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!

Aim for a high score! Karaoke songs for men to achieve top high scores (11–20)
Romantic Flightkome kome CLUB
Released in April 1990, this is Kome Kome Club’s 10th single.
It’s another classic of the ’90s.
A hallmark of ’90s hits was a strong focus on karaoke singability and commercial tie-ins, featuring memorable, straightforward choruses.
Even though this song came out in the early ’90s, you can already see those traits clearly: it’s easy to remember and understand melodically, making it well-suited for scoring high in karaoke.
Karl Smoky Ishii’s vocal ability is quite strong in the original, so the slightly wide vocal range required can be a hurdle.
To score high, it’s fine to switch to falsetto for the high notes; the key is to find a key setting that keeps the low notes from becoming pitchy.
True LoveFujii Fumiya
This was Fumiya Fujii’s second single as a solo artist, released in November 1993.
Incidentally, his first “single” was “Mother’s Touch” from his time with The Checkers, so this is considered his first single as a true solo artist.
When listing recommended picks for aiming at high karaoke scores, the choices tend to skew heavily toward ’90s hits, and this song is right at the top.
It’s crafted so that anyone can aim for a relatively high score even if you sing it casually—almost like humming or murmuring.
If you force your vocals, you’ll end up spoiling the song’s appeal, so try to relax and sing with as little tension as possible.
Foolish (Prod. Taka Perry)Aile The Shota
Singer-songwriter Aile The Shota, whose refined musicality caught the eye of SKY-HI, has been gaining popularity.
Because he’s an artist rooted in R&B, many people may feel his songs are difficult, but that’s not the case.
“Foolish (Prod.
Taka Perry)” incorporates R&B flavors while keeping the melodic rises and falls relatively gentle, so it doesn’t have the same level of difficulty as classic, hardcore R&B.
There is a falsetto part in the pre-chorus, so just pay attention there when you sing.
SHUJINKOKujira Yoru no Machi
Under the concept of creating fantasy, the rock band Kujira Yoru no Machi has been churning out catchy songs and gaining popularity among young people.
Many of you may already know them, as their recent momentum has been tremendous.
From their catalog, the track I especially recommend is SHUJINKO.
It’s a sharp, rock-driven number, but the vocal range is relatively narrow and there aren’t complex melodic jumps.
As long as you pay attention to dynamics and pitch, it’s a song anyone can aim for a high score with.
I want to be kinder.Saitō Kazuyoshi
Many of you may know Kazuyoshi Saito’s “Yasashiku Naritai,” which was also featured in the TV drama Kaseifu no Mita.
This song is especially easy in terms of pitch, so it’s a great choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
That said, if you focus only on keeping the pitch, you’ll lose the real fun of karaoke—so try to channel Kazuyoshi Saito and sing it cool.
At all times.Makihara Noriyuki
Even though this famous song is wonderful, it’s also a universal tune that anyone can sing easily.
Even if you’re not good at karaoke, with a few practice runs you’ll get the hang of it and be able to aim for a high score relatively easily.
Enjoy singing it!

SunYorushika
People often think that songs that are easy for men to sing must have male vocals, but that’s not necessarily true.
If you set the key appropriately, you can score high even with songs sung by female vocalists.
One track I recommend is Taiyō.
It’s a new song by Yorushika, characterized by a generally low vocal range throughout.
The vocalist, suis, is a female artist with a fairly low voice to begin with, so men with higher voices should be able to sing it in the original key without any issues.
The pitch movements are gentle as well, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
