Recommended karaoke songs for teenage girls: classic and popular J-pop hits.

After all, I’m an idolAKB48

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.

ElfAdo

[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.

Single‑minded Cinderella!CUTIE STREET

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

CUTIE STREET is the idol group whose popularity is skyrocketing right now.

In an era where the K-pop boom has people gravitating toward stylish groups, they’re gaining fans with a classic, distinctly Japanese idol image.

Their popular song “Single-minded Cinderella!” features a bright tone while staying within a narrow vocal range throughout.

The tempo isn’t fast, and there aren’t any sudden jumps in pitch, making it a very singable track for teenage girls.

Follow MeE-girls

E-Girls / Follow Me ～Short Version～

E-girls have plenty of other upbeat songs you can sing and dance to, but this one is definitely the top pick thanks to its popularity.

You can dance to the chorus, and a few people can sing it together like an echo, so it’s sure to get everyone pumped up.

Crazy about youEXILE

EXILE / Ki・mi・ni・mu・chu

I think it’s so popular that it was even used in a commercial and is a must-pick at karaoke among girls.

EXILE’s ballads are great, and their upbeat pop songs like this are great too.

Since everyone knows their music, they’re the perfect artist for karaoke.

DANCE WITH ME NOW!E-Girls

E-girls / DANCE WITH ME NOW!

A must-listen for teen girls, E-girls’ powerful and cool track “DANCE WITH ME NOW!” Even if the title doesn’t ring a bell, you might have heard it as the Samantha Thavasa commercial song.

Great to sing solo or with friends—it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped.

DropHANA

HANA / Drop -Music Video-

HANA is an idol group drawing attention for their high-level performances.

They’re produced by the popular female rapper Chanmina, and their appeal lies in music and performances similar to K-pop.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Drop.

It’s primarily hip-hop and sung mostly in a lower register.

It’s a piece that emphasizes groove over vocals, so there aren’t any standout vocal parts.

If you have a low voice and aren’t confident in your singing ability—but you can rap—this is a song you’ll definitely want to try.
