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 get top marks (91–100)
Curtain callYuuri
The opening theme song for Cour 2 of Season 7 of the TV anime My Hero Academia.
It’s a challenge-style rock ballad where a sense of speed and stable high notes are the key to a high score! The overall vocal range is E3–A4, a range you can belt comfortably in chest voice.
The tricky part of Curtain Call is the C-melody section where you need to sing lightly.
While most of the song is sung powerfully in chest voice, Yuuri’s technique of suddenly softening the voice is used here.
How you handle this spot is important.
Since the melody line is sung phrase by phrase, don’t let it flow the same way throughout—sing each phrase clearly and deliberately.
That way, the falsetto parts will also come across more distinctly.
If you place each phrase one by one, you can sing more carefully.
Keep that in mind and give it a try!
POISON ~This world where you can’t even say what you want to say~Sorimachi Takashi
It’s the theme song for the drama GTO.
Since GTO became a social phenomenon, many people are probably familiar with this song.
The melody doesn’t span a wide range and the tempo is slow, so for those who can sing in this key, it’s a great song for aiming at a high score.
Give it a try!
It always begins with rain.CHAGE and ASKA
The gently moving ballad “Hajimari wa Itsumo Ame” by CHAGE and ASKA.
On streaming services you can only hear ASKA’s solo version, but on YouTube there are videos of the two of them singing together, so definitely check them out! The overall vocal range of the song is a relatively relaxed C#3–G#4, so it should be singable without too much strain.
Since the chorus goes a bit higher, lifting your facial muscles and resonating in your head can make it easier to hit the pitches.
Also, consciously articulating the vowels will add emphasis and make it feel great to sing!
The town where you liveShimizu Shota
It’s a love ballad by Shota Shimizu, who possesses exceptional musical sensibility and overwhelming vocal ability.
Many of his songs are challenging due to their high pitch and distinctive rhythms, but this one sits relatively low and repeats similar scales, so once you learn it, it’s easy to sing.
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!
