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!

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!

Christmas songback number
This is back number’s 14th single, released in November 2015.
It was chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “5→9: The Monk Who Fell in Love with Me” and won the Best Drama Song at the 87th The Television Drama Academy Awards, so many of you have probably heard it.
Sung by vocalist Iyori Shimizu, whose high notes are wonderfully beautiful, it may intimidate some people into hesitating to try it at karaoke after just one listen—but there’s no need to worry! It’s true that, for a male-vocal track, the original key is set quite high, but the vocal melody itself is relatively simple.
If you adjust the key to suit your range, many people should be able to aim for a high score.
There are sections with some pitch leaps, such as in the latter half of the chorus, but if you prepare in advance—practicing transitions between chest voice and falsetto and paying attention to vowel and consonant articulation in the lyrics—you can take on the challenge with confidence.
protagonistSUPER BEAVER
This is the song chosen as the 2025 theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV,” and it’s the kind of track that flips your motivation switch on from the morning! SUPER BEAVER’s songs don’t really have the image of being “high” in pitch, and the vocal range of this song, “Shujinkou,” is mainly mid-range at D#3–G#4, so I think many men can sing it mostly in chest voice! Since there’s no intro, be careful not to miss the karaoke guide cue before the vocals come in.
Also, because it’s a band song, if you stay aware of the drums and move your body to the beat as you sing, it’s easier to keep rhythm, it locks in with the melody, and your voice will come out more easily! The opening is already the chorus, and for the choruses throughout the song, make sure to project the very first consonant without hesitation! For the long notes, keep your eye on the pitch bar all the way to the end!
yuzusutoorii
I looked it up because I thought, “This sounds really familiar,” and it turned out to be the CM song for Toyota’s Ractis! It’s a single released in 2008.
Since it’s a Yuzu song, the range is higher than the average male vocal range, so if you’re good at high notes, it’s easy to sing and a good candidate to aim for a perfect 100.
The chorus has many sustained endings, so make sure to take a breath for each phrase and pay close attention to the pitch bar.
I always told a student who loved Yuzu and sang them all the time, “It’s high, so keep your facial muscles lifted so your pitch doesn’t drop!” It can be tough until you get used to it, but once your pitch dips even for a moment, it’s hard to correct.
Of course, it’s fine to switch to falsetto—just make sure you can place the pitch solidly around the brow area.
The most important factor in scoring is pitch, so focus on maintaining it!
RADWIMPSai ni dekiru koto wa mada aru kai
RADWIMPS’s “Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?” is a song released on July 19, 2019 as the theme song for the film Weathering With You.
Many of you are probably familiar with it.
The tempo is relaxed, and the melody line is easy to follow.
If you sing each phrase carefully, you won’t fall out of rhythm, making it easy to match the pitch bar as well.
The overall vocal range is C#3–F#4; it goes a bit high, but since it’s a gentle song, use your falsetto to sing with a soft feel.
Try to project your voice as if it’s resonating in your head, coming from the top of your head for both low and high notes.
When you focus on head resonance, your facial muscles naturally lift, and keeping them that way makes it easier to stay on pitch.
Around the chorus, adding an accent to the initial note helps your voice come out clearly and lets you sing comfortably.
