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 highly on (71–80)

NEW LOOKAmuro Namie

Released as a single in 2008, it was used as the commercial song for P&G’s “Premium Vidal Sassoon.” Setting itself apart from her previous danceable tracks, Namie Amuro appears refreshingly new in 1970s mod fashion inspired by Twiggy.

With a narrow vocal range and no high notes even in the chorus, it’s an easy number to sing for women who can’t hit high pitches.

AKINO from bless4’s first single, released in April 2005.

The title says it all, so no explanation needed: it’s the theme song of the anime with the same name.

Now, you might wonder why I’m introducing it as a song that’s relatively easy to score high with at karaoke, but despite being in the recent anisong style, it actually has a lot of sections with big pitch jumps and can be quite tough to sing.

Pay special attention to the sudden high note at the end of the A verse, right before it moves into the B verse.

The chorus melody is also relatively challenging, but since it’s from a popular anime, many of you are probably familiar with it.

If you memorize it well and sing confidently, you should be fine.

Go for that high score!

As many times as you likeDREAMS COME TRUE

“Nando Demo” is popular across all generations.

I used to sing it a lot too, and it seems many people are familiar with the chorus, so it always got the crowd going.

It’s definitely a song worth knowing! The tricky part of this song is the breathing during the chorus.

Where the same phrase repeats, you can run out of breath and it gets tough.

Proper diaphragmatic breathing is important, but rather than belting each phrase with full power, try to focus on connecting the lines as you sing.

When you shift your mindset, your body will adjust so your breath lasts through the phrase.

Also, the last chorus is the most demanding; singing it with a powerful voice is more for advanced singers.

Don’t push yourself—start by singing it lightly, and you’ll get used to it little by little.

It’s also a great song for strengthening your chest voice, so give it a try in practice!

Song of LoveKōda Kumi

Koda Kumi’s 37th single, released in September 2007.

It’s what you’d call a classic love ballad.

When it comes to singing ballads at karaoke, many people might hold back, thinking, “Don’t you have to be a really good singer?” But don’t be intimidated! With this song, the melodic development follows the textbook style of a ballad, so I think anyone can sing it comfortably.

Because it has a very straightforward and beautiful melody, take care with each note and each word of the lyrics, and sing it thoughtfully and delicately.

I’m sure a high score won’t just be a dream!

I think it’s a song many people know from commercials.

It’s a beginner-friendly enka that you can sing without using vibrato like in traditional enka.

The biggest key is to immerse yourself emotionally and boost your score with expressive delivery.

Be careful not to slip off the rhythm.

CAN YOU CELEBRATE?Amuro Namie

CAN YOU CELEBRATE? / (25th Anniversary Live Edit)
CAN YOU CELEBRATE?Amuro Namie

A classic wedding song that continues to be sung by many people even today.

Because the pitch is stable and the tempo is slow, it’s easy to score high as long as you stay on key.

There are many long notes as well, so use plenty of vibrato to rack up points.

The Toilet GodUemura Kana

The lead track included on Kana Uemura’s fifth mini-album, “Watashi no Kakeratachi,” released in March 2010.

Perhaps due in part to its slightly comical theme, the melody has an approachable, almost nursery-rhyme-like quality, making it a great choice as a karaoke number for scoring high points.

That said, Uemura’s vocal ability is quite high, and while parts may sound effortlessly sung in the original, you may find they’re unexpectedly difficult when you actually try to sing them yourself.

Be sure to learn the subtle melodic movements carefully, and since there are some surprisingly high notes, you might want to pay attention to setting the key appropriately.
