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 Scores (121–130)
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!
STAY AWAYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
This is the 20th single by the Japanese rock band L’Arc~en~Ciel, released in July 2000.
It’s an upbeat, high-tempo rock number, so in that sense it’s very easy to sing, and it’s a song where you can aim for a high karaoke score.
When trying to score high with this song, the key point is how much you can reproduce the so-called “visual kei style” of singing.
If you sing it too straightforwardly by tracing the melody, there’s a risk the song will end up sounding dull; but if you overdo that distinctive, slightly languid V-kei delivery, you risk losing points for pitch accuracy.
That said, this track is sung relatively powerfully compared to some others, so study the nuances of the pitch shifts and other details beforehand, then give it a try.

The Zero Sense10-FEET
A digital-only single by the Japanese rock band 10-FEET, released in November 2022.
It was selected as the ending theme song for the film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK.
It’s a very cool rock track, and the vocal melody is extremely simple, making it feel like a perfect choice when you want to aim for a high score at karaoke.
Because the melody is so simple, I think the key to getting a high score is whether you can really feel the rhythm and the rests between melodic phrases.
Make sure to feel the beat solidly as you sing!
JingleYuuma
Yuma, who is active as the “good singer” of the YouTuber group Comdot, has a track called Jingle that my students often sang when their throats weren’t in great shape because it’s “easy to sing,” so I think it’s in a range that’s easy for others too.
Jingle’s vocal range is B2 to D#4, staying mostly in the low to mid range.
Of course, it builds from verse A to verse B to the chorus, but unlike other songs, the range doesn’t change much, so it might be easier to keep pitch.
It’s a perfect song for winter, so start practicing it now!
astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s third single, released on March 14, 2001.
It was used as an insert song for the Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama “Tentaikansoku” (Stargazing), and it’s said that the drama itself was created inspired by this track.
It’s an upbeat, brisk rock song with a vocal melody that doesn’t require a particularly wide range, and the tune is very easy to remember and hum along to.
It’s a great choice when you want to aim for a high score at karaoke.
Just be careful not to fall behind the tempo when you sing!
