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 Killernozomi77rank/position

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

Singer-songwriter Noashi, who has gained popularity with her offbeat melodies and lyrics that resonate strongly with women.

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

Speaking of her signature tracks, wouldn’t it be “Hatsukoi Killer” (First Love Killer)? While the song carries a slightly retro, Showa-era feel, its fresh production keeps it from sounding outdated.

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

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

GOOD DAYMrs. GREEN APPLE78rank/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 XmasBoA79rank/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.80rank/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.
