[2026] Perfect for teen boys: Songs that score easily at karaoke (1–10)
ShakenabeibeNEW!AKASAKI
This song by an active university student singer-songwriter was chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime “Marriage Toxin.” Released digitally on April 8, 2026, it’s a straightforward rock number featuring a driving sound and lyrics that embody the strength to push forward in our own way.
While the tempo gives the vocals a slightly busy feel once they start, the melody itself is simple and easy to remember, so if you listen to it several times while following the lyrics, you should pick it up quickly.
Be sure to keep a solid rhythm through the rapid-fire lines in the first verse.
Wind and TownNEW!Mrs. GREEN APPLE
This is the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Kaze, Kaoru,” released for streaming on April 13, 2026.
Written and composed by Motoki Omori, the song is a celebration of life that emphasizes a comforting ‘ear-pleasing’ quality and gentleness to accompany listeners each morning, characterized by a fresh and warm sound.
Among Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s songs, there are no belted parts; it’s sung with a generally gentle feel, so it seems easy to sing smoothly in falsetto.
Since pitch tends to be more stable in falsetto than in chest voice, you should be able to score high with “Kaze to Machi.”
levitationNEW!Kitanitatsuya
This is a song written as the ending theme for the TV anime “NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE.” It was released early on April 12 and is said to be a work themed around contemporary internet culture and real-world lamentation.
Since the vocal range isn’t very high overall, it should be easy to sing even for those who struggle with high notes.
There are some falsetto parts, so the key is to produce your voice without straining.
When you sing, if you keep resonating in the same place without changing where you place the sound, it should help you stay stable and sing more comfortably even when the range or melody changes.
Be sure to keep that in mind.
HontoNEW!sumika
This song was written as the theme for Doraemon the Movie: New Nobita’s Undersea Devil’s Rock Castle and was released on February 25, 2026.
In addition to the regular edition, it was released in three formats, including a limited edition with live footage from Zepp Haneda and special bonuses, as well as a Doraemon edition.
The overall vocal range spans B2 to B4, covering two octaves and giving the song a slightly bright, higher feel.
Listening through to the end, the latter half evokes the Doraemon theme more strongly, making it especially fun.
From the chorus, if you lift your eyebrows and engage your facial muscles while singing, the high notes should come out more smoothly.
You are my loverNEW!Ōishi Masayoshi
Opening theme song for the TV anime “The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten” Season 2.
Digital distribution begins on April 3, 2026, with the CD release on June 3.
Written, composed, and arranged by Masayoshi Oishi himself, it’s a refreshing track that embodies the anime’s worldview.
Characteristic of anime singer Oishi’s style, the song features his expansive, chest-voice high tones, making it a perfect fit for singers who can comfortably sustain the higher register.
While the melody may be a bit challenging, the tempo isn’t too fast, so if you can settle into the groove and sing calmly, you should be able to aim for a high score.
sparkNEW!Kitanitatsuya
This is a song written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime “Japan Sangoku.” It was released digitally in advance on April 5, 2026, and the music video was unveiled on the 16th.
With a world that fuses a traditional Japanese atmosphere and jazz, it’s a passionate track that depicts the story’s theme of “the reunification of near-future Japan.” A hallmark of Kitani’s songs is that they don’t feature many high notes.
Since it’s a rhythmic piece, be sure to engage your diaphragm (tanden) and sing steadily so your voice doesn’t waver.
The melody can feel a bit complex, so I think it’s good to practice repeatedly while looking at the lyrics.
transparentNEW!Novelbright
This is a newly written song serving as the opening theme for the TV anime “Ice Wall,” which begins airing on April 2, 2026.
A fantastical music video depicting an icy world and the distortion of light has been released, and the track is a coming-of-age rock ballad that carries a forward-looking emotion amid its poignancy.
Featuring Yudai Takenaka’s signature high-tone vocals, it’s a perfect song for those confident in their upper register.
Additionally, the key changes in the final chorus, raising the vocal range even further, so the key point is to produce the sound lightly without straining.
Try singing as if your voice is being gently pulled upward from above your head.
