Recommended Japanese pop songs for elementary school students to sing at karaoke

My Hero Academia: Season 2, Cour 1 Non-Credit Opening Video / OP Theme: “Peace Sign” by Kenshi Yonezu / MHA OP

It’s the opening theme song for the popular anime “My Hero Academia.” Released in 2017 as Kenshi Yonezu’s seventh single, its sense of speed and passionate, hero-themed lyrics, combined with the cool visuals of the opening animation, helped it gain popularity.

We are!

ONE PIECE OP1 We Are!

After all, I think anime songs are the best recommendation for elementary school students.

For kids who grew up watching a lot of TV, their ears often remember the tunes automatically.

This song from that anime, which has the theme of friendship, is probably familiar to most people, so I think it’s quite easy to sing.

RADWIMPS – Zenzenzense (movie ver.) [Official Music Video]

Here’s the theme song “Zenzenzense” from the smash-hit animated film “Your Name.” The song became a huge hit along with the movie’s release, and as you’d expect from the highly skilled rock band RADWIMPS, the track itself is really cool.

In the chorus where they sing “Zenzenzense,” it builds excitement and hype, making it a lot of fun to listen to.

Angel and DemonGRe4N BOYZ

GRe4N BOYZ / “Angel & Devil” Anime ONE PIECE Opening Theme Song

The anime One Piece has been loved for many years.

Because it’s such a long-running series, the theme song changes every few cours.

The song Tenshi to Akuma (Angel and Devil) is the latest opening theme.

It’s by GRe4N BOYZ, but it doesn’t feature much of their signature high tones.

While the overall range is on the higher side, it’s not extremely wide, so it’s actually a song that’s relatively easy for young elementary school children with youthful voices to sing.

Mission! Health Number OneRED BLOOD CELL

Mission! Health Number One

The anime Cells at Work! gained attention for its original concept of turning the inside of the human body into a story.

Its medical supervision is solid, and some scholars even recommend it for educational purposes.

The song Mission! Health Comes First is the opening theme of Cells at Work!, with a pop vibe.

The vocal range is narrow and there aren’t many long sustained notes, so as long as you can handle the macrophage part’s spoken-style lines, it can be considered a very low-difficulty piece.

Charisma of ArroganceUNISON SQUARE GARDEN

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “Bojyaku no Charisma” Music Video

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN is a legendary band in the anisong scene.

They’ve built a solid career, and since they keep creating theme songs for anime, I think many elementary school students know them as well.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Bojaku no Charisma.” It’s sung within a relatively narrow range, from mid1 G# to high C#, and it doesn’t include any rapid-fire phrases.

While it’s a bit on the high side, it’s actually a vocal range that might be easier for elementary school kids to sing.

Soliloquy MV [Chiikawa MAD] [Music Video]

Chiikawa is a popular anime loved by a wide range of people, from elementary school children to adults.

The song “Hitorigotsu” is sung by Hachiware, a character in the series.

Given the time slot it airs in, most elementary schoolers have probably heard it at least once.

The piece is characterized by a very simple vocal line.

The pitch movement is very gentle and the range is quite narrow, so even upper-grade students whose voices may be unstable due to voice change can sing it without any problem.
