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

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!

SignalWANIMA

WANIMA “Signal” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

It’s a cheer song made by WANIMA, a Tokyo-based band from Kumamoto that’s been skyrocketing in success, like birds falling from the sky in their momentum, aimed at 18-year-olds.

With WANIMA’s signature bright, poppy melodies and straightforward, uplifting lyrics, it gives young people courage and strength.

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!

I want to be lovedYumcha

Yumcha “Aisaretai” [Lyric Video]

The work “Aisaretai,” which gained popularity mainly among teenagers, is a piece by Yumcha that portrays the feelings of a girl who can’t let go of her love for her somewhat deadbeat boyfriend.

While the lyrics are negative, the melody is brimming with pop charm, resulting in an overall bright tone.

Although the song is on the higher side, the vocal range itself isn’t particularly wide.

With proper key adjustment, most women should be able to sing it without issue.

Yes, with pleasure.kocchi no kento

Sure thing / Kocchino Kento MV

Singing the latest hits can show you’re on trend, but classic anthems are still essential for getting the crowd going at karaoke.

That’s why we recommend “Hai Yorokonde.” It’s often seen as high and difficult, but that’s only if you try to replicate the falsetto in the chorus; the highest chest note is mid2 F#, which isn’t particularly high.

The song is guaranteed to hype up the room, but since it has many rapid-fire lyrics, make sure you identify your breathing spots in advance.

I want to become a ghost.Yuika

I Want to Become a Ghost / “Yuika” [MV]

This is the opening theme song for the TV anime “Wataru-kun’s XX Is on the Verge of Collapse,” which began airing in July 2025.

It’s especially popular among students, and some of my students who like Yuika have been singing it too! When I listened to the song, my impression was that the rhythm in the chorus is tricky.

If you try to sing before memorizing the melody, you might not know where to break phrases or where to breathe.

If you hum along while listening, you can memorize the melody, and once you can hum it lightly, you’ll be able to relax and sing more easily.

The chorus uses the same melody with only slight changes to the lyrics, so once you get past that part, it should be easier to sing.

Also, if breathing is difficult, don’t try to sing everything at 100%; try easing your voice in little by little.

When you hit a spot where you can think, “I can breathe here!” take a deep breath!

Youth Rhapsodynaniwa danshi

Naniwa Danshi – Youth Rhapsody [Official Music Video] YouTube ver.

When it comes to Naniwa Danshi’s appeal, it’s definitely their bright and refreshing vocals, right? With that in mind, I recommend this song, “Youth Rhapsody.” The rapid-fire part appears right from the intro, so it might seem difficult, but it isn’t a flow-heavy rap—it’s a more monotonous, chant-like section.

As long as your enunciation is steady, you should be able to get through it without trouble.

The highest note is hi F, while the lowest is mid C#; so while the range reaches high, it isn’t very wide overall.

As long as you adjust the key properly, it’s a song that’s quite easy to sing.
