What karaoke songs can kids sing? Popular karaoke songs for parents and families to sing together (41–50)
That gentle girlsupittsu
This is a song by Spitz that was used as the theme for NHK’s morning drama series “Natsuzora.” From the lyrics to the melody, the song exudes a gentle, enveloping warmth, and many listeners may find it soothing.
Spitz debuted in 1991 and still remains at the forefront of the music scene, attracting fans across a wide age range.
As the theme of a morning drama, its recognition is excellent.
It’s recommended both as a karaoke song for children and as a track for parents and kids to enjoy together!
Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro
How about enjoying this gentle, heartwarming song together as a parent and child? Written by singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata, known for his clear, expansive vocals, it was released in 2014 as his 17th single.
Chosen as the theme song for the film “STAND BY ME Doraemon,” it became a popular piece loved by a wide range of generations, from children to the elderly.
The lyrics—saying, “I’m always thinking of you, someone so precious”—are truly wonderful, aren’t they? Since it’s a relatively relaxed song, it might be good to focus on carefully following the melody.
paprikaFoorin
This song was written and composed by Kenshi Yonezu, the singer-songwriter behind numerous hit songs such as “Lemon” and “Kanden,” and it was created as a support song for the “NHK 2020 Support Song Project.” Since it was featured on various NHK children’s programs, it became a popular dance song among kids from preschoolers to elementary school students.
Because it’s made for children, it’s easy to sing, and many kids are sure to start dancing as soon as the melody starts.
The positive lyrics are also truly wonderful.
GeGeGe no KitaroAdo
The classic series GeGeGe no Kitaro has been remade many times.
There are also many feature-length anime versions, and the theme song changes each time.
This piece was released as the opening theme for the TV special “GeGeGe no Kitaro: The Generations of GeGeGe I Loved.” The vocals are by Ado, who is hugely popular among elementary school students, and the arrangement adds far more horror elements and intensity than the original.
While the arrangement itself is complex, the vocal line is simple, so if sung straightforwardly, even elementary school students should be able to handle it with ease.
Pig Thunder (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi
Yukopi is a Vocaloid producer whose music is characterized by a surreal atmosphere with a subtle sense of cuteness.
Yukopi has created many masterpieces, but the one I particularly recommend as an easy-to-sing song for elementary school students is “Buta Thunder (feat.
Kaai Yuki).” Although the vocal range is slightly high at mid2 A# to high C, the overall range isn’t wide, so depending on the key, the difficulty can drop significantly even for elementary schoolers whose voices may be unstable.
It doesn’t require intricate techniques, and the melodic rises and falls are gentle, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Deer-Colored DaysKanoko Noko
In student communities, especially among elementary schoolers, there tends to be a stronger emphasis on how a song goes viral, the scale of that buzz, and the impact of the track itself, rather than just the quality of the music.
With that in mind, I recommend “Shika-iro Days.” It was released as the theme song for the popular anime “Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan,” and it became a massive hit on social media thanks to its striking hook.
The song features a lot of conversational-style rap, and the vocal lines are kept light, resulting in a relatively narrow range.
As long as you set the key right, it should be easy for anyone—regardless of gender or whether their voice is changing—to sing it well.
Album of Memories
“Omoide no Album” is a song often sung at kindergarten and nursery school graduation ceremonies.
It reminds me of singing it at my own kindergarten graduation.
The lyrics move through the seasons, which makes a strong impression: from spring to summer, then autumn and winter.
And when spring comes around again, it’s graduation season.
Even after becoming an elementary school student, I want to quietly tuck those happy memories into the album of my heart.
How about singing it at karaoke with childhood friends or family? Nostalgic memories are sure to come flooding back.
