Golden Bomber “Memeshikute” Music Video

This is the sixth single by Golden Bomber, a four-member band that created the one-of-a-kind genre of “visual kei air band” and has earned high praise for the quality of their songs.

It’s also known as Golden Bomber’s signature track, as they performed it for four consecutive years from 2012 to 2015 on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

With catchy choreography—starting with the window-wiping dance—it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped at karaoke with friends.

The key is on the higher side for the average male, making it an easy and recommended number for teenage girls to sing.

First Love Killernozomi79rank/position

Noashi (noa) – First Love Killer [Official Music Video]

Singer-songwriter Noshiki, who’s popular for her quirky melodies and lyrics that resonate especially well with women.

She’s known for a genreless musical style, releasing songs with a different vibe each time compared to her previous work.

Speaking of her signature tracks, wouldn’t “First Love Killer” be the one? While it carries a slightly retro, Showa-era feel, the freshness of the track keeps it far from sounding outdated.

The vocals weave in some rap, and because the range is very narrow, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.

It also goes over great at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

GOOD DAYMrs. GREEN APPLE80rank/position

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!

Merry XmasBoA81rank/position

BoA / Meri Kuri

How about listening to a sublime ballad that will warm your cold winter? “Meri Kuri” is a moving song that portrays heartfelt feelings for someone special in an honest, down-to-earth way.

Released by BoA in 2004, it was featured in an Audio-Technica commercial.

That emotional feeling when the snow falls—everyone has experienced it, right? I think there’s a lot here that teenagers can relate to as well.

Why not belt out this timeless, beloved song at karaoke?

Feverish Demonzutto mayonaka de ii no ni.82rank/position

ZUTOMAYO (Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.) “Warmth Fever Demon” MV (ZUTOMAYO – Warmthaholic)

Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni is a band that enjoys immense popularity among women in their teens and early twenties.

Because the vocalist, ACA-ne, has a fairly high voice, people who aren’t confident with high notes might avoid their songs.

That’s why I recommend Binetsu-ma.

It may sound like a high-pitched track, but the actual vocal range isn’t very wide, so there’s no need to worry from a vocal technique standpoint.

The vocal line is fast in tempo, but the pitch movement is fairly simple, making it a song that’s relatively easy to aim for a high score on.

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.

I want to love you super muchneguse.84rank/position

Neguse. “Super Aishitai” Official Music Video

Neguse is a four-piece rock band with an emo sound that’s popular among young people—if you’re a teen guy who follows Japanese rock, you’ve probably heard of them.

Their track “Super Aishitai” is one of their signature songs, characterized by a soft, youth-evoking tone.

While it’s fairly bright and features a distinctly rock-like riff that bursts through, the vocal line is surprisingly calm and the range is quite compact.

Even teenage boys who find it hard to sing due to voice changes can handle it comfortably, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
