For men (21–30)
SakurazakaFukuyama Masaharu
This is the 15th single by actor and singer Masaharu Fukuyama, released in April 2000.
It became a million-selling hit, with total sales exceeding 2 million copies.
There may be some debate over whether Fukuyama’s main profession is acting or singing, but the mid-to-high range middle voice (mixed voice) he showcases in this song is quite impressive.
Even when singing it at karaoke, using mixed voice well can be difficult unless you’ve taken some vocal training.
Still, if you memorize the melody thoroughly and aim to sing as gently and softly as possible, even in the high notes, you’ll do well.
KobukuroIma, sakihokoru hanatachi yo
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!
For men (31–40)
cold; curt; blunt; unfriendlyRADWIMPS
This RADWIMPS song was released for streaming in November 2018.
It was not issued as a single on CD, and its CD release appears on the album ANTI ANTI GENERATION.
The music video, produced in a drama style, is also highly memorable.
The song isn’t necessarily difficult to sing, but the way the lyrics sit on the melody is somewhat distinctive, and compared to the hit songs from the ’90s and earlier that we’ve featured frequently in this theme, it doesn’t have a particularly clear, instantly graspable chorus melody.
So if you’re aiming for a high score when singing this song, you’ll want to study in advance and learn it thoroughly before performing.
It might be interesting to listen with an ear for how its characteristics differ from ’90s hits.
Above all, try to sing gently while maintaining clarity.
Like the beginningRen
This is a solo song by REN from JO1, whose official music video was released on July 23, 2025.
Overall, it has a calm vibe, with many long high notes mainly in falsetto.
If you focus on matching the pitch bar and sing carefully, you should be able to score high! For songs with continuous falsetto, breath control and core stability are crucial—shift your mindset from “projecting your voice” to “letting the breath flow.” First, engage your lower abdomen to keep your body steady and lift your facial muscles.
Imagining the sound traveling straight upward from the top of your head will improve the falsetto tone and make pitching easier.
There are some low notes in the latter half, but keep the same singing approach.
If you suddenly change where you place your voice, it can turn into a throaty sound and make it harder to stay on pitch, so be careful.
It’s a relatively short, three-minute song, so definitely give it some practice!
illustrated reference bookSEKAI NO OWARI
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!
plazmaYonezu Kenshi
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.
Full-Power BoySukima Suichi
This is Sukima Switch’s fifth single, released in April 2005.
It was also used in a commercial song for DoCoMo Kansai.
That slightly nasal, pleasantly laid-back vocal style—never sounding like they’re “trying too hard,” even in the high, soaring parts of the chorus—is a trademark of Sukima Switch.
Now, you might wonder whether this is really a song where you can aim for a high karaoke score.
It can be a bit challenging to memorize and faithfully trace Sukima Switch’s distinctive, slightly sophisticated melodies.
However, once you clear that hurdle, it’s not a song that demands extraordinary vocal prowess, so aiming for a high score isn’t out of the question.
If you can score high with this slightly tricky, stylish melody, you might become the object of everyone’s envy! Be sure to memorize the melody accurately and give it a try! Oh, but remember—don’t let it sound like you’re “trying too hard,” okay?
