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.

mermaidSuiyōbi no Campanella77rank/position

Wednesday Campanella “Mermaid”

A pop song that captures the thrill of adventures across the seven seas and the joy of summer festivals.

With a mermaid as the protagonist, it depicts her hopping on both feet at a fest and dancing away the pain.

Through the mermaid, it portrays the fun and freedom of breaking away from the everyday and diving into an extraordinary world.

Released digitally in July 2023, it was created as a campaign song for Coke STUDIO, an experiential music platform provided by Coca-Cola.

This track pairs a pop rhythm with sprightly rap and ear-pleasing synthesizer tones.

Because it can be sung comfortably without belting, it’s also recommended for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.

tripleS ∞! 'Untitled' Official MV

tripleS is a Korean girl group notable for its remarkably large lineup of 24 members.

Their music is charming yet stylish, and they’re gaining popularity not only in Korea but also in Japan.

Among their songs, I especially recommend their new track, “Untitled.” While it has a cool vibe, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow and there are no long sustained notes, making it unexpectedly easy to sing.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

More Berry SummerCUTIE STREET79rank/position

[LIVE Footage] CUTIE STREET “More Berry Summer” 📍Makuhari Messe, International Exhibition Hall, Halls 9–11 (2025/7/21)

It’s a song packed with phrases about youth, friendship, and first love, so it really resonates with teenagers and is easy to sing in your own words.

It’s also performed at summer festivals and has lots of live-style callouts, so it should get everyone hyped at karaoke! The melody is catchy, and the vocal range doesn’t go that high.

Up to the chorus, there’s more call-and-response than “singing,” so enjoy it together with everyone, then switch to a “singing” mindset from the chorus to add dynamics and really bring the song to life.

For the high parts, try singing as if you’re sending your voice far away—your voice will come out more easily, so give it a try! And since the groove is key, the best way is to keep the rhythm with your body while you sing.

The continuation of a dreamMinase Inori80rank/position

Inori Minase “Yume no Tsuzuki” Music Video

It’s a song released on September 3, 2025, and it was apparently created as an homage to Inori Minase’s own song “Yume no Tsubomi.” Overall, it’s bright and slightly high-pitched, so it’s an easy pick for those who are good with higher notes.

If high notes aren’t your strong point, it’s totally fine to lower the key by about two steps.

The melody is fairly simple, so you should be able to learn it quickly! For the high parts, if you just belt with a loud voice, you’ll strain your throat, so raise your tone above your normal speaking voice and use a bright voice as your base.

When you focus on that voice, your eyebrows and facial muscles will naturally lift—do you feel that? Try keeping that expression and projecting your voice far into the distance! If the sound comes out cleanly without catching in your throat, you’re doing it right.

It’ll also make it easier to stay on pitch, so give it a try!
