Released in January 2024, “Bansanka” reached No.

achieving a remarkable feat at the astonishing age of 15.

Her mature vocal tone, versatile expressive ability, and exceptional songwriting skills are truly impressive, and there are surely many people of her generation who admire her and practice her songs at karaoke.

While tuki.’s songs can seem difficult, “Ai no Shoumikigen,” released in September 2024, is relatively easier to sing and is recommended for those aiming for high karaoke scores.

The melody sits on the higher side, but the overall range is somewhat narrow, so even those with lower voices should be able to take it on if they adjust the key to suit their voice.

The final chorus modulates, so be careful not to go off pitch.

After all, I’m an idolAKB4837rank/position

Nantettatte Idol Music Video / AKB48 10th Album [Official]

AKB48 is an idol group that has been active for many years.

They have produced numerous classic songs, and recently they released a cover of a classic hit.

That song is “Nantettatte Idol.” The original is a masterpiece by Kyoko Koizumi, released in 1985.

As a product of the Showa era, it features a catchy vocal line with relatively little melodic variation.

On the other hand, it contains quite a few sustained notes, so a certain level of endurance is required.

Specially, do it.＝LOVE38rank/position

=LOVE (Equal Love) / 18th Single “Tokubechu, Shite” [MV full]

The idol group =LOVE, produced by Rino Sashihara.

The strategy that leverages the classic idol know-how Sashihara cultivated in AKB and HKT is brilliant, and even in the Reiwa era it continues to capture men’s hearts much like in the Heisei era.

I imagine many male high school students are fans of =LOVE as well.

Among their songs, Tokubechu, Shite is particularly exciting and easy to sing.

In terms of the main melody, the highest note is hi D#, so for women, with the right key adjustment, it should be quite singable.

I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. chū-tan39rank/position

Sukicchu-no! feat. Chuutan (CV: Saori Hayami) / HoneyWorks

The classic song “Sukicchuu no!” by HoneyWorks and Chuutan.

Compared to the previous work “Kawaikute Gomen,” the coyness is toned down, but femininity is brought to the forefront.

Contrary to its pop impression, the range sits around mid2B to hiD, so it isn’t particularly low.

However, since the overall range is on the higher side, key adjustments will be necessary in most cases.

It’s a song that tends to be well-received by men, so if you’re a high school girl, consider adding it to your repertoire.

Night journeyYorushika40rank/position

Yorushika – Night Journey (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika is a musical unit that has been active as one of the defining acts of the Reiwa era since their late-2010s debut, creating songs with a hybrid, sophisticated musicality that spans various genres and a lyrically poetic worldview.

Their track Yakō (Night Journey), released in 2020, is a masterpiece noted for its particularly lyrical side and a somewhat nostalgic atmosphere.

The melody line, delivered in a slightly rapid, restrained, and conversational singing style, is the kind that demands expressive ability more than sheer vocal power.

However, it doesn’t feature especially difficult high or low notes, making it a song that many people can feel comfortable attempting.

Try to avoid sounding too flat, and be sure to read the lyrics carefully so you can sing them with intention.

Love♡Scream!AiScReam41rank/position

AiScReam “Love♡Scream!” Official Lyric Video

Right now, the work “Ai♡Scream!” is hugely popular on platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

Cutesy behavior can sometimes be irritating, but when it’s taken as far as it is in this piece, those feelings might not even arise.

Emphasizing femininity and a hyper-cutesy style to the extreme, this song is guaranteed to be a big hit at karaoke.

There are some spoken phrases, so you’ll need to nail the standard intonation there, but overall the vocal line isn’t particularly difficult.

If you focus on following the pitch, anyone should be able to sing it easily.

UDAGAWA GENERATIONSakurazaka4642rank/position

Sakurazaka46 “UDAGAWA GENERATION” Music Video

Among the Sakamichi groups, Keyakizaka46 is particularly known for its stylish musicality.

While their music video features a circus theme, the song itself is crafted with a development that feels more like Showa-era kayōkyoku than gothic.

The vocal range is narrow, and the melodic rises and falls are gentle, so even those who can’t hit high notes should be able to sing it without issue.

It’s especially recommended for teenage girls going through a period of vocal instability.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
