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 get top marks (21–30)
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!
Graduation DaySasuke
Sasuke’s third single, released in January 2006.
Since it’s a song from the 2000s, the melody and chord progression are a bit more intricate compared to the pop songs from the ’80s and ’90s that we often feature in this theme, so some people might hesitate to pick it for aiming at a high karaoke score.
Still, while there are a few “trap” sections in the song, it’s basically made up of simple, gentle, and beautiful melodies, so I’d love for you to learn it and give it a try.
The key is on the higher side for a male vocalist, so be mindful when setting the key, and try to keep a good balance so the singing and tone don’t become heavy.

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.
I should be able to fly (in the sky).supittsu
It’s a famous song by Spitz, and I think many people want to sing it.
The vocalist’s voice is gentle, yet clear and transparent with a solid core.
It’s difficult to express all of that in karaoke, but if you practice a few times without forcing it and focus on bringing out your natural voice, you’ll get the hang of it.
Clock StrikesONE OK ROCK
ONE OK ROCK is a band with aggressive, cool performances and powerful vocals, taking flight from the Japanese rock scene to the world.
Their songs have a breadth reminiscent of Western music.
The vocal range is high, so it might be challenging for those with lower voices.
However, there are many scooping (melismatic) spots, so if you can hit high notes, give it a try.
March 9Remioromen
Because the pitch gap between the chorus and the other parts is steep, this song is often classified as difficult.
However, if you can handle that range, it’s a great track for aiming at a high score.
The key points are that the tempo is slow, so make sure to sustain notes where needed and keep a steady rhythm!
Hold me all the wayKinKi Kids
Among Kinki Kids’ songs, this early track is known for being easy to sing because it doesn’t have many quirks or intricate features.
It remains a classic favorite among fans and is also well-known as a karaoke staple.
It’s definitely worth learning so you can sing it.
