Karaoke Popularity Rankings by Generation: Teens [2026]

Double Double FIGHT!CANDY TUNE57rank/position

[MV] CANDY TUNE “Bai Bai FIGHT!”

CANDY TUNE is an idol group from ASOBISYSTEM, currently the hottest idol agency.

They specialize in pop and cute styles, with releases from 2023.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Baibai FIGHT!” It’s popular on TikTok, so many high schoolers probably know it.

This track has a lot of spoken-style phrases, giving it a rap-like element, but in terms of following the pitch, it’s very easy to sing.

The overall sound is pop, and the vocal range is mid1 G# to hi D—so it’s not excessively wide.

If you can handle the spoken delivery, you should be able to sing it without any issues.

It’s guaranteed to hype up the crowd, so definitely add it to your repertoire.

ElfAdo58rank/position

[Ado] Elf

Ado, a female singer who consistently appears at the top of the Japanese music charts.

Given her overwhelming vocal prowess not only in the utaite community but across the J-pop scene, teenage girls who aren’t confident singers might not even think to try her songs in the first place.

For those listeners, we recommend Elf.

Among Ado’s tracks, this one has a relatively narrow vocal range, and it doesn’t feature the dramatic vocal lines that alternate repeatedly between falsetto and chest voice.

It’s also a big hit at karaoke, so be sure to check it out.

365 Days’ Paper AirplaneAKB4859rank/position

[MV] Paper Airplane of 365 Days (Short ver.) / AKB48 [Official]

For those who struggle to stay on pitch, I recommend the song “365 Nichi no Kamihikōki” (“365-Day Paper Airplane”).

It was released in 2015 by the nationally popular idol group AKB48.

This heartwarming song is loved by a wide range of age groups.

Its beautiful sound, driven by acoustic guitar and strings, is truly moving.

The melody is clearly divided from the A verse to the B verse and the chorus, so practicing phrase by phrase is a helpful tip.

Once you can keep time at its slow tempo, even women who aren’t confident at karaoke will be able to sing it well.

Yorushika – Sun (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika’s masterpiece “Taiyō” (“The Sun”).

Among Yorushika’s songs, this piece boasts one of the narrowest vocal ranges.

Typically, songs with a narrow range are sung in the mid register, but this one is sung mostly in the low register.

As a result, for many women it will feel like singing in their speaking voice.

Because of this, there’s very little strain on the throat, and the vocal line itself is simple with minimal contour, making it undeniably easy to sing.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Pilafian – TETETE

Pilaf Seijin is a rapper drawing attention in the MC battle scene.

While opinions about him in battles are divided, his recorded tracks have been highly praised, especially among teen heads.

Among his songs, the one I particularly recommend is “TETETE.” It’s a track drenched in Auto-Tune, but the flow itself is fairly simple and melodious, leaning more toward a vocal performance than straight rap.

Though it sits on the higher side, the overall range isn’t very wide, making it a song that’s relatively easy to sing for all genders.

"Spell" by Ado

This track was selected in September 2023 as the theme song for USJ’s Halloween event, “Zombie de Dance.” Ado’s overwhelming vocal prowess and the danceable sound infused with electro-swing make it an incredibly cool song.

The lyrics, packed with complex kanji, are distinguished by their rhythmic flow and pleasing phonetics, expressing both the resolve to take the stage and a passion for self-expression.

The arrangement by Giga and TeddyLoid keeps unfolding with new developments, yet maintains an infectious groove that makes you want to start dancing.

It’s guaranteed to amp up the energy if you sing it at karaoke.

A must-listen for anyone who loves Ado’s music!

SPECIALZKing Gnu63rank/position

King Gnu – SPECIALZ

King Gnu’s songs set your heart on fire.

Their powerful message—live true to your emotions—will surely give listeners a push forward.

This track serves as the opening theme for the second season of the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen and was released in September.

Its dark, weighty sound and driving melody stand out, perfectly matching the anime’s worldview.

The music video also generated buzz, and the song’s streaming count surpassed 100 million in just 12 weeks.

It’s the perfect track for high school students who want to get hyped at karaoke—why not sing it with friends and color your youth?
