Aim for a high score! Karaoke songs for men to achieve top scores
If you’re simply aiming for a high score at karaoke, the key points for song selection will naturally be to choose songs with “easy-to-sing melodies,” “easy-to-understand lyrics,” and “clear, straightforward rhythms.”
That being the case, your picks will tend to come from the ’90s and earlier—so-called Showa-era and early Heisei kayōkyoku, new music, and J-pop.
Many recent songs have complex melodies and rhythms, and plenty of people think “This is hard!” after just one listen.
In this article, aimed at men who want to score high at karaoke, I’ve also proactively selected relatively singable tracks even from among more recent songs.
Compared to older hits, these are a bit more challenging to sing, but each song’s write-up includes tips and points to watch for to help you boost your score, so please use this as a guide and give them a try!
It feels great when you nail a high score!

Lion HeartSMAP
It’s a famous SMAP song that expresses the resolve to protect the person you love and their family for a lifetime.
Even today, it’s a classic that’s often sung at weddings.
Overall, the pitch is low and the melody is simple, making it an easy song to sing regardless of age or gender.
dandelionYusuke
It’s a ballad that expresses a love that’s almost too straightforward.
With its relaxed tempo and minimal pitch changes, it’s easy to sing, making it a song where even those who aren’t confident in their singing can aim for a high score.
The key to the chorus is to project boldly and sing with full voice.
Like a white cloudSaru Iwa Ishi
It’s the debut single by the Japanese comedy duo Saruganseki.
The lyrics were written by Fumiya Fujii and the music was composed by Naoyuki Fujii.
Since it’s a ballad built on a very simple melody, I think it’s easy to cover perfectly and a good song for scoring high.
LA LA LA Love SongToshinobu Kubota
This is a timeless masterpiece by the powerhouse vocalist Kubota, loved across generations.
Because the singer’s vocal ability is so exceptional, the song can sound difficult, but in reality there are few spots within the measures where the pitch changes drastically, making it relatively easy to memorize and sing.
Promise of SunflowersMotohiro Hata
This is one of Motohiro Hata’s signature songs, showcasing his clear, translucent voice and overwhelming vocal ability.
It was also used as the theme song for a hugely popular anime, and its straightforward lyrics and musical worldview captured many hearts.
The tempo is relatively slow and the pitch is easy to match, so you can expect a high score.
I can’t say it.Hiromi Go
This is the 66th single by Japanese singer Hiromi Go, released on May 1, 1994.
It’s a beautifully mellow ballad and a true classic.
At the time, it was released as the second installment of Go’s trilogy of ballads.
The melody is very simple and easy to sing, making it a great choice when you want to aim for a high karaoke score with a ballad.
However, if you mumble your way through it, the song can end up sounding quite dull.
When you sing the high parts, such as the chorus, try placing the sound against your upper palate so that the higher overtones resonate clearly.
Just doing that will add a sparkling quality to your voice and make it sound really appealing!
yuzuStory
I looked it up because I thought, “This sounds really familiar,” and it turned out to be the CM song for Toyota’s Ractis! It’s a single released in 2008.
Since it’s a Yuzu song, the range is higher than the average male vocal range, so if you’re good at high notes, it’s easy to sing and a good candidate to aim for a perfect 100.
The chorus has many sustained endings, so make sure to take a breath for each phrase and pay close attention to the pitch bar.
I always told a student who loved Yuzu and sang them all the time, “It’s high, so keep your facial muscles lifted so your pitch doesn’t drop!” It can be tough until you get used to it, but once your pitch dips even for a moment, it’s hard to correct.
Of course, it’s fine to switch to falsetto—just make sure you can place the pitch solidly around the brow area.
The most important factor in scoring is pitch, so focus on maintaining it!
