Among those songs, which ones do users find “easy” or “difficult” to sing at karaoke? We’ll share the reasons for their choices, as well as stories of people actually singing them. In addition, based on the average scores of JOYSOUND’s scoring function “National Scoring,” which allows users to compete with users from all over the country, we will be releasing a ranking of songs that are easy to aim for a high score on and, conversely, songs that are difficult to score well on, as well as the “Mrs. GREEN APPLE 10th Anniversary Karaoke Ranking,” which traces the changes in popular karaoke songs over the past 10 years. ▽Mrs. GREEN APPLE×JOYSOUND collaboration special page:

Some users said it’s a ballad that can be sung naturally without raising your voice, making it easy to convey emotion. Coming in third was “Lilac.” This popular song topped the charts for the first half of 2025, and many people find that listening to it often makes the melody and rhythm naturally familiar and easy to sing. Meanwhile, the song chosen as the most “difficult” to sing at karaoke is “Tengoku,” the theme song for the film “#Tell Me the Truth.” The song spans a range of more than two octaves, making it difficult to switch between chest and falsetto, making it a test of the singer’s expressiveness and technique. The second-placed song, “Soranji,” also features small pitch shifts, making it extremely difficult to sing while maintaining pitch. Coming in third place was “Kusushiki.” With its melody line that moves back and forth between highs and lows and its rhythm fluctuating, many people commented that it was difficult to grasp the rhythm. These results reveal that songs that require a wide vocal range or have large fluctuations in pitch tend to be perceived as difficult to sing at karaoke. ■User feedback (Reasons for song selection) 【1st Place】 Darling – There are few high notes or difficult pitches. The key is easy for both men and women to sing. (Teenager) – The tempo is slow, making it easy to take a breath. The range of notes isn’t too wide, making it easy to sing. (30s/Female) 【2nd
Place】Harushou – The range of the vocals is natural, and the lyrics are easy to relate to as if you’ve experienced something, so it’s easy to get emotionally involved! (Teenager/Female) – The mellow tones allow you to sing with feeling! (Female, 20s) 【3rd Place】 Lilac – The key point is that it’s easy to hit high notes and create excitement. (Male, Teens) – It’s so famous and popular that you’ll inevitably hear it wherever you are, and since you’re always humming it, you’ll know the pitch and have fun singing along!! (Teen/Female) [1st place] Heaven – I found it difficult because there were parts where the range of pitch was wide, and the highest notes were simply high. I couldn’t imitate Motoki Omori’s expressiveness no matter how hard I tried. (Male, Teens) – It’s just so high! So low! And if I put too much emotion into singing it, I feel like I’d collapse. It feels like I’m going to heaven…lol (Teenager/Female) 【2nd Place】Soranji – The difference in elevation is huge. It’s like a roller coaster. (Teenager/Female) – It’s really difficult to express myself. I can’t express or sing the last chorus as well as Omori-san, and I just can’t hold my breath! (Teenager/Male) 【3rd Place】 Kusushiki – The pitch fluctuates drastically overall, so I felt it required technique. (Teenager/Female) ・I just can’t keep up with the pitch! On top of that, the tempo is fast and the lyrics have a unique rhythm, so it’s difficult… (Male, Teenager) ■Mrs. GREEN APPLE songs that are easy and difficult to score well on karaoke: National average score ranking Based on the average scores of the “National Scoring” scoring feature, which allows you to compete with users from all over the country, we’ve announced the top 10 songs that are easy and difficult to score well on!

It also ranked 9th among the songs chosen by users as easy to sing, and with a range that’s not too wide and a catchy melody that’s easy to remember, it’s a song that’s easy to aim for a high score. “Darling,” which was ranked first in the survey as an easy song to sing, was not ranked in this ranking at 26th place (average score 89.581 points), resulting in a gap with users’ perceptions. However, “Shunshuu,” which came in second in the survey, ranked 8th place (average score 91.356 points), resulting in a link with users’ perception of how easy it is to sing. 【Songs that are hard to score well in karaoke】 On the other hand, the song that’s hardest to score well in karaoke is “Kusushiki” (average score: 82.925 points), which ranked third in the survey as a song people find difficult to sing at karaoke. It’s a song that requires a wide range of vocal range, a delicate sense of rhythm, and advanced singing technique, so if you can get a high score, you can be proud of it. Furthermore, “Inferno” and “Ao to Natsu” were ranked highly in the survey as songs that are considered difficult to sing at karaoke, so they are also songs that are difficult to sing well at karaoke and get a high score on. ■Mrs. GREEN APPLE 10th Anniversary Karaoke Ranking Looking back at Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s karaoke rankings over the past 10 years, we’ve revealed the top 5 karaoke rankings, tracing the evolution of their popular songs from 2015 to 2025!
