Aim for a high score! Karaoke songs for men to achieve top scores
If you’re simply aiming for a high score at karaoke, the key points for song selection will naturally be to choose songs with “easy-to-sing melodies,” “easy-to-understand lyrics,” and “clear, straightforward rhythms.”
That being the case, your picks will tend to come from the ’90s and earlier—so-called Showa-era and early Heisei kayōkyoku, new music, and J-pop.
Many recent songs have complex melodies and rhythms, and plenty of people think “This is hard!” after just one listen.
In this article, aimed at men who want to score high at karaoke, I’ve also proactively selected relatively singable tracks even from among more recent songs.
Compared to older hits, these are a bit more challenging to sing, but each song’s write-up includes tips and points to watch for to help you boost your score, so please use this as a guide and give them a try!
It feels great when you nail a high score!

Aim for a high score! Karaoke songs for men to achieve top scores (61–70)
NO MORE CRYD-51
A motivational song that became a huge hit as the theme for the second season of the drama Gokusen.
Many people are sure to feel nostalgic.
The C-melody in particular involves frequent switches between chest voice and falsetto, so it’s recommended for those who are good at falsetto.
The repeated phrases in the chorus also make it crucial to see how accurately you can stay on pitch.
Also, the long G4 note right before the chorus jumps up suddenly, so be careful not to strain your throat by pushing your voice all at once.
If you sing as if you’re running up toward that G4, you should be able to nail the timing.
Keep your facial muscles lifted throughout the C-melody when you sing.
One moreFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
A signature cheer song by FUNKY MONKEY BABYS that encourages people pursuing their dreams and challenges.
The overall vocal range is D3–A4, and aside from the high note at the end of the chorus, it’s generally within an easy-to-sing range.
It’s best to hit the long high G4 squarely on the karaoke pitch bar.
Aim your voice toward that G4 and imagine letting your emotions burst at that moment! It’s important to take in plenty of air with diaphragmatic breathing, so be mindful to breathe without tensing your body.
It’s love.V6
A poppy, refreshing love song that represents V6 in 1997—and I just learned this myself—the composer is Koji Tamaki.
The overall vocal range is wide and high, from D#3 to D#5, and both the intensity and the range build steadily toward the latter half.
Because the tempo feels good, you’ll need to project your voice while staying in the groove.
As you approach the high notes before the chorus, keep a tight, small body rhythm to line up your timing, use your body to add momentum, and accent the phrase.
Be careful not to tense up on the “n” sound in the song title; focus on carrying it with your breath and try singing with that in mind!
Everything becomes my strength!kuzu
One of Kuzu’s signature songs and also a popular anthem.
To score high in karaoke, focus on powerful projection and a solid sense of rhythm, and make sure to let your emotions burst in the chorus.
The pre-chorus has a fast-paced rhythm, so while the lyrics matter, locking into the beat is the top priority.
Put a clear accent on the first beat and sing smoothly to fall into the groove.
Also, since the first sound of the chorus is “ki,” be careful not to pull your mouth too wide horizontally.
Create space inside your mouth and think of lightly humming as you let the sound out—you’ll be able to sing without straining!
scabChi-wata Hidenori
A motivational song known as the first opening theme of the anime Zatch Bell! (Konjiki no Gash Bell!!).
It features a rock sound with a relatively fast tempo—be sure to lock into the beat with your body to keep up! The overall vocal range is narrow, from F3 to F#4, mostly in the mid range.
Once you find the groove, your timing will fall into place, so stepping your feet forward and back can make it easier to sing.
A key point for this comfortable range is to avoid overusing your throat.
Aim your voice outward as if projecting into the distance; your vocal cords will resonate and you’ll get a satisfying tone.
Someday Merry ChristmasB’z
A signature Christmas ballad by B’z that beautifully portrays a bittersweet love story.
The overall vocal range is E3–A4, which is relatively calm for B’z and makes it easier to sing.
To score high at karaoke, the key points are dynamic contrast from the quiet verse into the chorus and stable control of the high notes.
When the chorus hits, the full band sound kicks in and the tempo tends to feel like it’s rushing, so it’s important to sing carefully.
There’s a brief pitch lift in the final chorus that’s crucial—don’t overthink it; just lightly match the pitch bar! Using your hand to gently flick upward as you sing may help you hit it cleanly.
dandelionYūsuke
It’s a ballad that expresses a love that’s almost too straightforward.
With its relaxed tempo and minimal pitch changes, it’s easy to sing, making it a song where even those who aren’t confident in their singing can aim for a high score.
The key to the chorus is to project boldly and sing with full voice.
