[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 Score Easily on Karaoke (21–30)

Detonator Yuya Tegoshi

Released as a digital single on July 9, 2025, “Dōkasen” (Fuse).

Chita Henry, who worked on “Vibration” from the first best album “Yuya Tegoshi SINGLES BEST” released on May 14, 2025, also wrote and composed “Dōkasen.” In this song, the A and B sections are relatively calm and sit comfortably in chest voice, but the range shoots up going into the chorus, so it’s recommended for those who are good at high notes! Most of the high notes are in falsetto—and a powerful falsetto at that—so you’ll want to project them clearly.

Before singing, take a deep breath, and aim your voice diagonally upward from your head with the image of a sharp “SWA-POW!” (lol).

Alternatively, imagining the sound resonating strongly at the back of your head might also make it easier to hit.

Try both and see which works better for you!

Tabidachi no Uta by Mr.Children

Released as a single on October 31, 2007, it was used as the theme song for the film “Koizora” and in an NTT East Japan commercial.

The hook, which is also the title of the song, feels very familiar, doesn’t it? “Tabidachi no Uta” spans the C3–A4 range, and you might think “it’s not that high,” but since vocalist Sakurai sings it entirely in chest voice, you’ll probably want to belt it out in chest voice too.

At the end of the chorus, where the range jumps up, if you push with brute force, you’ll completely wreck your throat.

As the pitch gets higher, focus on projecting your voice farther into the distance.

Raise your eyebrows firmly and try sending your voice from just in front of your eyebrows at all times! Also, breath and explosiveness are key—take in a lot of air and shoot it out like a beam with momentum, aiming far away! It might be tiring until you get the feel for it, but once you do, your voice will come out comfortably!

Songs by Keisuke Kuwata and Southern All Stars are popular across a wide range of age groups, so I have a lot of students in their 20s who choose to sing them! This time’s “Mayonaka no Dandy” was apparently first released as a solo single in 1993.

The vocal range is generally around B3 on average, and the melody line is simple, making it easy to remember and sing.

Precisely because the melody is simple, small pitch discrepancies can stand out when matching the pitch bar, but if you sing carefully, your score will definitely go up! When moving from the A and B sections into the chorus, the pitch rises a bit, so try to keep your facial muscles lifted and sing lightly throughout so you don’t tense up.

Once you’re comfortable, you could try adding a slight shout like Kuwata does, but if your score isn’t improving, it might strain your throat, so better not do it (lol).

plazmaKenshi Yonezu

As the theme song for ‘Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-‘, it’s a track where the synthetic machine-like sounds really stand out! Kenshi Yonezu handled everything himself—lyrics, composition, arrangement, production, and even the artwork—making it one of his most dedicated works of 2025.

The vocal range is C3 to C5, which I think is a comfortable height for men to sing mainly in chest voice without strain.

There are falsetto parts here and there, but they’re used in those signature “this is the moment!” spots typical of Yonezu, so make sure to align precisely with the pitch bar.

For the fast sections, avoid mumbling and pronounce the vowels clearly.

Also be careful not to over-enunciate.

Approach it like a tongue twister: articulate the initial consonants cleanly and focus on locking in with the rhythm.

Fujifabricred-yellow fragrant olive (Osmanthus fragrans)

This is the third single by Fujifabric, released in 2004.

The song’s overall vocal range is A#3 to G#4, so it should be very comfortable for those who struggle with high notes.

With a tempo of 153, it’s easy to ride the rhythm and stay aware of the pitch bar.

The A and B sections focus on lower notes, so if you overuse your throat, you’ll end up singing the higher notes in the chorus with a throaty sound, making it harder to stay on pitch.

When singing, aim for a singing voice rather than a speaking voice, and make sure the sound comes correctly from the vocal folds.

Lightly touch the dip between your collarbones and try producing sound from there.

If the spot you’re touching vibrates slightly, that’s a sign you’re using your voice correctly.

Sing with the image of projecting the sound forward from that point.

For low notes, place the sound right in front of you; for high notes, aim farther away and use a quick, explosive release.

In all cases, produce the sound from your vocal folds.

EXILEroad; way; path; street; route; Tao (in philosophy)

It’s a classic EXILE ballad! I’ve actually sung EXILE songs live myself, and as a woman I was shocked at how low they are.

Even raising the key by two semitones still felt low, so I think EXILE’s range is very much tailored to male voices.

Michi, with its relaxed tempo, sits around B2–A4, and the chest-voice section in the bridge feels a bit high.

That said, for karaoke scoring, singing in falsetto will almost always match pitch more accurately, so choose whichever approach you prefer! Key points: sing carefully overall to keep your pitch aligned, take breaths at each phrase, and be mindful of pitch tendencies at the ends of phrases.

If you focus on these three, a perfect 100 is definitely within reach! As you keep practicing, it’s also a song where expressive delivery tends to add points, so give it a try!

SEKAI NO OWARI often gives the impression of having many high-pitched songs, but the July 2025 release “Zukan” doesn’t feature belted high notes and has little range fluctuation, so it seems very scoring-friendly—you might even aim for a perfect 100.

The melody is also easy to remember since it’s structured with just verse A, verse B, and the chorus, without a new section like a bridge.

Overall, the vocal range, rhythm, and melody are clearly organized, so you don’t need any special techniques and can sing it at a relaxed pace.

To aim for 100 points, the first priority is matching pitch.

Try singing lightly with the image of lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows and sending the voice forward from just above the eyebrows.

Vocalist Fukase also tends to keep his eyebrows raised, so use that as a reference!
