For men (1–10)
Wind and TownNEW!Mrs. GREEN APPLE
This is the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Kaze, Kaoru,” released for streaming on April 13, 2026.
Written and composed by Motoki Omori, the song is a celebration of life that emphasizes a comforting ‘ear-pleasing’ quality and gentleness to accompany listeners each morning, characterized by a fresh and warm sound.
Among Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s songs, there are no belted parts; it’s sung with a generally gentle feel, so it seems easy to sing smoothly in falsetto.
Since pitch tends to be more stable in falsetto than in chest voice, you should be able to score high with “Kaze to Machi.”
Voice of the SeaKiritani Kenta
This is a single sung by actor Kenta Kiritani, released in July 2015 under the name “Urashima Taro,” familiar from the au commercials.
If you’re going to sing this song at karaoke, it shouldn’t be too difficult, since Kiritani himself sings it in a very simple, unaffected way and the melody is gently crafted.
Even the high notes that can sound a bit strained when you listen to him aren’t actually an unreasonable range when you try singing them yourself, so I think many men will be able to manage it in the original key.
If you sing it plainly and sincerely, scoring a high mark might not be just a dream!
Until the World Ends…WANDS
This song is said to be one of the easiest 90s rock tracks to score high on! Since it has relatively few words, anyone can aim for a high score by singing the whole thing carefully.
The best place to rack up points in “Till the World Ends…” is the chorus.
The key is a bit high, so once you lock in, your pitch won’t waver easily, and because the melody is mostly sustained notes, you can keep boosting your score by paying close attention to the pitch bar.
Also, rock songs tend to make you belt, but if you’re not used to it your voice might crack… Take a good breath, place a hand on your chest, and let it resonate! When you sing comfortably, it feels exhilarating and you can enjoy it even more.
For men (11–20)
SHUJINKOKujira Yoru no Machi
Under the concept of creating fantasy, the rock band Kujira Yoru no Machi has been churning out catchy songs and gaining popularity among young people.
Many of you may already know them, as their recent momentum has been tremendous.
From their catalog, the track I especially recommend is SHUJINKO.
It’s a sharp, rock-driven number, but the vocal range is relatively narrow and there aren’t complex melodic jumps.
As long as you pay attention to dynamics and pitch, it’s a song anyone can aim for a high score with.
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.
kaiju (giant monster)Sakanakushon
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!
Dan Dan Kokoro HikaretekuFIELD OF VIEW
DAN DAN Kokoro Hikareteku, famous as the theme of Dragon Ball GT, is an exceptionally easy-to-sing, high-scoring song among 90s anime-song × J-pop rock tracks! The overall vocal range is G#2 to A4, and the song starts right off with the chorus, so the first note is crucial since it sits a bit on the higher side.
As a band-style track, it should be easy to lock into the rhythm.
From the very beginning, focus on projecting your voice and aim it far forward.
It’s very important to prepare your voice as if taking a running start.
Since the melody generally climbs higher with each phrase, it’s best to sing with a growing sense of momentum.
