[For Teen Boys] A Collection of Karaoke Songs That Score High Easily [2026]

music writerKOH-1
Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Compared to songs from a while back, many popular J-pop tracks from the late Heisei to Reiwa era have complex structures and melodies.

A lot of teens may feel, “I want to score high at karaoke, but it’s hard…” Of course, what’s easy to sing varies from person to person, but this time we’ve curated a list of relatively easy-to-sing songs that tend to score well at karaoke, aimed at teenage boys.

We’ve selected popular numbers centered on hits from the Reiwa period, while also including a few slightly nostalgic tracks, so they’re all great for getting the energy up at karaoke.

We’ve also included songs that are approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers, so be sure to check them out.

SEKAI NO OWARI “Highest Altitude” ONE PIECE Lyric MV

As you’d expect, if it’s the theme song of a massively popular anime, you can look forward to a great response at karaoke.

“Saikō Tōtatsuten,” released by SEKAI NO OWARI in 2023, is a digital-only single written as the opening theme for the TV anime ONE PIECE.

The lyric video featuring ONE PIECE footage drew attention as well.

With its catchy, anime-like appeal, refreshing vibe, and a uniquely SEKAI NO OWARI world that even weaves in a marching band-style arrangement midway, this song is sure to liven up any karaoke session.

The melody line stays within a fairly steady pitch range, so even those with lower voices should be able to handle it by adjusting the key.

SEKAI NO OWARI “Amber”

SEKAI NO OWARI are known for their wide musical range, from orthodox rock to fantastical J-pop.

Recently, they shifted their style toward groove-focused tracks, but their new song “Kohaku” returns to their roots with a languid, introspective J-pop vibe.

Because Fukase’s voice is high, it might seem like a high-pitched song, but the range isn’t that wide, and the vocal line is relatively flat with little contour.

There are plenty of long tones, but the pitch is easy to track, so if you can find the right key and maintain stable vocal production, you can definitely aim for a high score.

In 2024, Marcy achieved a milestone by performing at the sacred Nippon Budokan, cementing their status as one of Japan’s leading young bands.

Their lyrics, which capture delicate emotional shifts that resonate with many in the younger generation, and their poignant, melodically sung masterpieces are also very popular at karaoke.

That said, the melodies sung by Ukyo Yoshida’s high-tone voice can seem difficult… For those who feel that way, we recommend Freesia, set for release in April 2025.

Its vocal range is relatively narrow, and it doesn’t require extremely high notes, making it approachable even for singers with lower voices.

Try singing it with enough conviction to fully convey the protagonist’s feelings, and deliver it with emotion.

In conclusion

As mentioned at the beginning, recent J-pop often has very complex structures, unconventional chord progressions and melodies, and can be tough to sing at karaoke. The songs I introduced this time are relatively easy to sing, and with practice you can aim for high scores at karaoke. If you’re not particular about sticking to recent songs, I also recommend deliberately choosing easy-to-sing hit songs from the Showa to Heisei eras—the kind that were popular with your parents’ generation!
