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)
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.
Surely, alwaysSano ibuki
Sano ibuki is a singer-songwriter who’s gained popularity with his orthodox songwriting.
If you’re a male in your teens to early twenties, you’ve probably heard his songs at least once.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Kitto Zutto.” It’s a classic, straightforward J-pop ballad without any quirks, and because there are very few parts where you have to belt and no serious long tones, it’s very easy to sing.
There aren’t any irregular progressions either, so simply focusing on pitch should be enough to aim for a high score.

SparkleRADWIMPS
It’s a track from RADWIMPS’ sixth major-label album, “Ningen Kaika,” which, along with “Zenzenzense,” served as a theme song for the popular anime “Your Name.” So many of you will likely find it familiar.
I feel a bit bad saying this after calling it a “song that’s easy to score high on at karaoke,” but compared to the other songs introduced under this theme, getting a high score with this one might be a bit more challenging.
Overall, it has a relaxed tempo and a simple, approachable melody, but especially in the chorus, the phrase endings use slightly intricate pitches and chords.
To avoid falling into that trap, thoroughly memorize and internalize the original melody—that will be the key to a high score.
Also, the ad-lib section at the end of the song requires fairly high notes, so be sure to pay close attention to your key setting.
Tomorrow never knowsMr.Children
A song by Mr.Children that was used as the theme for the drama “Wakamono no Subete” and as an insert song in “Antique: Seiyō Kottō Yōgashiten.” Among Mr.Children’s songs, this one seems easier to sing and good for aiming at a high score.
Try singing it calmly so you can follow the notes properly.
NO MORE CRYD-51
A motivational song that became a huge hit as the theme for the second season of the drama Gokusen.
Many people are sure to feel nostalgic.
The C-melody in particular involves frequent switches between chest voice and falsetto, so it’s recommended for those who are good at falsetto.
The repeated phrases in the chorus also make it crucial to see how accurately you can stay on pitch.
Also, the long G4 note right before the chorus jumps up suddenly, so be careful not to strain your throat by pushing your voice all at once.
If you sing as if you’re running up toward that G4, you should be able to nail the timing.
Keep your facial muscles lifted throughout the C-melody when you sing.
