Ketsumeishi “Superstar”

“Superstar” is a song by Ketsumeishi that was used as the opening theme for the anime Crayon Shin-chan.

It’s an upbeat dance track and an easy choice for karaoke.

The tempo is a bit fast, but it’s easy to keep the rhythm, and there isn’t much range in pitch, so even kids who aren’t confident singers will find it easy to sing.

However, there are many rap sections, so if you’re not comfortable with rap, make sure to practice.

That said, there aren’t many super-fast parts, so it’s beginner-friendly.

GReeeeN – Ally

Despite their mysterious identities, the group GReeeeN continues to enjoy enduring popularity.

Looking back now, they were forerunners of today’s “utaite” singers, such as Ado.

GReeeeN keeps releasing hit songs, but since their vocal range tends to be high, many people wonder whether elementary school children can sing them.

Their song “Mikata,” however, has a relatively narrow range among GReeeeN’s tracks and a simple melody, making it suitable for elementary school students to sing.

The lyrics also offer positive moral lessons, so be sure to check it out.
