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 (81–90)

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.

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.

From the Disney animated film Frozen, the song we’re introducing this time is the Japanese version sung by Takako Matsu.

In this track, Takako Matsu showcases a stunning high-tone voice.

Choosing this song for karaoke and aiming for a high score might be a bit advanced, but the melody is very straightforward and easy to remember, making it an excellent piece.

I definitely recommend singing it at karaoke to go for a top score.

If you’re not confident with high notes, lowering the key a little should make it much easier to sing!

This is Aimyon’s 10th single, released in June 2020.

It’s a relaxed, medium-slow tempo song, and I think it’s very easy to sing if you’re aiming for a high score in karaoke.

In the chorus and other parts, Aimyon herself skillfully switches between chest voice and falsetto, but if you’re not good at this kind of “switching,” be sure to pay close attention to the key you set when you sing.

For those who are good at singing in falsetto, this track should be a perfect opportunity to rack up a high score!

This is Miliyah Kato’s 15th single, released in 2009, which became a hot topic for being a real tearjerker.

The chorus phrase was also used as the song’s tagline.

There are many fast-paced parts that seem difficult to sing, but that’s exactly why, if you can pull it off, it feels great and comes across as cool.

Boy Meets GirlTRF

This is a signature song by the music group TRF, which was hugely popular among young people in the 1990s, released as their seventh single.

It’s a dance track with an expansive, earthy image, so it’s a song you should sing with a sense of freedom.

The melody is simple and stays within a fairly consistent range, so don’t overthink it—focus on the groove and aim for a high score!

A track from Aimyon’s third album, “Heard There’s Delicious Pasta,” released in September 2020.

One key point when choosing songs that are easy to sing at karaoke and good for aiming for a high score is to pick songs that don’t have too wide a vocal range.

In that respect, this song doesn’t require any particularly high tones that are tough for most people, and its rhythm and tempo make it very easy to sing, so I think it’s one of the best choices.

Although Aimyon is known for her solid vocal ability, this song is very approachable, so definitely give it a try!
