Karaoke Popularity Rankings by Generation: Teens [2026]

Mosa o.gyutto.15rank/position

Tightly. / Mosawo. [Music Video]

Singer-songwriter Mosawo, who is popular for her gentle lyrics and musicality that resonate with Gen Z.

Her hallmark is a whisper voice—soft vocals laced with breath—and all her works are crafted to make the most of that tone.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Gyutto.

Most of the track sits in the mid-range, so as long as you match the key, anyone can sing it comfortably.

The vocal line is also calm, without abrupt jumps in pitch.

[MV] CUTIE STREET “Single-minded Cinderella!”

In recent years, idol groups that push an intense sense of “KAWAII” to the forefront and rack up major viral hits on social media have been on the rise, and one of the most representative is surely CUTIE STREET.

The ripple effects of their debut single, “Isn’t Being Cute Enough?”, are still being felt in 2025, but today we’re focusing on “Single‑minded Cinderella!”, which released its audio in 2024 and had its music video unveiled on YouTube the following January.

As of May 2025, it has surpassed 14 million views, a testament to the overwhelming attention they’re receiving.

Of course, “Single‑minded Cinderella!” is also an idol song brimming with their signature, overwhelming cuteness, positive lyrics that boost self‑esteem, and a dazzling ensemble.

It’s less about vocal difficulty and more about how deeply you can immerse yourself in its world, so sing it while channeling your very best, most adorable self!

To all my ex-girlfriendsKoresawa17rank/position

Koresawa - To All My Ex-Girlfriends [Lyric Video]

Koresawa, who enjoys overwhelming popularity especially among younger generations, is a singer-songwriter from Osaka known for basically not showing her face and appearing as “Reko-chan,” a bear girl, in MVs.

Her songs—sung with outstanding melodic sense and lyrics that skillfully, and at times candidly, express women’s true feelings—are also hugely popular at karaoke.

The track we’re introducing this time, the impressively titled “To All My Ex-Girlfriends,” is a digital single released in 2024 and a hit distinguished by its MV set in a karaoke box.

Its country-flavored, upbeat sound, lyrics that keep slightly hard-to-say emotions bright, and catchy melody all showcase her impeccable taste.

While the overall pitch sits a bit on the higher side, the melodic line is easy to sing, and those with lower voices can handle it just fine by adjusting the key.

Be mindful of the bouncy rhythm, and make sure to bring out the contrast between smoothly connected sections and crisply articulated parts!

If I could become a constellationkessoku bando19rank/position

[Lyric Video] Kessoku Band “If We Could Become Constellations” / In-episode song from TV anime “Bocchi the Rock!” Episode 12

Kessoku Band’s most famous song, “If We Could Become a Constellation.” The melody isn’t difficult and the rhythm is calm, so many of my vocal training students chose to sing it.

Actually, JOYSOUND staff are doing something called the “95-Point Challenge” with this song, so with practice you might be able to boost your score quite a bit! The overall vocal range is G3–C#5.

The chorus hits C5 repeatedly, so some people might feel it’s “high,” but the melody has momentum, so if you focus on accents, you’ll be fine! First, listen carefully to identify which parts are the high notes.

Take the spots where you think, “Maybe here?” and turn them into accents by riding the rhythm with some drive.

The key point is to project your voice forward! Start with sectional practice so you can produce sound comfortably, and do your best!

RPGSEKAI NO OWARI20rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI「RPG」

SEKAI NO OWARI’s classic song “RPG.” This work, which could be called the culmination of the band’s fantastical musical style from their early days, is something anyone born in the Heisei era has probably heard at least once.

Surprisingly, the song’s vocal range is quite narrow, spanning from mid1 C# to hi A.

Since the frequently used notes are also on the lower side, even men with lower voices can sing it without issue if they drop the key.

If you want to boost the quality, try mixing in breaths like Fukase does—doing so will really liven things up at karaoke.

Saucy Dog “Cinderella Boy” Music Video <5th Mini Album “Lazy Sunday” Released on 2021.8.25>

This is a poignant song that portrays the pain and inner conflict of love.

Released by Saucy Dog in August 2021, it sharply expresses actions that go against one’s true feelings and the sense of betrayal within a romantic relationship.

Written from a female perspective, the lyrics skillfully depict the protagonist’s complex emotions as she struggles with the gap between ideals and reality.

While pop and melodious, the track carries a bittersweet atmosphere and unfolds with the band’s signature rock sound.

It gained major popularity especially among young people, ranking second in the 2022 annual karaoke charts.

It’s a perfect song for those who want to share the anguish of love, as well as for high school students looking to have fun with friends.
