[For Upper Grades] Easy-to-sing songs for elementary school students. Popular karaoke hits that get everyone excited

Strong Wind Slicked-Back (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi

Yukopi – Strong Wind Slicked-back Hair (feat. Kaai Yuki)

I think the current music scene for elementary school students can be broadly divided into four categories: hip-hop, K-pop, viral hits, and Vocaloid.

This time, I recommend “Kyofu All Back (feat.

Kaai Yuki)” as an easy-to-sing popular song from the Vocaloid category.

It’s a hit number by the popular Vocaloid producer Yukopi.

Its uniquely cute yet surreal vibe—something not seen in previous Vocaloid tracks—made a big splash in the scene.

With a range of about mid1 G to hi B, it’s relatively narrow for a Vocaloid song, and there are no fast-tongue-twister sections at all, so the difficulty is definitely easy.

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.

Yes, with pleasure.kocchi no kento

Live – Kento over here and “Yes, with pleasure.”

This is an innovative song distinguished by its bright, refreshing melody and catchy, Morse code–like sounds.

While delivering a message that encourages listeners to face mental health with courage, it also carries the uplifting vibe of a pep song that energizes its audience.

Released by Kocchinoken-to in May 2024, the track broke into the top 20 on the Billboard JAPAN charts and led to winning the Best New Artist Award at the 66th Japan Record Awards.

On social media, the “Giri-Giri Dance” became a hot topic, and a collaboration with Sanrio characters was realized.

With its upbeat, positive tempo, it’s a feel-good song to sing at karaoke—perfect for gatherings with friends.

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.

Fireworks – DAOKO × Kenshi Yonezu (Full)

It’s a song distinguished by a delicate, beautiful melody that fades like fireworks blossoming in the summer night sky.

DAOKO’s translucent vocals and Kenshi Yonezu’s rich, resonant voice express the passage of time and precious memories in a way that sinks into the heart.

Released as a single in August 2017, it was later included on the album “THANK YOU BLUE.” It was selected as the theme song for the anime film “Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?” released the same August, and it topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100.

With a simple, singable melody and a tone that suits both bright and calm voices, it’s perfect for karaoke when you want to get everyone excited or when you want people to listen to your singing.
