Karaoke songs that make it easy for women to score high
Karaoke systems with scoring features have been getting more and more sophisticated lately, and an increasing number now evaluate vocal techniques like vibrato and scooping.
However, the largest part of the scoring criteria is still the accuracy of melody and rhythm.
In this feature, we focus on those criteria and have compiled a selection of songs that are easy to sing and likely to score high, especially ones where it’s easy to follow the melody and rhythm.
When karaoke has a scoring function, you can’t help but want to go for a high score, whether you’re confident in your singing or not.
For each song, we’ve also included tips on how to earn a high score, so be sure to use them as a reference and aim for your best.
That said, the most important thing is to forget about the numbers and just sing freely and have fun the way you like!

Karaoke Songs That Are Easy for Women to Score High On (61–70)
Pink Zipper feat. Yuka NagaseSugawara Kei
Singer-songwriter Kei Sugawara has won popularity with down-to-earth lyrics that resonate with young people and a catchy musical style.
She has dropped many hit tunes, but the one I especially recommend for aiming a high score is Pink no Zipper feat.
Yuka Nagase.
It’s a collaboration with Yuka Nagase, and both parts are sung within a narrow vocal range.
While there is some up-and-down movement in pitch, it’s not so abrupt, so matching the pitch is easy.
Don’t give upZARD
ZARD’s sixth single, released in January 1993.
This song—and really, not just ZARD but many artists from the so-called “Being-kei” scene up through the early ’90s—are a goldmine of tracks you can sing at karaoke to rack up high scores! Back then, major labels put a huge emphasis on winning over users in the karaoke market, so J-pop from that era was crafted to be incredibly singable, easy to remember, and catchy.
ZARD in particular had, in a good way, a kind of “non-professional-sounding” vocal style that became a selling point, so anyone with a bit of singing experience should find it easy to aim for a high score.
Definitely give it a try!
threadNakajima Miyuki
This is Miyuki Nakajima’s 35th single, released in 1998, issued as a double A-side with “Inochi no Betsumei” (Another Name for Life).
The song originally appeared on her 1992 album “EAST ASIA” and was written as a celebratory piece for the wedding of Tenrikyo’s fourth Shinbashira, Zenji Nakayama.
It is also known for being used, along with “Inochi no Betsumei,” as a theme song for the 1998 TV drama Seija no Koshin (March of the Saints).
God Knows…Hirano Aya
As an insert song from the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, this is the track Haruhi and the others perform during the cultural festival live show.
It’s a fast-paced band sound and a genuine rock number, so it might be challenging at first glance, but with practice I think it’s quite singable.
The “A” section’s laid-back timing (the held-back feel) is very important, so be careful not to slip off the beat.
The “B” section progresses without much change in range, but keep your eyebrows lifted to prevent your pitch from dropping.
Also, the chorus goes into higher notes with an image of an emotional outburst—if you project your voice energetically into the distance, you should be able to sing without straining your throat!
You…Nishino Kana
Kana Nishino’s 12th single, released in November 2010.
It’s crafted as a ballad with a fairly grand arrangement.
When you hear “grand ballad,” many people might imagine it requires powerhouse vocals to belt it out, but since this song was made specifically for Kana Nishino, it’s designed to let her cute, charming vocal style shine.
That said, there are some high notes in the chorus that use falsetto (head voice), so you’ll need to handle the switch in vocal placement there smoothly.
The Story You Don’t Knowsupercell
The creator team supercell’s first single was released in August 2009.
In addition to the very poppy, catchy melody, the vocalist on this track, nagi, sings in a very straightforward and sincere style, so it shouldn’t be too hard to score high when singing it at karaoke.
There aren’t many particularly difficult sections in the melodic development either, so as long as you learn the melody well, you should be fine.
If there’s any challenge, it’s probably singing those clear, expansive high tones as beautifully as the original.
High notes can be made easier with proper training since it’s relatively straightforward to extend your range, so this might be a good opportunity to take some vocal lessons.
ButterflyKimura Kaera
This is a song by Kaela Kimura that was released exclusively as a digital single in 2009.
It was reportedly written for a close friend’s wedding and was also used in a commercial for the wedding magazine Zexy.
The song is composed within an easy-to-sing vocal range and can be performed with a calm vibe, so if you sing it comfortably at your own pace, you should be able to score high fairly easily!
