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!

HAPPY BIRTHDAYback number
Back Number has gained many fans, especially among young people.
Their lyrics are often called “clingy” or “needy,” but that’s likely because they portray emotions that so many people feel in a raw, honest way.
With a relaxed tempo and vocals that aren’t too high, their songs are easy to sing—and great for aiming for a high score.
In the Rain of RemembranceMasaharu Fukuyama
This is the first single by Masaharu Fukuyama, who is active as an actor and singer, released in March 1990.
It was produced by Hisashi Shirahama, formerly of ARB.
While Fukuyama now showcases a rather mature, deep singing voice, this debut single lets you enjoy his very youthful vocals.
It’s a very straightforward, easy-to-understand rock song, and since it doesn’t feature extremely high or low notes, it could be a great choice to aim for a high score at karaoke.

Lost itemTatsuya Kitani
Compared to his high notes, Tatsuya Kitani gives a stronger impression with his lower range, doesn’t he? He has a signature song called “Ao no Sumika,” but in fact, the new song “Nakushimono” has a narrower range and might be easier for low-voice male singers to sing in chest voice.
There are a few higher parts in the chorus, but falsetto works just fine there.
Just note that the last chorus modulates and goes up by a whole step.
If you can get through that section when you sing, you’ll be golden—so add some momentum and let your voice out!
So, I got sunburned.Mao Sasagawa
Singer-songwriter Mao Sasagawa, recognized even by Tatsuya Kitani, originally worked as a Vocaloid producer under the name mao sasagawa and is known for exceptional composition skills.
Among Sasagawa’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “Therefore, It’s Scorched.” While distinctive, it has a very narrow vocal range and gentle melodic contour, making it perfect for aiming for a 100-point score.
What We Got ~A Miracle Is You~King&Prince
King & Prince’s “What We Got ~Kiseki wa Kimi to~” with Mickey Mouse dancing is so cute, isn’t it? It seems this song is part of a project for Mickey’s 100th anniversary! Listening to the whole track, the actual harmonies only appear midway through the B-melody, while the chorus is in unison.
The chorus repeats the same phrase and is very easy to follow, so I think it’s great to add your own harmonies! Singing in unison is fun, but adding harmonies here and there changes the vibe in a fun way.
For the record, I would sing an upper harmony on the parts of the chorus that are in Japanese! Try different approaches and find what feels right for you!
POISON ~This world where you can’t even say what you want to say~Takashi Sorimachi
It’s the theme song for the drama GTO.
Since GTO became a social phenomenon, many people are probably familiar with this song.
The melody doesn’t span a wide range and the tempo is slow, so for those who can sing in this key, it’s a great song for aiming at a high score.
Give it a try!
The town where you liveShota Shimizu
It’s a love ballad by Shota Shimizu, who possesses exceptional musical sensibility and overwhelming vocal ability.
Many of his songs are challenging due to their high pitch and distinctive rhythms, but this one sits relatively low and repeats similar scales, so once you learn it, it’s easy to sing.
