Ranking of Easy-to-Sing Karaoke and Popular Band Songs Recommended for Junior High School Students [2026]

LOVE ROCKETSThe Birthday16rank/position

The Birthday – LOVE ROCKETS [MV] (Opening theme song of the film “THE FIRST SLAM DUNK”)

The Birthday is a band that’s earned popularity for their sharp garage rock and blues rock, paired with a high sense of style.

The vocals, born from a strikingly raspy voice, pull you into the song’s world in an instant.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend is LOVE ROCKETS.

Since it’s authentic rock, it might be difficult to sing for women or men with a clean vocal tone.

However, for men with a rough, gravelly voice, it’s about as singable as it gets, making it a great pick for those who’ve struggled with singing due to a booze-rasped throat.

Yesterday’s SongWANIMA17rank/position

Yesterday's Song

In general, WANIMA’s songs are thought to be high-energy and high-pitched.

If you feel the difficulty might be high but still want to try something that gets the crowd going, we recommend “Kinou no Uta” (“Yesterday’s Song”).

Included on their first mini-album “Can Not Behaved!!,” this track has a very simple structure and a relatively narrow vocal range, making it approachable even for those who struggle with high notes.

And above all, its standout feature is how short it is—less than a minute long, even including the intro.

Sing it with momentum and make it sound cool!

Velvet Poemback number18rank/position

Velvet Poem

Back number is a band that has gained popularity for their catchy musical style that blends rock elements into J-pop.

From the 2000s to today, they’ve remained at the forefront for nearly 20 years—a remarkably long-lived band.

Over their long career, they’ve also released songs that are simple and easy for anyone to sing.

One such song is Velvet no Uta (Velvet Poem).

While the arrangement has a rock feel, the vocals are firmly rooted in J-pop, and the strong ballad influence makes it comfortable to sing even for those who aren’t into intense vocal styles.

Creephyp – Zarameki (Music Video)

These days it’s easier than ever to explore different genres, but I think J-rock fans remain as passionate as ever.

For junior high school students who love J-rock, I recommend “Zarameki” by CreepHyp.

The song has a cohesive feel reminiscent of indie rock and dream pop, with gently undulating melodies throughout.

As a cutting-edge J-rock track, it might be the perfect song for trend-savvy junior high students.

CreepHyp – “People and People and People and People” (MUSIC VIDEO)

CreepHyp is a band that’s gaining popularity for its catchy musical style.

Their music, which blends delicacy with brightness, is especially popular among teens and people in their twenties of all genders.

Among CreepHyp’s works, the song I particularly recommend to those who aren’t confident in singing is their new track “Hito to Hito to Hito to Hito” (“People and People and People and People”).

While many CreepHyp songs span a wide vocal range, this one is about average in range, and the vocal line feels like typical Japanese rock, so there aren’t any complicated pitch jumps.
