[Karaoke] Songs That Make It Easy to Score High | From Classics to the Newest Hits
The skills required for Japanese music from a while back and those for today’s J-pop have changed significantly.
Since a relaxed singing style is now the mainstream, techniques like delicate pitch control and a clear, airy falsetto are becoming essential.
This time, we’ve picked songs that match modern trends while still letting anyone aim for high karaoke scores without strain.
You’ll also find easy-to-understand explanations from a former and current vocal coach, so be sure to check it out to the end!
For men (1–10)
From nostalgic oldies to recent hit songs are featured!
Songs that are easy to score highly on generally have gentle rises and falls in pitch. Another common trait is a narrow vocal range. A frequent misunderstanding is that a song is difficult just because it’s sung by a high-voiced singer. In reality, there are countless songs out there with a high base key but a narrow overall range. This time, we’ve selected relaxed songs with narrow pitch and range! Keep your pitch awareness sharp, and when holding long notes, make sure to keep the note aligned with the pitch bar to the very end—aim for that perfect 100! Related articles:Aim for a high score! Karaoke songs for men to achieve top scores
Foolish (Prod. Taka Perry)Aile The Shota
Singer-songwriter Aile The Shota, whose refined musicality caught the eye of SKY-HI, has been gaining popularity.
Because he’s an artist rooted in R&B, many people may feel his songs are difficult, but that’s not the case.
“Foolish (Prod.
Taka Perry)” incorporates R&B flavors while keeping the melodic rises and falls relatively gentle, so it doesn’t have the same level of difficulty as classic, hardcore R&B.
There is a falsetto part in the pre-chorus, so just pay attention there when you sing.
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
The song “Bunny Girl,” which is frequently used on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts, is a signature track by the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI.
It features a light, cohesive rhythm and melody throughout.
While its catchy vibe tends to grab the spotlight, the truth is… this piece boasts one of the narrowest vocal ranges in all of J-pop.
On top of that, the pitch movement is very gentle, so as long as you stay in tune, anyone can aim for a high score.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
Sakura, flutterSazan Ōrusutāzu
Southern All Stars, a band that has energized Japan’s music scene for decades.
No matter how young you are, you’ve probably heard one of their songs at least once.
Their new track is Sakura, Hirari.
Crafted as a pop ballad steeped in the wistful atmosphere of the ’80s, the song features a gently undulating melody line throughout, making it easy to sing.
A falsetto comes in near the end of the chorus, so take care with that part when you sing.
AzaleaYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu is a singer-songwriter who commands tremendous support from the general public with a wide-ranging musicality—from catchy ballads to downbeat dance tunes.
Recently, his sound has become more refined, and there’s been an increase in songs that aren’t particularly catchy for singers to perform.
However, Azalea is different.
Aside from a single falsetto that appears near the end, this piece is sung within a narrow range and doesn’t feature complex melodic rises and falls.
As long as you can nail that final falsetto, it’s definitely a song you can aim for a high score with.
ACTORTomonari Sora
Sora Tomonari is a singer-songwriter with overwhelming support from teens.
His downbeat vocals and musical style are popular, and his songs frequently appear not only on social media like TikTok and Instagram, but also in TV and other media.
Among his tracks, the one I particularly recommend for aiming at a high score is “ACTOR.” While its dynamic progression is striking, the vocal line itself is simple, without complex pitch jumps.
There aren’t many long sustained notes either, so I imagine many people have found it surprisingly easy to rack up a high score.
Straight Up feat. JESSEDragon Ash
The piece “Straight Up feat.
JESSE,” in which Dragon Ash collaborates with JESSE, known for RIZE and The BONEZ, brought a lot of buzz at the time of its release thanks to the joint performance of two artists who represent Japan’s rock scene.
Surprisingly, the song is quite easy to sing.
While its Western-music flavor might make it seem difficult, the vocal line covers a narrow range with no drastic pitch shifts.
As long as you can handle the English, it’s a track anyone can aim to score highly on.
Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro
Himawari no Yakusoku, popular as a Doraemon movie theme song, gives the impression that a wide range of people sing it.
The overall vocal range is D#3 to A#4, so men should be able to handle it without strain if they sing calmly.
Since it’s a ballad, the melody line is simple and easy to remember, and the more carefully you sing, the more accurately you can hit the notes—making it a good choice for scoring systems.
There are many long tones, so if you focus on the pitch bar and sustain to the end, your score will go up.
For the chorus’s highest note, A#4, lift your facial muscles and aim to produce it easily without forcing or belting—think of delivering it lightly and gently.
