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!

Premonitory RaidMakishimamu Za Horumon
This track explodes with a raw sound packed with social critique and the band’s convictions.
It questions the supremacy of technical virtuosity and challenges a sincere approach to music, delivering a powerful message through Maximum the Hormone’s uniquely distinctive musical style.
Daisuke-han’s roaring shouts and Nao’s clear vocals create a perfect contrast.
Released in July 2013 as the title track of the album “Yoshu Fukushu,” it also drew attention for its music video directed by Hitoshi Ohne, known for the film “Moteki.” Highly recommended for those who want to reflect on the essence and meaning of music, or simply surrender to an energetic sound.
Your eyes are 10,000 voltsHoriuchi Takao
Released in 1978 as a solo single by Takao Horiuchi, who was then a member of the popular New Music group Alice, the song sold over 900,000 copies.
Even listening again now, Horiuchi’s masculine vocals shine on a track with a very simple, catchy chorus melody, making it easy to see why it achieved such strong sales.
It’s also a song without any particularly difficult sections for karaoke, so try singing it while being careful not to rush the rhythm.
You’ll likely get great results!
Love is…Kawamura Ryuuichi
This is Ryuichi Kawamura’s fourth single, released in October 1997.
Musically, it’s a very simple ballad that’s easy to hum and enjoy, but if you’re aiming for a perfect 100 in karaoke, it probably comes down to how well you can reproduce Kawamura’s somewhat distinctive singing style.
Study things like how he applies vibrato and how he connects notes within phrases, then give it a try.
Personally, I have some reservations about turning it into an impersonation of the artist just to chase a score, but since the song features many broad, relaxed phrases, I think it’s relatively easy to recreate in karaoke.

Baby, Please Burn Out9mm Parabellum Bullet
9mm Parabellum Bullet is a rock band that continues to enjoy strong, enduring popularity thanks to their unwavering musical identity.
Their appeal lies in the contrast between intense instrumentals and slightly softer vocals.
They established their place in the early 2010s and still draw significant attention from Japanese rock enthusiasts today.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is their new track, “Baby, Please Burn Out.” While the sound is heavy, the vocal line itself is quite restrained.
There’s a scream part in the middle, but since it’s a chorus section that typically isn’t counted in karaoke scoring criteria, it shouldn’t be an issue.
With its narrow vocal range and simple rhythm, it’s a great pick for anyone aiming for a high score with a J-rock song in karaoke.
spiralLONGMAN
The fourth digital-only single by the Japanese rock band LONGMAN, released in July 2023.
It’s used as the opening theme for the anime Mushoku Tensei II: Jobless Reincarnation—I Will Seriously Try If I Go to Another World.
It’s a very refreshing pop-rock song ranging from mid- to up-tempo, and I feel the tempo makes it very easy to sing.
It’s a male-female twin-vocal track, and both parts are crafted to be very singable and approachable, so by all means try it as a male-female duo and aim for a high score!
AyayaMONGOL800×WANIMA
A collaboration song by MONGOL800 and WANIMA, released on June 22, 2022.
It’s basically a very upbeat, high-energy rock track, but what’s interesting is that in the middle the tempo and rhythm suddenly change and it takes on a bit of a festival vibe.
The vocal melody stays refreshingly straightforward throughout the whole song.
It’s an easy pick for karaoke and I think anyone can aim for a high score.
It’s such a fun song that, honestly, rather than worrying about your score, the best way to enjoy it is to belt it out at the top of your lungs.
gradationSUPER BEAVER
A grand rock tune that captures the subtleties of human relationships.
Released in April 2023 as the theme song for the film Tokyo Revengers 2: Bloody Halloween -Fate-.
Its straightforward melody and powerful vocals leave a strong impression, and it’s relatively easy to sing at karaoke.
However, be mindful of the key change in the chorus.
The sweeping string arrangement is another highlight.
By expressing emotional highs and lows as you sing, you can draw out even more of the song’s appeal.
Understanding the lyrics and singing with heart will create a performance that truly resonates with listeners.
