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!
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.
to youMONGOL800
A song by the Japanese punk rock band MONGOL800, released in September 2001.
Despite never having been released as a single, it’s been covered by many artists and even used in a commercial (Lion’s TOP), making it a bit of an unusual case.
It’s very characteristic of a punk rock band—a track you can sing on pure momentum.
Both the melody and rhythm are very simple, so it’s an ideal choice if you’re aiming for a high karaoke score.
When you sing it, just be careful not to fall behind the groove! This is a song where momentum is everything.
Go for it!!Urufuruzu
Released in December 1995, this is Ulfuls’ ninth single.
It was apparently made following Tetsuya Komuro’s advice to “try something more disco,” and the arrangement incorporates plenty of disco-style rhythms, especially in the chorus.
That said, at its core it’s still a rock band’s song by Ulfuls, with a very straightforward vocal melody—perfect material if you want to score high at karaoke.
Since the vocalist, Tortois Matsumoto, isn’t a technical singer, you don’t need to overthink it; just ride the buoyant groove and sing it straight, and you’ll likely land a great score!
The sun is burning.THE YELLOW MONKEY
When aiming for a high score with karaoke scoring features, the two main factors are pitch and rhythm.
Going a bit deeper, the specific key elements for scoring well on pitch are “shakuri” (approach/slide-in notes) and vibrato.
THE YELLOW MONKEY’s “Taiyou ga Moeteiru” is ideal for training both shakuri and vibrato, and by singing it repeatedly, you’ll naturally pick them up.
Give this song a try and boost your pitch score!
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!
