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!

Hot LimitT.M.Revolution
This is a karaoke song recommended for men by T.M.Revolution, featuring powerful vocals over a grand, fast-paced pop track.
The key is to let yourself go with the upbeat groove of the song and enjoy singing it.
Ms. Hanako on a high pedestalback number
This is back number’s 8th single, released in June 2013.
It’s also included on their 4th album, “Love Story.” It’s a very simple, straightforward, up-tempo pop rock song, and I think most people will find it easy to sing—and it’s a good candidate for scoring high at karaoke.
In the original recording, the vocals seem to have a slightly processed, almost mechanical sound, but that’s nothing you need to worry about when you sing it.
Just enjoy yourself, keep the groove, and sing it with energy!
Blow Your CoverNumber_i
Number_i is a boy group that has garnered strong support from many women.
While they usually focus on hip-hop, their track “Blow Your Cover” is different.
This piece is quite mellow, crafted with a smooth, gentle atmosphere throughout.
Although it has an R&B vibe that might make it seem challenging, it doesn’t require advanced vocal techniques, so even those who aren’t confident in their singing can aim for a high score.
Be sure to check it out.
Beyond the Night SkySMAP
This is SMAP’s 27th single, released on January 14, 1998.
Since it was SMAP’s first million-selling hit, many of you have probably heard it.
With a very relaxed-tempo backing track and an extremely catchy, easy-to-hum melody, it’s a must-sing number when you want to aim for a high karaoke score.
I actually think that rather than focusing too much on the score, singing it lightly and just enjoying yourself might end up leading to a higher score.
SaudadePorunogurafiti
It’s Porno Graffitti’s fourth single, released on September 13, 2000.
Not only was it used as the theme song for the TBS mini-drama “Wonderful,” it was also tied in with several commercials and TV programs, so many of you have probably heard it.
The Latin-flavored rhythm and melody are particularly striking.
Just by listening, you can feel a sense of “Latin passion,” making it a true classic.
Although vocalist Akihito Okano sings with a powerful, soaring voice that might make some people hesitate to try it, there’s no need to worry! The vocal melody is very straightforward, with no particularly tricky parts at first listen.
The tempo and rhythm are naturally easy to ride, making it a song that’s easy to sing and a good candidate for a high score.
Just be careful not to let the rhythm of your singing run ahead.
FlowerPorunogurafiti
This is a song written as the theme for the film “A Banana? At This Time of Night?,” which is based on a true story.
Many PornoGraffitti songs are in a high key, but this one has a relaxed tempo, so it’s recommended for men who can hit high notes.
The rhythm is simple as well, so if you aim carefully and sing without missing, you can score high.
Johnny’s LullabyArisu
A hit song by Alice, the trio of Shinji Tanimura, Takao Horiuchi, and Toru Yazawa, released in June 1978.
As a hit by Alice, who were at the forefront of the genre known as “New Music,” an evolution of Showa-era folk songs, it’s a familiar tune for people around their 50s as of 2019.
Some men might even remember pretending a broom was a guitar during school cleaning time and singing this song for fun (lol).
The melody itself is very simple, so it can be fun to split into the Chinpei part and the Bēyan part and sing in harmony!
