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!

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.
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.
budKobukuro
It’s also famous as a graduation song, so I think few people don’t know it.
The gentle ballad has a slow tempo, making it easier to stay on pitch.
It might be a bit low for women, so it suits men better.
Let’s wrap the atmosphere of the room in a calm, moving mood.
It always begins with rain.CHAGE and ASKA
The gently moving ballad “Hajimari wa Itsumo Ame” by CHAGE and ASKA.
On streaming services you can only hear ASKA’s solo version, but on YouTube there are videos of the two of them singing together, so definitely check them out! The overall vocal range of the song is a relatively relaxed C#3–G#4, so it should be singable without too much strain.
Since the chorus goes a bit higher, lifting your facial muscles and resonating in your head can make it easier to hit the pitches.
Also, consciously articulating the vowels will add emphasis and make it feel great to sing!
LOVE LOVE SHOWTHE YELLOW MONKEY
Despite having no tie-in, it became a long-running hit that stayed in the Top 10 for five consecutive weeks—a signature track where The Yellow Monkey’s trademark sultriness fuses with the driving energy of rock.
Among fans, it’s often said to be “the most Yemon-like” song.
The vocal range isn’t very high, the melody is simple, and there aren’t many pitch jumps, so you may find it easy to sing.
Since it’s band rock, the snare drum sound is the key point; if you feel the groove slightly behind the beat, it’ll be easier to lock into the song.
Keep solid time with your body, and be careful not to overproject your voice.
