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!

After-school[Alexandros]
![After-school[Alexandros]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Isx_i--7DJg/sddefault.jpg)
[Alexandros] is a band that has produced numerous classic songs.
Even those not well-versed in Japanese rock have probably heard their music at least once.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “After School.” While it has the essence of J-rock, it strongly incorporates elements of overseas alternative rock throughout, featuring a refreshing and composed vocal line.
It’s a notably understated piece: the vocals have minimal ups and downs and a relatively narrow range, making it an ideal song for aiming at a perfect score.
catDISH//
It was released as a coupling track to DISH//’s 10th single, “We Did It.” Later (in April 2020), an acoustic version was released digitally as “Neko – THE FIRST TAKE ver.” It’s a very gentle song that conveys a warm, heartwarming atmosphere.
The vocal melody itself is very simple and easy to remember, and the vocal range used isn’t very wide, so I think it’s quite easy for anyone to sing.
Since the song is built on a slightly bouncing beat, be careful not to let the vocal rhythm become flat.
If you try singing so that the sound resonates against the roof of your mouth, you can reproduce a voice rich in higher overtones like the original performer’s—give it a try.
FUNKY MUSIC!!Dannie May
Dannie May is a three-member vocal unit popular among young people.
While many recent vocal units tend to favor a K-pop-leaning, stylish sound, they primarily focus on orthodox J-pop.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is FUNKY MUSIC!!.
There’s a falsetto part in the middle, but otherwise the range stays in the mid register and the vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much, making it a song where a perfect score is well within reach.
A bouquet for boring daysLUCKY TAPES
Kai Takahashi’s solo project, LUCKY TAPES.
In the early days, their sound often mixed rock and J-pop, but recently the R&B side has grown stronger, and they’ve been releasing many stylish tracks.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Bouquet for Boring Days.” While it’s categorized as J-pop, it carries an R&B-like groove in places.
That said, the rhythm isn’t difficult, and it doesn’t feature the advanced vocal techniques common in R&B, such as melisma.
The vocal range is also very narrow, making it a song that should be easy for teenage male singers to perform.
Is that okay?RADWIMPS
Since the song is very catchy and memorable, I don’t think it’s too hard to grasp the melody even when singing it at karaoke.
But if you’re aiming for a high score, the key point—above all—is how well you can handle the rap-like delivery in the A-melody section.
The high-pitched, rap-like part at the start of the second chorus’s A-melody might be a bit tricky too.
Normally, I’d say not to sweat the small details in a section like this and just sing it with your own groove.
However, when you’re going for a top karaoke score, staying faithful to the original is also crucial.
So learn it thoroughly and try to rap it coolly!
Get WildTM NETWORK
Released in 1987, Get Wild has long since transcended its role as the ending theme for the anime City Hunter and can truly be called a national favorite, renowned across generations.
It’s a famous song that needs little introduction, and it’s also very popular because it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
If you’re aiming for a high score and don’t yet have this song in your repertoire, you should definitely pick it for your next challenge.
The melody is largely built around the mid range with a relatively narrow vocal range, making it easy to sing regardless of voice type.
The only part that can be a bit tricky if you’re not used to it is the fast English section in the B-melody, so be sure to practice it carefully so you don’t fall behind the rhythm!
On a boring nightgarari
Singer-songwriter Garari has been steadily gaining momentum since his debut.
He’s known for drastically changing his musical style from song to song and has produced numerous classics.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend is “On a Boring Night.” Its musicality is somewhat close to Sakanaction, featuring a smooth, low-dynamic vocal line.
There’s a slight rise in voltage during the rap part in the middle, but otherwise the vocals remain very uniform—making it perfect if you’re aiming for a perfect score.
