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!

to youMONGOL800
A song by the Japanese punk rock band MONGOL800, released in September 2001.
Despite never having been released as a single, it’s been covered by many artists and even used in a commercial (Lion’s TOP), making it a bit of an unusual case.
It’s very characteristic of a punk rock band—a track you can sing on pure momentum.
Both the melody and rhythm are very simple, so it’s an ideal choice if you’re aiming for a high karaoke score.
When you sing it, just be careful not to fall behind the groove! This is a song where momentum is everything.
Go for it!!Ulfuls
Released in December 1995, this is Ulfuls’ ninth single.
It was apparently made following Tetsuya Komuro’s advice to “try something more disco,” and the arrangement incorporates plenty of disco-style rhythms, especially in the chorus.
That said, at its core it’s still a rock band’s song by Ulfuls, with a very straightforward vocal melody—perfect material if you want to score high at karaoke.
Since the vocalist, Tortois Matsumoto, isn’t a technical singer, you don’t need to overthink it; just ride the buoyant groove and sing it straight, and you’ll likely land a great score!
The sun is burning.THE YELLOW MONKEY
When aiming for a high score with karaoke scoring features, the two main factors are pitch and rhythm.
Going a bit deeper, the specific key elements for scoring well on pitch are “shakuri” (approach/slide-in notes) and vibrato.
THE YELLOW MONKEY’s “Taiyou ga Moeteiru” is ideal for training both shakuri and vibrato, and by singing it repeatedly, you’ll naturally pick them up.
Give this song a try and boost your pitch score!
phantom thiefback number
This is a digital-only single by back number, released on May 24, 2021.
It was selected as the theme song for NTV’s Wednesday drama “Koi wa Deep ni.” While many recent songs feature complex rhythms and melodies, this track has a very easy-to-groove tempo, and the vocal melody is smooth and, I believe, quite easy to sing.
However, in the high notes of the chorus, the vocalist skillfully switches between chest voice and falsetto, so if you’re not confident in smoothly transitioning your vocal registers, you may want to pay a bit of attention to key settings and such.
Conversely, it’s also ideal as a practice piece for register transitions, so with that in mind, I encourage you to give it a try!
Love will winKAN
KAN’s eighth single in total, released in September 1990.
This song is like a “model example” for aiming for a high score in karaoke! KAN’s own singing—whether for better or worse—has a certain “an earnest amateur giving it their all” feel rather than sounding overly professional, and perhaps because of that, the melody, rhythm, and karaoke chord progression are all very straightforward and simple.
So as long as you find a key that suits you, I think you can aim for a high score without much difficulty.

O flowers now in full bloom,Kobukuro
Kobukuro’s 24th single, released in February 2014.
It features a gentle, distinctly Kobukuro-like melody and soft vocals, making it a song that just about anyone can sing without strain.
The vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range either, so in that sense it’s an ideal choice for aiming for a high score at karaoke.
The relaxed, side-to-side swaying rhythm feels pleasant, so when you sing it, pay attention to your sense of rhythm and timing, and be careful not to turn it into a straight, vertical-driving beat.
sparkleFujii Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s digital-only single, released on May 3, 2021.
It was also used in a Honda VEZEL commercial, and perhaps thanks to that, its total streaming plays have surpassed 100 million.
Now, if you’re going to sing this song at karaoke, the vocal melody itself probably doesn’t have particularly difficult parts.
However, there are some distinctive spots in the phrasing and rhythm of the lyrics, so be careful there.
It would be perfect if you can sing the chorus using a mixed voice like the artist himself, but if you’re not confident, you might want to lower the key a bit.
