[MV full] Koi Suru Fortune Cookie / AKB48 [Official]

A popular song by AKB48, known as a national idol group.

With Rino Sashihara as the center, its easy-to-remember choreography became a hot topic.

The song gives courage to girls who lack confidence.

It’s sure to give you the courage to enjoy life and get through it.

Yukopi – Strong Wind Slicked-back Hair (feat. Kaai Yuki)

I think the current music scene for elementary school students can be broadly divided into four categories: hip-hop, K-pop, viral hits, and Vocaloid.

This time, I recommend “Kyofu All Back (feat.

Kaai Yuki)” as an easy-to-sing popular song from the Vocaloid category.

It’s a hit number by the popular Vocaloid producer Yukopi.

Its uniquely cute yet surreal vibe—something not seen in previous Vocaloid tracks—made a big splash in the scene.

With a range of about mid1 G to hi B, it’s relatively narrow for a Vocaloid song, and there are no fast-tongue-twister sections at all, so the difficulty is definitely easy.

Warai Kata / Yoru no Hito Warai (Official Music Video)

For family or friends karaoke, the duet song we recommend for elementary school students is “Waraikata.” It was created by the influencer Yoru no Hito Warai, who enjoys tremendous support among teens.

They’re also popular as YouTubers, so some elementary schoolers may already know them.

The song features a gentle sound with resonant acoustic tones, which makes a strong impression.

Match the conversational tone with a relaxed singing style! Since the song unfolds with a steady rhythm and range, even kids who aren’t confident in singing can try it with ease.

Give it a go as a duet to deepen bonds between parents and children or among friends.

A popular artist group E-girls, known as the younger sister group of EXILE, covered a hit song by B.B.

Queens.

As the original ending theme for the first season of the TV anime Chibi Maruko-chan, the song is very popular, and because E-girls are also popular among younger generations, the cover drew a lot of attention.

Ponyo: Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea

This piece, born as the theme song for a Studio Ghibli animated film and released in December 2007, expresses the story of a little fish girl who comes from the sea through a catchy melody and charming lyrics.

It drew attention even before the film’s release and became a hit loved by a wide range of generations, from children to adults.

Its simple, easy-to-remember melody is perfect for karaoke.

Fireworks – DAOKO × Kenshi Yonezu (Full)

It’s a song distinguished by a delicate, beautiful melody that fades like fireworks blossoming in the summer night sky.

DAOKO’s translucent vocals and Kenshi Yonezu’s rich, resonant voice express the passage of time and precious memories in a way that sinks into the heart.

Released as a single in August 2017, it was later included on the album “THANK YOU BLUE.” It was selected as the theme song for the anime film “Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?” released the same August, and it topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100.

With a simple, singable melody and a tone that suits both bright and calm voices, it’s perfect for karaoke when you want to get everyone excited or when you want people to listen to your singing.

CREATORs (V-Cinext “Kamen Rider Geats…”

A message song filled with hope, deeply tied to the world of the Kamen Rider series, was released in October 2023, sung by PRAYERs.

Blending a powerful rock sound with electronic elements, the track captivates with its exhilarating rhythm and emotional melody.

The lyrics convey that everyone has the right to be happy and emphasize the importance of having the courage to stay true to one’s beliefs—a message that resonates with children as well.

Produced as an insert song for Kamen Rider Geats: Jamato Awakening, it heightens the climactic scenes and brilliantly captures the work’s worldview.

With its simple, catchy melody, it’s perfect for everyone to sing along together.
