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!

This is one of Motohiro Hata’s signature songs, showcasing his clear, translucent voice and overwhelming vocal ability.
It was also used as the theme song for a hugely popular anime, and its straightforward lyrics and musical worldview captured many hearts.

I can’t say it.Gō Hiromi
This is the 66th single by Japanese singer Hiromi Go, released on May 1, 1994.
It’s a beautifully mellow ballad and a true classic.
At the time, it was released as the second installment of Go’s trilogy of ballads.
The melody is very simple and easy to sing, making it a great choice when you want to aim for a high karaoke score with a ballad.
However, if you mumble your way through it, the song can end up sounding quite dull.
When you sing the high parts, such as the chorus, try placing the sound against your upper palate so that the higher overtones resonate clearly.
Just doing that will add a sparkling quality to your voice and make it sound really appealing!

YUZU often create songs that feel very familiar and somewhat nostalgic, and this song is no exception—it’s very easy to remember.
If you try to sing it in the original key, the high notes might be a bit challenging for some people, so please pay close attention to your key settings.

By the time of the Christmas carolsInagaki Junichi
This is Junichi Inagaki’s 27th single, released in October 1992.

In fact, as of December 2023, it remains Inagaki’s biggest hit.
Of course, the primary reason for its massive success is the song’s inherent appeal, but it’s also very karaoke-friendly, which has helped many people sing it over the years.
