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!

Get WildTM NETWORK
Released in 1987, Get Wild has long since transcended its role as the ending theme for the anime City Hunter and can truly be called a national favorite, renowned across generations.
It’s a famous song that needs little introduction, and it’s also very popular because it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
If you’re aiming for a high score and don’t yet have this song in your repertoire, you should definitely pick it for your next challenge.
The melody is largely built around the mid range with a relatively narrow vocal range, making it easy to sing regardless of voice type.
The only part that can be a bit tricky if you’re not used to it is the fast English section in the B-melody, so be sure to practice it carefully so you don’t fall behind the rhythm!
Spot the differenceMasaki Suda
Masaki Suda’s first digital single, released in May 2019.
It was used as the theme song for the drama “Perfect World.” The song was written and composed by Kenshi Yonezu.
Among the tracks introduced in this main theme, this one might be a bit challenging if you’re aiming for a high karaoke score.
Many people may find that, despite the initial impression, the key actually feels quite high when you try singing it.
Also, the parts where you switch between chest voice and falsetto can raise the difficulty for scoring well.
The melody itself is straightforward and beautiful, so try for a high score while paying close attention to setting the right key.
Can I try saying “I love you”?Kohei Matsushita
Kohei Matsushita is a singer-songwriter who’s also active as an actor.
He once stepped away from his music career, but he resumed in 2021 and has been gaining popularity again.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is “Aishiteru tte Itte Mitemo Ii kana” (“I Wonder If I Can Say ‘I Love You’”).
It has a slightly R&B, ennui-laden vibe, but it doesn’t feature particularly difficult vocal runs, so if you have a decent level of vocal ability, it’s a song with which you can definitely aim for a high score.
Premonitory RaidMaximum the Hormone
This track explodes with a raw sound packed with social critique and the band’s convictions.
It questions the supremacy of technical virtuosity and challenges a sincere approach to music, delivering a powerful message through Maximum the Hormone’s uniquely distinctive musical style.
Daisuke-han’s roaring shouts and Nao’s clear vocals create a perfect contrast.
Released in July 2013 as the title track of the album “Yoshu Fukushu,” it also drew attention for its music video directed by Hitoshi Ohne, known for the film “Moteki.” Highly recommended for those who want to reflect on the essence and meaning of music, or simply surrender to an energetic sound.
And yet, a beloved lifeSukima Switch
This song, included on Sukima Switch’s eighth original album “Hot Milk,” was also selected as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s Drama 25 series “Tetsuota Michiko, 20,000 km.” Together with “OverDrive,” which is on the same album, it serves as one of the album’s two lead tracks.
It’s a very relaxed acoustic piece with an easy-to-hum vocal melody, making it an ideal choice for karaoke when you’re aiming for a high score.
If the singing rhythm rushes ahead, it can break the original’s warm, laid-back mood and likely affect the scoring quite a bit, so be careful not to sing ahead of the beat.
Also, toward the end of the chorus there’s a brief moment where the vocal switches to falsetto.
If you’re not confident about switching registers, consider lowering the key.
Soul Cobra Twist ~ Agony of the SoulKeisuke Kuwata
This is Keisuke Kuwata’s third digital single, released on August 30, 2021.
It was used as the UNIQLO “LifeWear” commercial song featuring Kuwata himself, and also served as the theme song for the Netflix exclusive film “Asakusa Kid.” Despite the slightly provocative(?) title, the song has a very relaxed vibe, and I think the tempo makes it quite easy to sing.
The vocal melody is filled with that signature Kuwata style, and since the range used isn’t very wide, I believe it’s a melody that many men will find easy to sing and remember.
As you all know, Kuwata has a very distinctive singing style—one of his charms—but if you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke, it might be better not to imitate his delivery too closely.

Sing, sky of JapanSouthern All Stars
This is Southern All Stars’ fifth digital-only single, released in August 2023.
Incidentally, the previous single, “Bongiri Koiuta,” and the next single, “Relay ~ Mori no Uta,” are said to form a trilogy with a shared theme.
This song alone conjures up the refreshing summer seaside air and a relaxed flow of time.
The vocal melody and the range used aren’t very wide, making it a gentle tune you can casually hum and enjoy, so it should be easy for anyone to sing.
Please relax your shoulders and enjoy it.
It might even be a song that helps those who usually feel reluctant to sing rediscover the joy of singing!
