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!

fuse (detonating fuse)Tegoshi Yūya
Released as a digital single on July 9, 2025, “Dōkasen” (Fuse).
Chita Henry, who worked on “Vibration” from the first best album “Yuya Tegoshi SINGLES BEST” released on May 14, 2025, also wrote and composed “Dōkasen.” In this song, the A and B sections are relatively calm and sit comfortably in chest voice, but the range shoots up going into the chorus, so it’s recommended for those who are good at high notes! Most of the high notes are in falsetto—and a powerful falsetto at that—so you’ll want to project them clearly.
Before singing, take a deep breath, and aim your voice diagonally upward from your head with the image of a sharp “SWA-POW!” (lol).
Alternatively, imagining the sound resonating strongly at the back of your head might also make it easier to hit.
Try both and see which works better for you!
Mr.ChildrenTabidachi no Uta
Released as a single on October 31, 2007, it was used as the theme song for the film “Koizora” and in an NTT East Japan commercial.
The hook, which is also the title of the song, feels very familiar, doesn’t it? “Tabidachi no Uta” spans the C3–A4 range, and you might think “it’s not that high,” but since vocalist Sakurai sings it entirely in chest voice, you’ll probably want to belt it out in chest voice too.
At the end of the chorus, where the range jumps up, if you push with brute force, you’ll completely wreck your throat.
As the pitch gets higher, focus on projecting your voice farther into the distance.
Raise your eyebrows firmly and try sending your voice from just in front of your eyebrows at all times! Also, breath and explosiveness are key—take in a lot of air and shoot it out like a beam with momentum, aiming far away! It might be tiring until you get the feel for it, but once you do, your voice will come out comfortably!
plazmaYonezu Kenshi
As the theme song for ‘Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-‘, it’s a track where the synthetic machine-like sounds really stand out! Kenshi Yonezu handled everything himself—lyrics, composition, arrangement, production, and even the artwork—making it one of his most dedicated works of 2025.
The vocal range is C3 to C5, which I think is a comfortable height for men to sing mainly in chest voice without strain.
There are falsetto parts here and there, but they’re used in those signature “this is the moment!” spots typical of Yonezu, so make sure to align precisely with the pitch bar.
For the fast sections, avoid mumbling and pronounce the vowels clearly.
Also be careful not to over-enunciate.
Approach it like a tongue twister: articulate the initial consonants cleanly and focus on locking in with the rhythm.
Fujifabricakakiiro no kinmokusei
This is the third single by Fujifabric, released in 2004.
The song’s overall vocal range is A#3 to G#4, so it should be very comfortable for those who struggle with high notes.
With a tempo of 153, it’s easy to ride the rhythm and stay aware of the pitch bar.
The A and B sections focus on lower notes, so if you overuse your throat, you’ll end up singing the higher notes in the chorus with a throaty sound, making it harder to stay on pitch.
When singing, aim for a singing voice rather than a speaking voice, and make sure the sound comes correctly from the vocal folds.
Lightly touch the dip between your collarbones and try producing sound from there.
If the spot you’re touching vibrates slightly, that’s a sign you’re using your voice correctly.
Sing with the image of projecting the sound forward from that point.
For low notes, place the sound right in front of you; for high notes, aim farther away and use a quick, explosive release.
In all cases, produce the sound from your vocal folds.
EXILEmichi
It’s a classic EXILE ballad! I’ve actually sung EXILE songs live myself, and as a woman I was shocked at how low they are.
Even raising the key by two semitones still felt low, so I think EXILE’s range is very much tailored to male voices.
Michi, with its relaxed tempo, sits around B2–A4, and the chest-voice section in the bridge feels a bit high.
That said, for karaoke scoring, singing in falsetto will almost always match pitch more accurately, so choose whichever approach you prefer! Key points: sing carefully overall to keep your pitch aligned, take breaths at each phrase, and be mindful of pitch tendencies at the ends of phrases.
If you focus on these three, a perfect 100 is definitely within reach! As you keep practicing, it’s also a song where expressive delivery tends to add points, so give it a try!
Like the beginningRen
This is a solo song by REN from JO1, whose official music video was released on July 23, 2025.
Overall, it has a calm vibe, with many long high notes mainly in falsetto.
If you focus on matching the pitch bar and sing carefully, you should be able to score high! For songs with continuous falsetto, breath control and core stability are crucial—shift your mindset from “projecting your voice” to “letting the breath flow.” First, engage your lower abdomen to keep your body steady and lift your facial muscles.
Imagining the sound traveling straight upward from the top of your head will improve the falsetto tone and make pitching easier.
There are some low notes in the latter half, but keep the same singing approach.
If you suddenly change where you place your voice, it can turn into a throaty sound and make it harder to stay on pitch, so be careful.
It’s a relatively short, three-minute song, so definitely give it some practice!

illustrated reference bookSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI often gives the impression of having many high-pitched songs, but the July 2025 release “Zukan” doesn’t feature belted high notes and has little range fluctuation, so it seems very scoring-friendly—you might even aim for a perfect 100.
The melody is also easy to remember since it’s structured with just verse A, verse B, and the chorus, without a new section like a bridge.
Overall, the vocal range, rhythm, and melody are clearly organized, so you don’t need any special techniques and can sing it at a relaxed pace.
To aim for 100 points, the first priority is matching pitch.
Try singing lightly with the image of lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows and sending the voice forward from just above the eyebrows.
Vocalist Fukase also tends to keep his eyebrows raised, so use that as a reference!
