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!

asking for the moonKANA-BOON
“Naimononedari,” a track from KANA-BOON’s first mini-album “Boku ga CD wo Dashitara,” released in 2013.
The key might be a bit high for the average male singer, but the simple melody makes it easy to sing and has a great groove, so it’s highly recommended.
Sing your heart out and rack up a high score!

protagonistSUPER BEAVER
This is the song chosen as the 2025 theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV,” and it’s the kind of track that flips your motivation switch on from the morning! SUPER BEAVER’s songs don’t really have the image of being “high” in pitch, and the vocal range of this song, “Shujinkou,” is mainly mid-range at D#3–G#4, so I think many men can sing it mostly in chest voice! Since there’s no intro, be careful not to miss the karaoke guide cue before the vocals come in.
Also, because it’s a band song, if you stay aware of the drums and move your body to the beat as you sing, it’s easier to keep rhythm, it locks in with the melody, and your voice will come out more easily! The opening is already the chorus, and for the choruses throughout the song, make sure to project the very first consonant without hesitation! For the long notes, keep your eye on the pitch bar all the way to the end!
budKobukuro
It’s also famous as a graduation song, so I think few people don’t know it.
The gentle ballad has a slow tempo, making it easier to stay on pitch.
It might be a bit low for women, so it suits men better.
Let’s wrap the atmosphere of the room in a calm, moving mood.
LemonKenshi Yonezu
The first half keeps a similar rhythm, so it should be very easy to groove to.
On the other hand, the chorus has a slightly unique vocal phrasing, so be sure to practice it well! The key is a bit high, so if it’s hard to hit, you might consider lowering it.
LazuliMONGOL800×WANIMA
The masterpiece “Lazuli” by MONGOL800 and WANIMA.
Because WANIMA’s songs include punk elements, they often have a wide vocal range and incorporate shouts.
However, since this track is a collaboration with MONGOL800, the range is set on the narrower side.
Not only is the range narrow, but there are no advanced vocal techniques like shouts or ad-libs, so as long as you can match the pitch, it’s an easy song where anyone can aim for a high score.
You look like an idiot.Saucy Dog
Saucy Dog is a three-piece rock band that has gained popularity for their delicate musicality.
They’ve been active since 2013, and their popularity has only grown in the 2020s.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Baka Mitai.” When it comes to Saucy Dog, their striking high-tone vocals come to mind, right? Those high notes really shine in this track as well, but the overall vocal range isn’t actually that low.
If you can control your pitch properly, it’s a song where you can definitely aim for a high score.
Riding in a Corolla IIKenji Ozawa
Kenji Ozawa, a singer-songwriter who was active in the 1990s.
He’s famous for “Konya wa Boogie Back,” but his own songs are characterized by a languid, ennui-tinged style.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Karolla II ni Notte.
The song has a narrow vocal range and a very relaxed tempo, so anyone can easily aim for a high score.
There are quite a few sustained notes, so just be mindful of your breathing.
Since it doesn’t demand much volume, even those who aren’t confident in their lung capacity can sing it with ease.
