harha – Masquerade (Fuji TV Tuesday 9 p.m. drama “STINGERS: Metropolitan Police Undercover Investigation Verification Office” opening theme) - Music Video

harha is a music duo consisting of track maker Haruha and vocalist Yonabe.

Their hallmark is a genre-free musicality, and lately their momentum has been building rapidly.

Among harha’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is their new song, “Masquerade.” If I had to sum it up, it’s quintessentially orthodox.

The range, the pitch movement, and the tempo are all perfectly balanced, so the vocal line has no quirks whatsoever.

A junior high school girl with a steady vocal register should be able to sing it without any trouble.

Yes, with pleasure.kocchi no kento30rank/position

Sure thing / Kocchino Kento MV

Released in 2024, this song became a social phenomenon: the “Giri-Giri Dance” went viral on social media, and it even broke into the top 20 on the Billboard Japan charts.

Kocchino Kento’s sensibility shines through in lyrics born from his own struggles with mental health—spoken head-on yet wrapped in just the right touch of humor and a pop sound that keeps things from getting too dark.

The message embedded in the lyrics—“If you feel at your limit, it’s okay to ask for help”—feels like an anthem for all of us living in the present day.

For karaoke, there are a few slightly fast-paced parts, but with a bit of practice you’ll get the hang of it quickly, and since it’s a song everyone knows, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going.

If you sing it while copying the dance with your friends, it’s even more fun!

platitudes

Suisei Hoshimachi, the VTuber currently attracting the most attention, is a member of hololive and has gained nationwide popularity as an artist.

While many of her songs span a wide vocal range with touches of falsetto, that’s not the case with Kireigoto.

In this piece, aside from a single falsetto moment that appears once in the chorus, there are no high parts, and the song is arranged in a low register throughout.

Even the falsetto line is something she could sing in chest voice but chooses to render in falsetto, making it easy to sing for women with lower voices.

The reason I laughASCA32rank/position

ASCA “The Reason I Smile” Music Video (TV Anime “Butareba: The Story of a Man Turned into a Pig” Opening Theme)

A single by ASCA, released in November 2023.

It was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime “Butareba: The Story of a Man Turned into a Pig.” It’s an upbeat, very energetic track, and since the vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, both tempo-wise and melody-wise it’s an easy pick for karaoke that anyone can sing without strain.

Because it’s such a catchy, groove-heavy song, the performance can fall apart if your vocal rhythm gets sloppy, so be sure to feel the rhythm of the backing track and sing in time!

Double Double FIGHT!CANDY TUNE33rank/position

[MV] CANDY TUNE “Bai Bai FIGHT!”

CANDY TUNE is an idol group from ASOBISYSTEM, currently the hottest idol agency.

They specialize in pop and cute styles, with releases from 2023.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Baibai FIGHT!” It’s popular on TikTok, so many high schoolers probably know it.

This track has a lot of spoken-style phrases, giving it a rap-like element, but in terms of following the pitch, it’s very easy to sing.

The overall sound is pop, and the vocal range is mid1 G# to hi D—so it’s not excessively wide.

If you can handle the spoken delivery, you should be able to sing it without any issues.

It’s guaranteed to hype up the crowd, so definitely add it to your repertoire.

death anniversaryCHANMINA34rank/position

Chanmina – Memorial Day (Official Music Video) –

Chanmina, a female rapper with overwhelming support from young people, continues to broaden her musical range with each step in her career and keeps producing numerous hit songs.

Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend to teenage girls is “Meinichi” (Anniversary of a Death).

This piece portrays the darker sides of society and is crafted with a black, dark tone that perfectly matches its theme.

The vocal line centers on lower registers to fit that mood, making it an easy song to sing even for those who struggle with high notes.

MonitoringDECO*2735rank/position

DECO*27 – Monitoring feat. Hatsune Miku

DECO*27, a pioneer in the Vocaloid scene, enjoys overwhelming support.

The name is pronounced “Deco Nina.” He has created numerous classic tracks, but the one I especially recommend to teenagers is this piece included on the album TRANSFORM.

Released with a music video in November 2024, it captivated audiences with its dark worldview depicting a gaze through a door viewer, and sparked a huge reaction—topping the UGC charts in the first half of 2025.

It blends a nostalgic, Showa-era kayōkyoku-style melody with a heavy low end, and the overall vocal range isn’t very wide.

There are many spoken, conversational sections, so even those who aren’t confident in their high notes should be able to sing it comfortably.

Once you lock into its distinctive rhythm, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going.
