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!

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.
Song of Greensoshina
In addition to his success as part of the duo Shimofuri Myojo, Soshina showcases his talents in many fields—and he actually has a producer side as a Vocaloid creator as well.
“#Midori no Uta” is a song he originally released in 2020 as a Vocaloid producer, and in 2025 he rearranged it with a band sound and covered it himself.
While preserving the drive of the original, it’s been reborn into a track powered by raw, gritty guitar and urgent, hard-hitting drums.
It’s the kind of song you can power through on momentum when singing at karaoke, so if you want to hype up the crowd, definitely give it a try!

Riding the sound so hard it hurtsSugaya Ayume
A newcomer artist whose breathy vocals and catchy sound are rapidly gaining momentum, Yua Sugaya.
He already has a few hit tunes under his belt, but the one I especially recommend is “Ride the Sound Till It Hurts.” It’s a bright, upbeat track, yet surprisingly the vocal line’s pitch movement is gentle, and the long tones aren’t all that long.
If you track the pitch accurately, it’s a song where you can easily aim for a perfect score.
pure whiteFuji Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s new song “Masshiro.” When you think of Fujii Kaze, his music is striking for its foundation in Black music genres like R&B, soul, and neo-soul, but this work is characterized by a dream pop-like finish.
The vocal range is on the narrower side for his songs, which alone makes it quite easy to sing, but the most distinctive feature is the vocal line.
In this track, the vocal line moves very gently in pitch, and the groove isn’t heavily emphasized either.
Among his songs, it’s one of the easiest to sing, both rhythmically and in terms of the vocal line.
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!
