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 high scores! Karaoke songs for high scores aimed at men (101–110)
Love will winKAN
KAN’s eighth single in total, released in September 1990.
This song is like a “model example” for aiming for a high score in karaoke! KAN’s own singing—whether for better or worse—has a certain “an earnest amateur giving it their all” feel rather than sounding overly professional, and perhaps because of that, the melody, rhythm, and karaoke chord progression are all very straightforward and simple.
So as long as you find a key that suits you, I think you can aim for a high score without much difficulty.
Driver’s HighL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
Among L’Arc~en~Ciel’s many songs, “Driver’s High” is one of the most popular.
It also served as the theme song for the anime GTO, which helped it gain worldwide acclaim.
The song’s vocal range is quite wide, from mid1 E to high B.
While high B is often sung in falsetto, in this song it’s delivered with a mixed voice, and it appears frequently—six times in total.
It’s a perfect piece for practicing mixed voice, which requires strong projection, so definitely give it a try.
TemptationGLAY
GLAY’s 13th single, released on April 29, 1998.
This is another hit from the golden era of J-POP and J-ROCK in the ’90s! Even if you’re not a fan of visual kei, many of you have probably heard it.
The memorable chorus melody is very easy to remember, and the tempo makes it quite easy to sing.
It’s not in the vocal part, but the use of irregular meter in the interlude is also an interesting touch.
Be careful not to get thrown off by that section.
The heavy backing track is also cool, so sing it with style and aim for a high score!
MelissaPorunogurafiti
Released in September 2003 as Porno Graffitti’s 12th single.
It was used as the opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist, marking the band’s second anime tie-in and their first since “Hitorinoyo” about three years and eight months earlier.
The song is built around an easy-to-remember, generally up-tempo melody with a touch of melancholy, so it’s a track that many people can aim for high scores with at karaoke.
However, when transitioning from the pre-chorus to the chorus, there’s a section with a slightly irregular time feel, so be sure to practice that part well before singing!
SaraiKayama Yūzō & Tanimura Shinji
Some of you reading this article may be a bit older.
For you, I recommend Sarai.
It’s a song well known even among younger generations thanks to its association with 24-Hour TV.
The real charm of this piece lies in its deep, mature vocal line.
Although the arrangement feels grand, the vocal range is very narrow—mid1 A to mid2 F—so men with lower voices should be able to sing it smoothly while making the most of their low tones.
Be sure to check it out.

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!
monstermakaroni enpitsu
Bakemono by Macaroni Empitsu, known as the theme song for the film The Fire-Eating Bird, leans slightly toward the low end with a range of roughly mid1 D to hi C, and its overall range is fairly wide.
The key challenge of this song isn’t the range itself but the rapid shifts in pitch; the chorus features intense up-and-down movement.
Although it doesn’t rely heavily on mixed voice, sudden high tones appear right after low notes, making it an ideal piece for training mixed-voice production with a focus on pitch control.
