, with a refreshing, easy-to-listen phrase that sticks in your head! The tempo is relatively fast, so it might be best to start by memorizing the melody.

When it’s time to sing, as long as you ride the groove properly, you’ll be set! The melody is quite straightforward, so you should get used to the song quickly.

There’s call-and-response in the A section, so if you look at the lyrics from the beginning, you should be able to learn it without getting confused.

Also, for the high notes in the chorus, rather than belting, sing lightly to match the song’s feel—aim to relax while keeping the rhythm with your body.

Since it’s an idol-style song, lifting your facial muscles into a smile will help you relax on its own.

After that, try singing without forcing it, imagining your voice lightly placed forward, around the area in front of your eyebrows!

If I could become a constellationkessoku bando

[Lyric Video] Kessoku Band “If We Could Become Constellations” / In-episode song from TV anime “Bocchi the Rock!” Episode 12

Kessoku Band’s most famous song, “If We Could Become a Constellation.” The melody isn’t difficult and the rhythm is calm, so many of my vocal training students chose to sing it.

Actually, JOYSOUND staff are doing something called the “95-Point Challenge” with this song, so with practice you might be able to boost your score quite a bit! The overall vocal range is G3–C#5.

The chorus hits C5 repeatedly, so some people might feel it’s “high,” but the melody has momentum, so if you focus on accents, you’ll be fine! First, listen carefully to identify which parts are the high notes.

Take the spots where you think, “Maybe here?” and turn them into accents by riding the rhythm with some drive.

The key point is to project your voice forward! Start with sectional practice so you can produce sound comfortably, and do your best!

IfTaiyō to odore tsukiyo ni utae

Dance with the sun, sing on a moonlit night: “What If” Music Video

According to JOYSOUND, the average score for “Moshimo” in August 2025 was 85.670.

If you pay a bit more attention to pitch, I think you can raise it even further.

Since rhythm is very important in this song, it’s best to start by matching the timing slowly and accurately.

Rather than trying to sing the whole thing at once, practice section by section so it doesn’t get jumbled and is easier to memorize.

In parts with lots of words, clapping along, keeping the rhythm with your body, or speaking crisply will help you lock into the beat.

For the chorus, try swaying side to side as if you’re dancing; you’ll be able to sing more energetically, which helps you hit the high notes and project your voice.

Since it’s an idol song, the most important thing is to have fun singing it.

Singing with high energy makes it easier to project, so try singing with a smile!
