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!

Aim for a high score! Karaoke songs for men to achieve top scores (181–190)
rose flowerkururi
It’s Quruli’s seventh single overall, released in January 2001.
It was used as an insert song in the TBS drama Orange Days.
With its simple arrangement and murmured vocals, it’s a gentle, mid-tempo track that leaves a strong impression.
Because of the song’s nature, the vocal melody doesn’t use many notes and the range isn’t very wide, making it very easy to sing at karaoke and a good candidate for a high score.
To make it sound just right, it’s important to keep the dynamics moderately restrained, so it might be good to keep that in mind when you sing it.
Rock ‘n’ Roll Packagemamasutajio
This upbeat, groovy track is by the Kyoto band Mamasta-Studios.
All three members write songs, and all three can take the lead vocals! By the way, this song is handled by Daisuke Koizumi, the guitarist and vocalist.
If you sing it while hopping around, won’t you inevitably get a high score?!
Feathers of SteelRADWIMPS
A digital-only single by the Japanese rock band RADWIMPS, released in April 2021.
It’s crafted as a ballad with a very beautiful, straightforward melody.
In that sense, to really sing this song well, you need gentle expression and dynamic contrast—tenderness in the verses and power in the chorus—so some people might feel it’s a bit challenging to pick for karaoke.
That said, if your goal is simply to get a high score, the melody is very easy to hum and approachable, so if you sing it carefully, closely tracing the original, I think it’s relatively easy to aim for a good score.
Personally, though, rather than worrying about points, I’d love for each singer to value their own expression when performing this song.
Banzai ~ So glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu
This was Ulfuls’ 10th single, released in February 1996.
It was a single cut from the album Banzai and was later used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama Goddess of Victory.
With over 500,000 copies sold, it’s a massive hit that many people have likely heard.
Not just for this song, but with Ulfuls in general, debating pure vocal prowess can often feel a bit pointless.
Analyzing the piece as a composition, though, it’s made with a very simple yet memorable melody and lyrics, which makes it an easy song to sing in that sense.
However, if you’re aiming for a high karaoke score, it may be more effective to sing a bit more carefully—accurately tracing the melody—rather than trying to imitate Tortoise Matsumoto’s energetic vocal style.
It feels like you’ll score higher if you keep the raspy, shouting style to a minimum.
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.
