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!

Rain MelodyKinKi Kids
It’s KinKi Kids’ 8th single, released on October 6, 1999.
The song features a memorable, slightly Latin-flavored melody and arrangement.
If you’re aiming for a high score when singing this at karaoke, the key will likely be whether you can faithfully recreate the subtly side-to-side, Latin-style groove.
Once you nail that, the vocal melody itself is very simple and easy to sing, so definitely give it a try!
StargazeSixTONES
SixTONES’ “Stargaze” was released in July 2025.
Since it’s a group song, it features a wide range of vocal registers.
There are, of course, low notes, and it sounds cool as a solo, but dividing parts among several people works great too! With lyrics, composition, and production by Yojiro Noda of RADWIMPS, the rhythm has a unique feel, so it might be tricky to sing on sight.
Be sure to gather your fellow SixTONES fans and have fun singing it together!
Lost itemKitanitatsuya
Compared to his high notes, Tatsuya Kitani gives a stronger impression with his lower range, doesn’t he? He has a signature song called “Ao no Sumika,” but in fact, the new song “Nakushimono” has a narrower range and might be easier for low-voice male singers to sing in chest voice.
There are a few higher parts in the chorus, but falsetto works just fine there.
Just note that the last chorus modulates and goes up by a whole step.
If you can get through that section when you sing, you’ll be golden—so add some momentum and let your voice out!
What We Got ~A Miracle Is You~King&Prince
King & Prince’s “What We Got ~Kiseki wa Kimi to~” with Mickey Mouse dancing is so cute, isn’t it? It seems this song is part of a project for Mickey’s 100th anniversary! Listening to the whole track, the actual harmonies only appear midway through the B-melody, while the chorus is in unison.
The chorus repeats the same phrase and is very easy to follow, so I think it’s great to add your own harmonies! Singing in unison is fun, but adding harmonies here and there changes the vibe in a fun way.
For the record, I would sing an upper harmony on the parts of the chorus that are in Japanese! Try different approaches and find what feels right for you!
A Midsummer NightHatsukoi no Arashi
This is a song created by the remaining members and staff after Tatsuro Nishiyama, the vocalist and guitarist, suddenly passed away just before their debut.
The lyrics are wonderful, the vocal performance that brings them to life, and the beauty of the strings are beyond words.
Try singing it with all your heart at karaoke.
The more feeling you put into it, the higher your score will be!

Last sceneSuda Masaki
This is actor-singer Masaki Suda’s sixth single overall, released on November 24, 2021.
It was selected as the theme song for TBS’s Sunday drama Japan Sinks: People of Hope.
It’s a slow-to-mid-tempo ballad.
Not just in this song, but in general, Suda’s singing isn’t overly mannered; if anything, his style is straightforward, which I think makes it easier to aim for high karaoke scores.
For now, try singing by faithfully tracing the melody and lyrics.
Just be careful not to rush the rhythm—if you lean too far forward, it can ruin the song.
I think the key is whether you can grasp the song’s broad groove and sing along with it.
common wordsROCKING TIME
Although “Arifureta Kotoba” is originally by ROCKING TIME, the performance in this video is sung by Hideaki Konno, who was a member of the band.
If, amid busy days that rush by, you’ve found it hard to be gentle, why not try singing this song to convey those feelings?
