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!

Aim for a high score! Karaoke songs for men to hit high scores (51–60)

dandelionYūsuke

It’s a ballad that expresses a love that’s almost too straightforward.

With its relaxed tempo and minimal pitch changes, it’s easy to sing, making it a song where even those who aren’t confident in their singing can aim for a high score.

The key to the chorus is to project boldly and sing with full voice.

Like a white cloudsaruganseki

It’s the debut single by the Japanese comedy duo Saruganseki.

The lyrics were written by Fumiya Fujii and the music was composed by Naoyuki Fujii.

Since it’s a ballad built on a very simple melody, I think it’s easy to cover perfectly and a good song for scoring high.

This is a timeless masterpiece by the powerhouse vocalist Kubota, loved across generations.

Because the singer’s vocal ability is so exceptional, the song can sound difficult, but in reality there are few spots within the measures where the pitch changes drastically, making it relatively easy to memorize and sing.

The masterpiece “Lazuli” by MONGOL800 and WANIMA.

Because WANIMA’s songs include punk elements, they often have a wide vocal range and incorporate shouts.

However, since this track is a collaboration with MONGOL800, the range is set on the narrower side.

Not only is the range narrow, but there are no advanced vocal techniques like shouts or ad-libs, so as long as you can match the pitch, it’s an easy song where anyone can aim for a high score.

You look like an idiot.Saucy Dog

Saucy Dog is a three-piece rock band that has gained popularity for their delicate musicality.

They’ve been active since 2013, and their popularity has only grown in the 2020s.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Baka Mitai.” When it comes to Saucy Dog, their striking high-tone vocals come to mind, right? Those high notes really shine in this track as well, but the overall vocal range isn’t actually that low.

If you can control your pitch properly, it’s a song where you can definitely aim for a high score.

Garari is a young singer-songwriter recognized even by Enon Kawatani.

Known for her inventive songwriting, she quickly gained attention starting in 2024.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Afternoon Shower at Two O’Clock.

It has a very narrow vocal range and plenty of rests, so even those who struggle with breath control can sing it without difficulty.

The song modulates in the chorus, so as long as you’re careful not to miss the pitch there, you should be able to aim for a high score.

Kenji Ozawa, a singer-songwriter who was active in the 1990s.

He’s famous for “Konya wa Boogie Back,” but his own songs are characterized by a languid, ennui-tinged style.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Karolla II ni Notte.

The song has a narrow vocal range and a very relaxed tempo, so anyone can easily aim for a high score.

There are quite a few sustained notes, so just be mindful of your breathing.

Since it doesn’t demand much volume, even those who aren’t confident in their lung capacity can sing it with ease.
