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!

raw liverkuriipuhaipe
CreepHyp is a rock band known for its wide-ranging musicality, from catchy tunes to unique works.
They’re especially popular among teens and people in their twenties, and many of you probably know them since they’re constantly dropping hit tracks.
Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is Nama Reba.
It’s a unique piece that, while quirky, reveals a serious message in the latter half.
The vocal line in this track is very simple.
The range is on the narrower side, with no complex rises and falls in pitch.
In fact, the chorus is quite monotonous.
However, because there are few break points in the chorus, make sure to steady your breathing as you transition from the B-melody into the chorus.
powder snowRemioromen
Remioromen’s seventh single, released in November 2005.
It was also featured as an insert song in the drama “1 Litre of Tears.” Now then, I’m introducing it as a song you can aim for a high score with, but the chorus goes pretty high… and it requires a strong chest-voice high note rather than falsetto, so unfortunately it’s hard to say this is an easy song for anyone to score high on.
That said, the melody is easy to remember, the tempo makes it easy to sing, and it doesn’t demand a lot of diverse vocal techniques, so once you clear the high notes, the rest should be manageable.
First, try challenging yourself by finding a key that suits you.
Still, I think singing it in a key that feels just a bit tough will make it a song that really “connects” with listeners!
I LOVE YOUOzaki Yutaka
An immortal classic that straightforwardly portrays the hopeless relationship of two people who can’t make it work because they’re too young.
It’s often thought of as high-pitched, but as long as you can use falsetto, it’s no problem at all—just make sure not to miss the high notes when you sing.
asking for the moonKANA-BOON
“Naimononedari,” a track from KANA-BOON’s first mini-album “Boku ga CD wo Dashitara,” released in 2013.
The key might be a bit high for the average male singer, but the simple melody makes it easy to sing and has a great groove, so it’s highly recommended.
Sing your heart out and rack up a high score!
day by dayKANA-BOON
KANA-BOON is a rock band that has enjoyed lasting popularity over the years.
Known for their unique expression and the profound messages that shine through it, they’ve dropped numerous hit songs to date.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Hibi.
It’s a J-pop ballad wrapped in a powerful yet fleeting mood, sung at a relaxed tempo throughout.
While the melody isn’t exactly gentle in its rises and falls, the lyrics have relatively few words, so you can properly prepare before any sudden jumps in pitch.
Lights Out feat. Jeremy QuartusNulbarich
Nulbarich is a band that’s gained popularity for a sound influenced by Western music—the name is pronounced “Nul-bah-rich.” They’ve built a devoted following and released many classics over the years.
Among them, Lights Out feat.
Jeremy Quartus is a track that’s particularly easy to score high on.
The song’s vocal range is very narrow, and it doesn’t feature complex vocal techniques often found in Western music, such as ad-libs or hiccups.
Since much of the lyrics are in English, pronunciation is the only real challenge, but if you can handle that, it’s definitely a song that makes it easier to aim for a high score.
Wonder WorldRhythmic Toy World
Rhythmic Toy World is a rock band centered on an alternative rock sound that has been active since the 2010s.
They’re well-known in the Japanese rock scene and have produced many classic tracks.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Wonder World.
Overall, it’s a song with a narrow vocal range and a relatively even vocal line.
There’s a falsetto part in the second verse, so as long as you watch out for that, you should be able to aim for a high score.
