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)
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.
summer festivalWhiteberry
Originally famous as a song by JITTERIN’JINN, it regained popularity when Whiteberry covered it in 2000.
With its easy-to-remember melody and structure consisting of just two patterns—the chorus and the verse—you should be able to score well as long as you keep up with the rhythm.
to clear up (weather)Yorushika
Yorushika is a musical unit that enjoys overwhelming support from today’s youth.
With a wide range of songs—from soft J-pop to J-pop infused with rock elements—they’re always at the forefront of the scene.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend for women is Haru.
While this piece leans a bit more toward rock, the overall vocal range isn’t that wide, making it a good fit for women with lower voices.
If the falsetto at the end of the chorus feels difficult, rather than lowering the key, I think raising the key to make the falsetto easier will help you aim for a higher score.

Cutie HoneyKōda Kumi
Released in May 2004 as the lead track of Kumi Koda’s 11th maxi single, LOVE & HONEY.
It also served as the theme song for the live-action film Cutie Honey, in which she appeared.
As many of you may know, the original song is the theme from the popular 1970s anime Cutie Honey, and this is a cover.
Compared to the original, it features a slightly jazzy, stylish arrangement, but the easy-to-sing melody—so characteristic of Showa-era anime songs—remains intact.
It’s a song that anyone can aim for a high karaoke score with.
Channel your inner Kumi Koda and have fun singing it with sexy-cool flair!
Thank youikimonogakari
Released in 2010, this song was used as the theme for the NHK morning drama series Gegege no Nyobo and was also performed at that year’s Kohaku Uta Gassen.
It became Ikimono-gakari’s biggest hit, surpassing a million downloads as a full-length ringtone.
A warm and gentle number, it sets the familiar do-re-mi-fa-so scale to the lyrics “arigato” (thank you).
This is my way of life.PUFFY
A female duo, PUFFY released their second single in October 1996.
Following their smash-hit debut “Asia no Junshin,” the track was produced by Tamio Okuda.
Unlike the previous single, which was a collaboration with Yosui Inoue, this one marks Okuda’s solo production.
The song is characterized by a distinctly ’60s atmosphere and sound—peppered with guitar phrases that feel like an homage to the Beatles’ “Day Tripper” and even recorded in mono.
PUFFY’s vocals, with their intentional looseness and laid-back vibe, mesh perfectly with that aesthetic.
From a karaoke standpoint, this very “looseness,” which could be called the song’s concept, makes it easy to sing; as long as you can more or less trace the melody accurately, scoring high shouldn’t be difficult.
A Midsummer Night’s DreamMatsutōya Yumi
This was Yumi Matsutoya’s 24th single, released in July 1993.
It was the theme song for the sequel to the hit drama “Zutto Anata ga Suki Datta,” which gained popularity with the buzz around the character Fuyuhiko; the sequel was titled “Dare ni mo Ienai.” At first listen, some might think it’s a difficult song to sing due to its slightly Latin-influenced arrangement, but the melody itself is very simple and straightforward, without requiring a wide vocal range.
So scoring high at karaoke shouldn’t be too hard.
In the original, over a light, Latin-style beat, the vocals are delivered with a slightly behind-the-beat feel, but to get a high score it’s better to sing with a more on-the-beat sense of timing rather than imitating that style.
Just be careful not to rush the rhythm.
