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!

Aim for a high score! Karaoke songs for men to get top marks (91–100)
absolute zeronatori
This track, pre-released on April 5, 2024, was written as the opening theme for the TV anime WIND BREAKER and has been generating a lot of buzz! In karaoke, it’s noted as a high-difficulty song that’s a worthy challenge for male singers.
The overall vocal range spans A#2 to G#4, which feels quite broad in the lower register.
It should be within a comfortable range for most men, but the key is how smoothly you can transition into falsetto.
Since the tempo is on the faster side, make sure to keep a solid sense of rhythm as you sing.
The melody line doesn’t feel like it moves up and down much overall, but the section after the first verse might be a bit intricate.
Stay pitch-conscious and keep your facial muscles lifted so you can consistently project from the same placement!
sparklingmosao.
A one-sided love song featuring lyrics from a woman’s perspective and Mosa-o’s gentle singing voice.
For karaoke, the range is relatively narrow and easy to sing, making it a song where you can focus on expressiveness.
The overall vocal range is E3 to A#4, which is comfortable to handle, and there isn’t much falsetto.
It’s recommended to sing clearly with a chest-voice focus.
There are occasional unique rhythms, so it’s important to thoroughly go over the melody line.
Also, the key modulates in the final chorus and the pitch goes up, so rather than forcing chest voice, skillfully switching to falsetto is a good tip for hitting the notes accurately!

When it comes to Spitz, many people probably think of “Cherry.” In fact, it’s a classic that became a million-selling hit despite having no tie-in.
In karaoke, it’s a popular choice for both men and women because it’s relatively easy to score high.
The key is to sing through to the end without straining.
There are many sustained notes, but try not to use much vibrato—focus on matching the pitch bar.
The chorus suddenly jumps to higher notes, so take solid breaths and aim to resonate in your head voice to sing more easily.
The most important moments are the melody transitions; keep your facial muscles and eyebrows lifted and sing to switch smoothly.
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!
IdeaHoshino Gen
A song released digitally on August 20, 2018, written specifically as the theme for the NHK morning drama series “Half, Blue.” In karaoke, it’s popular as a track that doesn’t require an overly wide vocal range but shows differences through sense of rhythm and expressiveness.
The tempo is 120, and since it has a band sound, it’s easy to lock into the groove; however, when you get excited while singing, the overall tempo tends to rush.
If you keep a bit of cool composure as you sing, you should be able to stay balanced and keep steady time.
Try to sing with a straight, projected tone without relying too much on falsetto; imagining your voice shooting forward will help you produce sound smoothly without hesitation.
In any case, focus on projecting firmly so your voice stays steady and doesn’t waver!
GiftET-KING
Its catchy melody is truly memorable, and the straightforward emotions expressed in the lyrics resonated with many fans.
Since the verses are mostly rap, it might be a bit tough to perform solo.
How about aiming for a high score by doing a mic relay with a few people?
Stand by UTōhōshinki
This is a love ballad by TVXQ that expresses a man’s straightforward feelings as he continues to think about the lover he parted with.
Its universally relatable worldview is one of its charms.
Overall, the song sits in a higher register, but the pitch is stable, making it relatively easy to aim for a high score.
