Rira Ikuta “Sparkle” Official Music Video

A song with a refreshing vibe that stands up to the summer heat.

Lila Ikuta’s transparent, airy vocals are especially striking.

This work gently portrays the bittersweet ache of a first love, likening it to a shooting star.

The lyrics, imbued with a wish to cherish the memories of a fragile romance, are sure to resonate.

It’s included on the album “Sketch,” released in March 2023, and was also selected as the theme song for ABEMA’s show “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita.” It’s a perfect pick for karaoke, too.

How about singing out the feelings you keep in your heart to its gentle melody?

Just a little more

A music unit, YOASOBI’s digital single released on May 10, 2021.

It is their ninth digital single.

The song was also selected as the 2021 annual theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV.” This track has a light, slightly swung rhythm, making it easy and fun to hum along to at karaoke—even for those who don’t often sing.

Of course, YOASOBI’s singer ikura is highly regarded for her vocal ability; if you listen closely to her performance, you’ll notice how skillfully she switches her vocal delivery depending on the melody and lyrics.

Also, perhaps because YOASOBI’s songwriter Ayase started out as a Vocaloid producer, the sound production uses pitch correction as an effect.

Some people who aren’t confident singers might find that off-putting, but the song itself—especially the vocal melody—is very approachable and pop-leaning.

Don’t let your first impression fool you; feel free to pick it at karaoke and have fun with it!

Japanese rice is the best in the world.Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai66rank/position

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai “Japanese Rice Is the Best in the World”

With an unmistakably provocative band name that sticks in your head once you hear it, this is a track from the Japanese loud rock band Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai’s mini-album “Mada Mada Shinmai,” released in April 2015.

Judging from the band name and the song title, you might assume it’s a novelty/comic song, but it’s actually crafted at a fairly high level as a rock tune.

If you’re not confident in your singing and try to perform it exactly like the original, you might end up frustrated.

There are many sections that require high-tone shouts, so it’s important to lower the key just enough that the high notes don’t become too easy, but still have some challenge.

To sing high notes without straining your throat, vocal training lessons are essential, so if you don’t have experience, be careful not to force shouts and hurt your throat.

Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu / “Super Strongest” Music Video

An idol group that has gained popularity with a music style and aesthetic fully devoted to uniquely Japanese cuteness, Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu.

Because they are known as successors to Momoiro Clover Z and Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, I think any high school otaku well-versed in idol culture would know them.

Their song “Cho Saikyo” is a signature piece of theirs.

While it gives a pop impression, the vocal range is not that wide at mid2C to hiC♯, and the vocal lines don’t have abrupt pitch jumps, so it’s relatively easy.

First love is cryingaimyon68rank/position

Aimyon – First Love Is Crying [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Aimyon is a female singer-songwriter popular not only among high school students but also among adults.

She’s known for her straightforward musical style and vocals influenced by 1970s folk and pop.

Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend to high school students is “First Love Is Crying.” It’s a track with a memorable melody reminiscent of Kazuo Zaitsu, and the melody line is very simple.

Since it’s the kind of song that moves you through its lyrics, I think even those who aren’t confident in their singing can perform it easily.

Ballad of a SingerSaitō Kazuyoshi69rank/position

Kazuyoshi Saito – Ballad of a Singer [Live ver.]

Released in 1997, this is a classic by Kazuyoshi Saito that continues to be covered by many artists.

It’s also a memorable song for me personally—I once heard a senior I admired sing it at a school festival and couldn’t help but cry.

The tempo is relaxed and the key is easy to sing.

How about trying it at karaoke when you’re with someone you like?

Pilafian – TETETE

Pilaf Seijin is a rapper drawing attention in the MC battle scene.

While opinions about him in battles are divided, his recorded tracks have been highly praised, especially among teen heads.

Among his songs, the one I particularly recommend is “TETETE.” It’s a track drenched in Auto-Tune, but the flow itself is fairly simple and melodious, leaning more toward a vocal performance than straight rap.

Though it sits on the higher side, the overall range isn’t very wide, making it a song that’s relatively easy to sing for all genders.
