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 Kazuyoshi65rank/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.

Bye, my friendbokula.67rank/position

bokula. – By My Friend - [Official Music Video]

A rock song by Hiroshima-born band bokula.

that weaves themes of friendship and parting.

It is included on their second mini-album “Seikatsu ni, Yorisoi.” released on May 4, 2022.

The down-to-earth lyrics and warm melody resonate deeply.

They also launched a tour, the “Itomeru Tour Tour,” starting May 27, 2022.

Sing it with friends at karaoke, and it’s sure to become a memorable track.

It’s a song we especially want male high school students at the end of their youth to hear.

As you take your first steps into a new life, why not hum this tune?

A Lump of LoveKinKi Kids68rank/position

A Lump of Love / KinKi Kids (cover by Rune)

With lyrics by Tsuyoshi Domoto and composition by Koichi Domoto, this KinKi Kids classic is highly regarded not only among fans but also by their Johnny’s juniors.

Its harmonies are beautiful, making it a very fun song to duet.

The key is comfortable for both men and women, and its catchy melody is especially appealing.

The One and Only Flower in the WorldSMAP69rank/position

SMAP – The Only Flower in the World

At this point, the song itself needs no introduction.

Released in March 2003 as SMAP’s 35th single, it has since inspired many cover versions, including a self-cover by Noriyuki Makihara, who wrote the lyrics and composed the music.

If you’re a high school student, there’s a good chance you’ve sung it at a school choir competition.

Perhaps because it was originally written for SMAP, it features a very gentle, easy-to-sing melody—one that I believe is approachable for just about anyone.

Please select this song and let each of your own “flowers of song” bloom!

Say it.Yorushika70rank/position

Yorushika – Say It. (Music Video)

I’m sure there are many high school students who want to try singing Yorushika songs, which are especially popular among teens and people in their twenties.

However, vocalist suis has a very high-level singing voice—with a clear, translucent tone and beautiful falsetto—so while it’s fine if you’ve had solid training, high school students might find it difficult to sing well.

That said, the song “Itte” is one of the easier Yorushika tracks to sing.

There’s no falsetto part, and the key isn’t high, so with practice it’s a highly recommended song you can sing well!
