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 achieve top marks (111–120)
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.
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!
Seeds of joyMrs. GREEN APPLE
This song was first unveiled as a secret track on the venue-limited mini-album “Introduction” on July 5, 2014, and later officially included on July 8, 2025, in the 10th anniversary best album “10,” making it a once-lost track! The melody line is gentle and sung with clear enunciation, so even beginners should find it easy to match the pitch bar.
For the verses (A-melody to B-melody), speak carefully and make sure your voice is firmly carried by the mic.
Also, the chorus kicks in around the 3-minute mark, and the overall energy ramps up significantly.
There should be ample opportunities to breathe between phrases, so take a solid breath for each phrase and use that air to project your voice as you exhale.
If you tense up, you’ll end up chest-breathing instead of using your diaphragm, which can make it uncomfortable—so stay calm and breathe steadily!
O flowers now in full bloom,Kobukuro
Kobukuro’s 24th single, released in February 2014.
It features a gentle, distinctly Kobukuro-like melody and soft vocals, making it a song that just about anyone can sing without strain.
The vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range either, so in that sense it’s an ideal choice for aiming for a high score at karaoke.
The relaxed, side-to-side swaying rhythm feels pleasant, so when you sing it, pay attention to your sense of rhythm and timing, and be careful not to turn it into a straight, vertical-driving beat.
sparkleFuji Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s digital-only single, released on May 3, 2021.
It was also used in a Honda VEZEL commercial, and perhaps thanks to that, its total streaming plays have surpassed 100 million.
Now, if you’re going to sing this song at karaoke, the vocal melody itself probably doesn’t have particularly difficult parts.
However, there are some distinctive spots in the phrasing and rhythm of the lyrics, so be careful there.
It would be perfect if you can sing the chorus using a mixed voice like the artist himself, but if you’re not confident, you might want to lower the key a bit.
Easy★RiderOkuda Tamio
It’s one of the signature songs that represent Tamio Okuda.
Its comfortable key makes it easy to sing, and its strength lies in the fact that people of all ages know it.
The mid-tempo feel and a chorus with a relatively narrow melodic range make it especially easy to sing and a good target for high scores.
While paying attention to pitch, focusing on vocal power will make it sound even more pleasing.
