Band Ranking Popular with Teens [2026]

Mrs. GREEN APPLE「GOOD DAY」Official Music Video

As for artists popular among teens and ones they want to sing, I’d say it’s got to be Mrs.

(Green Apple).

This is a song born in September 2025 from the wish to “brighten and energize Japan.” The vocal range isn’t extremely high; even at the top it’s a light falsetto in the chorus.

Even teenage boys, whose singing can be unstable, should be able to pull off Mrs.

songs as long as they can clearly switch between chest voice and falsetto.

You’ll want to keep a light feel throughout, so like Omori-san, raise your eyebrows firmly and aim to resonate around your forehead when you project your voice.

Also, since the last chorus modulates and the range goes up, articulating a bit more strongly will help you get more sound out than you might expect!

back number – Horizon

It’s a captivating song with a warm, resonant melody and powerful lyrics.

It portrays the journey from the moment when dreams and hopes collapse, through self-discovery and growth, to finding the light once again.

It was surprise-released on YouTube in August 2020 and officially distributed in August 2021.

Born from thoughts for the students who worked hard toward the Inter-High School Championships that were canceled due to COVID-19, the song spent nine consecutive weeks at the top of streaming charts and became a source of comfort for many.

It’s a track we especially want those facing setbacks or hardships—particularly the younger generation—to hear.

Only for you, clear skiesYorushika3rank/position

Yorushika – Just Clear Skies for You (MUSIC VIDEO)

This is one of Yorushika’s signature songs, released in 2018.

It’s a bittersweet pop track themed around summer, youth, love, and parting.

The overall vocal range is relatively narrow at D4–D#5, so it’s highly recommended for singers who find higher notes easier than lower ones.

In the verses (A and B sections), it’s more spoken than sung, and the spacing between phrases is a key point.

The solid band arrangement makes it easy to lock into the groove, so you’ll likely feel your energy rise in the chorus.

Listen closely to the drums and be careful not to rush the tempo.

In the last chorus, the key changes and the pitch goes even higher, so try to sing with extra drive and momentum.

Ryokuoushoku Shakai 'Mela!' Music Video / Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Mela!

This piece is included on the popular four-piece pop-rock band Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s album “SINGALONG,” released in April 2020.

In 2023, its total streaming count surpassed 300 million, making it a song widely known across generations.

It’s a dazzling track featuring expansive vocals and a driving band sound complemented by a brass section.

Using a breathy, gentle tone for the A and B sections, then switching to a sharp, breathless tone for the chorus will bring out the song’s distinctive coolness.

In the C section after the guitar solo and keyboard solo, just before the ending, aim to convey a gently engaging tone within a sense of power.

And for the ending, let loose and sing your heart out.
