[For men in their 30s] Songs that tend to score well on karaoke scoring systems

Men in their 30s are a generation that has been exposed to a wide range of genres—from orthodox rock to punk rock, and Black music such as R&B and hip-hop.

With so many potential songs to choose from, many people may find it difficult to decide what to sing.

So this time, we’ve picked out songs that make it easier for men in their 30s to aim for high scores at karaoke.

It also includes expert commentary from a former vocal instructor, so be sure to read to the end.

For men in their 30s: Songs that are easy to score high on in karaoke (11–20)

far; distant; by farSpitz

Needless to say, Spitz have countless masterpieces and are hugely popular at karaoke, but many people feel intimidated by melodies sung in Masamune Kusano’s clear, high-tone vocals.

The 2001 release Haruka introduced here is, of course, sung in a range that can be tough for those who can’t hit high notes, but the melodic rises and falls aren’t that drastic and the line stays relatively steady, so lowering the key makes it quite manageable even for lower voices.

If you find yourself struggling partway through the soaring chorus, I recommend learning to sing with proper diaphragmatic breathing to avoid straining your throat.

Fujii Kaze’s “Tabiji” is also a song one of my students practiced, and it’s a great recommendation for low-voiced male singers.

The overall range is B2–G#4, with a structure where the A section sits quite low and the range gradually rises toward the chorus.

If the chorus feels high, try imitating Fujii Kaze’s gentle singing style from the start—using a breathy tone can make it relatively easier to sing.

It’s a straightforward song for practice, so try singing it with the sense of gradually building momentum!

KobukuroO flowers now in full bloom,

Kobukuro – Oh flowers now in full bloom
Kobukuro — O flowers now in full bloom

This is a song that was used as the theme for NHK’s Sochi Olympics in 2014.

Many of you are probably familiar with it.

Although it’s a song by Kobukuro, “Ima, Saki Hokoru Hanatachi yo” has a very clear vocal melody, making it easy to sing even solo.

As for how to feel the rhythm, taking it slowly and relaxed works well, but doubling the tempo also makes it easier to sing and is recommended.

The overall vocal range of the song is C3 to F#4, so most men should be able to sing it comfortably in chest voice.

Also, since it’s a ballad, creating contrast between the lower parts of the verses (A and B sections) and the lift in the chorus will enhance expressiveness and help boost your score.

Try to keep your facial muscles lifted so your pitch doesn’t drop while you sing!

This song was first unveiled as a secret track on the venue-limited mini-album “Introduction” on July 5, 2014, and later officially included on July 8, 2025, in the 10th anniversary best album “10,” making it a once-lost track! The melody line is gentle and sung with clear enunciation, so even beginners should find it easy to match the pitch bar.

For the verses (A-melody to B-melody), speak carefully and make sure your voice is firmly carried by the mic.

Also, the chorus kicks in around the 3-minute mark, and the overall energy ramps up significantly.

There should be ample opportunities to breathe between phrases, so take a solid breath for each phrase and use that air to project your voice as you exhale.

If you tense up, you’ll end up chest-breathing instead of using your diaphragm, which can make it uncomfortable—so stay calm and breathe steadily!

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!

Regarding the opening theme of the TV anime “Chi.

: On the Movements of the Earth,” which has been airing since October 2024, I heard the song’s production actually ran into difficulties and the full-length digital release was postponed to the following year.

Because of that, the track has continued to generate buzz even after its release.

One of my students, who’s pretty good with high notes, also sang this song! The vocal range of “Kaijū” is F#3–B4, so I think it’s a relatively easy song for men to sing if they can use their falsetto effectively.

For songs like “Kaijū” that start abruptly, you want to clearly imagine the pitch before you produce the sound.

However, the initial “na” consonant is a nasalized sound and is actually quite tricky to deliver! Try projecting your voice more forward than you think you need to.

The rhythm is intricate, so if you keep a tight groove and sing with small, steady pulses, you should be able to sing freely and comfortably.

It’s a really cool track, so aim for a perfect score!

RADWIMPS’s “Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?” is a song released on July 19, 2019 as the theme song for the film Weathering With You.

Many of you are probably familiar with it.

The tempo is relaxed, and the melody line is easy to follow.

If you sing each phrase carefully, you won’t fall out of rhythm, making it easy to match the pitch bar as well.

The overall vocal range is C#3–F#4; it goes a bit high, but since it’s a gentle song, use your falsetto to sing with a soft feel.

Try to project your voice as if it’s resonating in your head, coming from the top of your head for both low and high notes.

When you focus on head resonance, your facial muscles naturally lift, and keeping them that way makes it easier to stay on pitch.

Around the chorus, adding an accent to the initial note helps your voice come out clearly and lets you sing comfortably.
