For men (21–30)
True LoveFujii Fumiya
This was Fumiya Fujii’s second single as a solo artist, released in November 1993.
Incidentally, his first “single” was “Mother’s Touch” from his time with The Checkers, so this is considered his first single as a true solo artist.
When listing recommended picks for aiming at high karaoke scores, the choices tend to skew heavily toward ’90s hits, and this song is right at the top.
It’s crafted so that anyone can aim for a relatively high score even if you sing it casually—almost like humming or murmuring.
If you force your vocals, you’ll end up spoiling the song’s appeal, so try to relax and sing with as little tension as possible.
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.
For men (31–40)
protagonistSUPER BEAVER
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!
I want to be kinder.Saitō Kazuyoshi
Many of you may know Kazuyoshi Saito’s “Yasashiku Naritai,” which was also featured in the TV drama Kaseifu no Mita.
This song is especially easy in terms of pitch, so it’s a great choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
That said, if you focus only on keeping the pitch, you’ll lose the real fun of karaoke—so try to channel Kazuyoshi Saito and sing it cool.
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!
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?
Romantic Flightkome kome CLUB
Released in April 1990, this is Kome Kome Club’s 10th single.
It’s another classic of the ’90s.
A hallmark of ’90s hits was a strong focus on karaoke singability and commercial tie-ins, featuring memorable, straightforward choruses.
Even though this song came out in the early ’90s, you can already see those traits clearly: it’s easy to remember and understand melodically, making it well-suited for scoring high in karaoke.
Karl Smoky Ishii’s vocal ability is quite strong in the original, so the slightly wide vocal range required can be a hurdle.
To score high, it’s fine to switch to falsetto for the high notes; the key is to find a key setting that keeps the low notes from becoming pitchy.
