Top Karaoke-Friendly Songs for Teens: Popular Artist Rankings [2026]

LUCKY TAPES – A Bouquet for Boring Days [Official Music Video]

Kai Takahashi’s solo project, LUCKY TAPES.

In the early days, their sound often mixed rock and J-pop, but recently the R&B side has grown stronger, and they’ve been releasing many stylish tracks.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Bouquet for Boring Days.” While it’s categorized as J-pop, it carries an R&B-like groove in places.

That said, the rhythm isn’t difficult, and it doesn’t feature the advanced vocal techniques common in R&B, such as melisma.

The vocal range is also very narrow, making it a song that should be easy for teenage male singers to perform.

Shine in the Cruel NightLiSA37rank/position

LiSA 'Shine in the Cruel Night' MUSIC CLIP

This is the theme song for the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle Arc Part 1: Akaza’s Return, released on July 19, 2025, and it’s a rock ballad that’s very characteristic of LiSA.

Since it’s a song from the hugely popular Demon Slayer series, many people are likely to know it! Singing it at karaoke could spark conversations about the movie and get everyone excited beyond just the music! The overall vocal range is F3–F5, which is quite wide and should be a very comfortable key for teenage girls.

While the song has some darker tones, that helps it connect with the story, making the lyrics easier to convey.

If you sing the chorus carefully, one phrase at a time, it’s easier to tap into the emotion and it feels great to sing! It’s on the longer side, but try enjoying it as if it contains many songs within one—have fun while you sing!

REACHING FOR THE SKYMAN WITH A MISSION38rank/position

MAN WITH A MISSION「REACHING FOR THE SKY」

MAN WITH A MISSION is a rock band that continues to draw popularity with their sharp, punchy sound.

They’re a mid-career band, but since they’re still active on the front lines, I think many teenage boys are familiar with them.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is REACHING FOR THE SKY.

Despite its exhilarating melody, the piece actually has a surprisingly narrow vocal range, and aside from the sustained long note at the end of the chorus, there aren’t even any mid-to-high notes.

The vocal line also works fine even if sung a bit rough, making it an ideal choice for teenage boys whose voices may still be unstable.

Future IslandMori Calliope39rank/position

[Performance Video] Future Island ~Future Island~ / Mori Calliope (Official Theme Song for ONE PIECE Volume 106)

Hasn’t every teenage girl been interested in VTubers at least once? “Mirai-jima ~Future Island~” is a song by the popular VTuber Mori Calliope.

It was released as a theme song for the One Piece manga, which made quite a splash at the time.

The track highlights Mori Calliope’s crisp and cute voice.

Although her voice is high, making it seem difficult to sing, the song doesn’t actually have a wide vocal range, so it should be relatively easy to sing.

Rain MaidenRaon40rank/position

Raon 라온 | 'Rain Maiden (Ameotome)' M/V

Raon is a singer from South Korea.

Although she’s a Korean artist, she has released many songs in Japanese, making her popular in the J-pop scene as well.

Among Raon’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Ame Otome” (Rain Maiden).

It exudes a dark atmosphere.

The entire song is sung using a whisper voice from start to finish.

This whisper vocal style is easy to produce even for those who aren’t confident singers, and it tends to sound good without requiring special techniques.

Try singing it without forcing your voice—comfortably, and with a dark tone.

You and the summer music festivalSHISHAMO41rank/position

SHISHAMO “You and the Summer Festival”

Although it was released in 2014, this classic hit, “Kimi to Natsu Fes,” has become hugely popular among Gen Z through platforms like TikTok.

It was SHISHAMO’s first single, the beloved three-piece band, and its music video is known for being set at the music festival “VIVA LA ROCK,” which took place in May 2014.

With its upbeat, straightforward guitar sound, catchy melody, and heart-fluttering lyrics, it’s a song we’d love to hear teenage girls who love festivals—or dream of going to them—sing.

You’ll want to pay a bit of attention to the key change in the chorus, but it’s not difficult; just ride the uptempo rhythm and sing naturally!

ano “Just the Two of Us in This World” Music Video

Ano-chan, a talent who’s in constant demand on TV.

She also works as an artist under the name “ano” and has produced several big hits, such as “Chu, Tayousei.” Because her voice is very high-pitched, women with lower voices might think her songs are hard to sing—but “Kono Sekai ni Futari Dake” is different.

While it has a bright vibe, the song is written within a narrow range.

If you set the key properly, even women with lower voices should be able to sing it without any problem.

In fact, precisely because the range is narrow, it might be easier to sing in the right key.
