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 (91–100)

God Knows…Hirano Aya

God knows… “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” [Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu] Kadokawa-licensed MAD [Bass Performance]
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!

Love SongUru

[Official] Uru “Love Song” — Theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama series “My Fair Prince”
Love SongUru

This is Uru’s 11th single, released on August 25, 2021.

It also served as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama “Oshi no Ojisama.” Uru herself is a singer with exceptionally high vocal skill and expressive power, so many people might think, “Can I really score a high mark with a song like this?” But don’t worry! The song features a slow-to-mid tempo that’s very easy to sing, along with a smooth, memorable, beautiful, and straightforward melody, making it a track many people can aim for high scores with.

Practice switching smoothly between vocal registers in the parts sung with falsetto (head voice), such as in the chorus!

Free & EasyHamasaki Ayumi

Ayumi Hamasaki is overwhelmingly popular with women when it comes to karaoke song choices.

I’m sure many people have tried to go for high scores with her songs, but sometimes the points just don’t go up.

That’s why I recommend the song “Free & Easy.” First, there actually isn’t that much to sing, and there aren’t many words either.

If you can just nail the high notes in the chorus, you’re set.

The only drawback is that there are a lot of sections without vocals—like the intro and instrumental breaks—so listeners might get bored.

In that case, try using the “fast-forward” feature.

To the futureKiroro

Kiroro “To the Future” Music Video (Short ver.)
To the futureKiroro

Kiroro’s second single, released in June 1998.

When aiming for a high score in karaoke, it’s essential that the song’s melody be simple and straightforward.

Kiroro has many unembellished songs, and not just “Mirai e”—there are quite a few tracks that fit the bill.

Their own singing style is also very simple and direct, so I think the vocal melody is easy for anyone to trace.

Because of that, people who are confident singers might find it a bit unsatisfying to perform.

Still, try to sing it carefully so as not to break the original song’s unadorned aesthetic.

Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48

AKB48’s 32nd single, released in August 2013.

By the way, Rino Sashihara holds the center position for this song.

I think this is the kind of song you sing at karaoke not when you’re aiming for a high score, but when you want to have fun with a group.

Precisely because of that, the melody, rhythm, and phrasing are all very simple and easy to sing, so if you deliberately choose it when competing for high scores with friends, you can expect great results.

It’s not a song you need to overthink—just relax and enjoy singing it to the fullest!

StoryAI

Except for the phrase right before the final chorus, the melody has few pitch changes, making it easy to sing.

That means you can focus more on rhythm and technique.

There are many long tones, so if you consciously add vibrato, you can score extra points.

However, note that some parts in the second verse have slightly different rhythm and melody, and the key goes higher right before the last chorus, so make sure to practice well!

Guess Who Is BackKōda Kumi

Kumi Koda -KODA KUMI- “Guess Who Is Back” (Lyric Video)
Guess Who Is BackKōda Kumi

“Guess Who Is Back” is a popular song by Kumi Koda that was also used as an opening theme for the hit anime Black Clover.

It’s a cool, stylish track in a so-called rap-rock/mixture-rock style, featuring a somewhat heavy beat and distinctive distorted guitar.

The vocal melody is very simple, so even people who aren’t confident singers may find it relatively approachable.

I think the key to performing this song is how coolly you can nail the parts that are sung in a rap-like style in the original.

The chorus melody might be a bit tough for those who struggle with high notes, so be sure to check the key carefully before you sing.
