[Middle School Students] Ranking of Easy-to-Sing Western Songs for Karaoke [2026]

AzaleaYonezu Kenshi43rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – Azalea

Kenshi Yonezu’s new song “Azalea.” Recently, Kenshi Yonezu has mainly been releasing tracks that emphasize catchiness, but now he’s dropped a slightly edgier piece.

The appeal of this work lies above all in its downbeat, dreamlike atmosphere.

The vocal range is generally narrow, with no abrupt pitch jumps.

However, since falsetto appears in the final chorus, those who struggle with head voice may need to lower the key by one or two steps to sing it in chest voice.

LOVE ROCKETSThe Birthday44rank/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.

SakurazakaFukuyama Masaharu45rank/position

Masaharu Fukuyama – Sakurazaka (Full ver.)

It’s the theme song of Ucchan Nanchan’s “Future Diary.” It’s a gentle, ballad-style love song and a million seller that was released in celebration of Masaharu Fukuyama’s 10th anniversary since his debut.

I’ve heard that the “Sakurazaka” it’s modeled after exists in two places: Tokyo and Nagasaki.

The song gives off the impression of a slightly grown-up, mature man.

Ponyo on the CliffFujioka Fujimaki & Oohashi Nozomi46rank/position

Ponyo: Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea

It’s the theme song of Studio Ghibli’s animated film “Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea.” The song is by Nozomi Ohashi, who was active as a child actress, and the folk duo Fujioka Fujimaki.

With its relaxed, easy-to-sing chorus, catchy melody, and Nozomi Ohashi’s cute choreography, it became a huge hit across a wide range of ages, especially among young children.

Fujii Kaze – “masshiro” (pure white) [Official Audio]

Singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze, whose vocals are at once ennui-tinged and subtly sexy, leaves a strong impression.

Though he comes from an R&B background and has many technically challenging songs, “Masshiro” is different.

This piece has a soft, dream-pop-like feel, and the vocal lines are gently contoured.

In fact, the range is on the narrower side—mid1 C to mid2 G—so you shouldn’t have trouble with vocal production.

It’s also an easy song to harmonize, so try singing it with a friend.

O flowers now in full bloom,Kobukuro48rank/position

Kobukuro – Oh flowers now in full bloom

Now, Blooming Flowers encourages the resolve to face your dreams and goals.

After being included on the 2013 album One Song From Two Hearts, it was also released as a single in 2014.

The song was used as NHK’s theme for the 2014 Sochi Olympics and Paralympics.

Although it’s in 6/8 time, which can be a bit tricky rhythmically, if you listen closely and lock into the groove, the flowing rhythm becomes easier to sing.

The key isn’t very high either, so it’s a great choice when you want to sing a Kobukuro song in the original key with a cool vibe.

TelepathYorushika49rank/position

Yorushika – Telepath (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika is a male-female duo known for their wistful vocals and catchy melodies, especially popular among teenagers.

Their songs often feature a languid vocal style, with few tracks that require belting.

That makes them an approachable choice even for people who aren’t confident in their singing.

Among their tracks, Telepath is especially recommended.

By intentionally lowering your voice, you can give the song a moody atmosphere—so give it a try.
