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)
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!

AliensKirinji
Formed by the brothers Takaki Horigome and Yasuyuki Horigome, Kirinji is a very cool band, with skillfully off-kilter melodies and impeccably chosen words.
Their vocals are languid and gentle, yet you can feel a quiet passion beneath.
I think their songs are easy to sing at karaoke, too!
Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS
The Blue Hearts’ memorable debut single, released in May 1987.
Speaking of ’87, Japan was right in the middle of a massive band boom.
Among them, The Blue Hearts were at the heart of the genre known as beat punk, which was at its peak at the time.
I imagine many people once covered this song at school festivals and the like.
For better or worse, it’s a straightforward, no-frills track—so if you want to score high at karaoke, don’t overthink it; just power through with energy! It might also be fun to belt out the chorus together with your friends.
Let’s become a familyFukuyama Masaharu
This is Masaharu Fukuyama’s 27th single, released on August 31, 2011.
It was used as the CM song for the wedding magazine Zexy and as the image song for the TV Tokyo variety show “Kazoku ni Narou (Yo).” The acoustic arrangement makes it a very pleasant ballad.
The vocal melody itself is very simple and easy to hum, so I think it’s the kind of song where you can aim for a high score at karaoke.
However, precisely because the melody is simple, the performance can easily become flat if you’re not careful.
Please pay close attention to the resonance of vowels and consonants in the lyrics and to your vocal expression.
Because it’s a simple song, expressive power becomes especially important.
favorite foodsupittsu
This is Spitz’s 45th single, released on November 3, 2021.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film What Did You Eat Yesterday? The Movie, which premiered on the same day as the single.
It’s crafted as a lively, mid-tempo rock song that feels quintessentially Spitz.
The vocal melody is also very Spitz-like—catchy and easy to get into—so I think it’s a perfect choice if you want to aim for a high karaoke score.
If the rhythm—or rather, the way you feel the beat—becomes flat, the song can end up sounding very dull.
So when you sing it, don’t forget to ride the groove by feeling the accents on beats two and four as you keep the beat.
As time goes bysawada kenji
It’s Kenji Sawada’s 14th single, released in August 1975.
With its clear, easy-to-follow melody and a relaxed, singable tempo, it’s a quintessential Showa-era, 1970s-style hit.
As long as you choose the right key, almost anyone should be able to aim for a high score with relative ease.
However, to sing it with expressive power approaching Julie’s performance in the original, you’ll need solid vocal skills.
So rather than just going for a high score, aim to deliver a rendition that truly captivates your listeners!
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!
