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 (1–10)
Marigoldaimyon
It’s Aimyon’s fifth single, released in August 2018.
Some women may find the low notes a bit challenging to sing, but if you can get past that, you should be able to aim for a high score with this song.
Also, the way the lyrics fit the melody is quite unique, so you may need to memorize where to breathe and sing accordingly.
Staying faithful to the original—such as how the rests are placed—is also key to getting a high score, so be sure to learn that well.
And don’t forget to sing the high notes with power!
cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit)Otsuka Ai
Ai Otsuka’s second single, released in December 2003.
It was selected as the opening theme for the music program COUNT DOWN TV for December 2003, and later used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s variety show Mecha-Mecha Iketeru! in 2004.
Musically, it’s a quintessential 2000s girls’ pop track, featuring a light, upbeat rhythm with a poppy, simple, and accessible melody, making it very easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s an ideal choice if you’re aiming for a high karaoke score.
Sing it brightly, with energy, and have fun!
The Future Projection IIDREAMS COME TRUE
This is a song included as the 10th and final track on Dreams Come True (DREAMS COME TRUE/Dorikamu)’s second album, “LOVE GOES ON…,” released in 1989.
Although it was not released as a single, it is considered one of DCT’s signature songs.
Miwa Yoshida of DCT is often praised as a highly skilled vocalist, and some people might think, “Can you really aim for a high score with a DCT song?” But fear not! This song has a very straightforward melody, the pitch is easy to catch, and the vocal range used is set so that most women can sing it without strain.
If the original key is tough, transposing the key should easily solve the problem.
Since Miwa Yoshida’s singing style is quite distinctive, I’d say—speaking with a vocal director’s mindset—“Don’t try to imitate her exactly!” However, if you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke, it’s better to carefully study how she uses dynamics and phrasing in her performance.
Karaoke Songs Easy to Score High on for Women (11–20)
27:00Burandē Senki
Brandy War Chronicles is a band that sets itself apart from other girl bands with its stylish musicality.
While they fall under J-pop as a genre, some songs incorporate elements of Black music, giving them a very wide-ranging sound.
They have many great tracks, but 27:00 is especially recommended.
This song sits in a low vocal range, and the vocal lines don’t move widely in pitch.
Even so, it unfolds with high-level, sophisticated developments, making it a great pick for those who want to aim for a high score with a stylish track.
secret base 〜What You Gave Me〜ZONE
ZONE’s third single, released in August 2001.
It was also used as the ending theme for the drama “Kids War 3” starring Mao Inoue, so many of you may already know it.
Considering that all the members of ZONE were still in their teens at the time of release, the vocal expressiveness you hear in this song is quite remarkable.
The song itself, however, is straightforward and familiar, with a touch of nostalgia, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to sing at karaoke.
The key to getting a high score is to deliver the beautiful melody in a clear, straightforward way.
Aiming for a high score on your own is great, but it might also be a fun song to sing together with friends.
DESIRENakamori Akina
It’s Akina Nakamori’s 14th single, released in February 1986.
Showa-era J-pop often features straightforward melodies, and this song is no exception.
It’s also a track that’s relatively easy to score high on in karaoke.
However, there are many low-pitched parts, so be sure to project properly so your voice doesn’t get buried.
If you can produce a slightly gritty, weighty low tone like Akina Nakamori’s, that would be perfect!
Love isKato Miria
This is Miliyah Kato’s 10th single, released in June 2007.
At first listen, many people might feel it seems quite difficult to sing, but the underlying chord progression is the classic “canon progression” often used in ballads—in fact, the arrangement is more like placing a vocal line over Pachelbel’s Canon.
So if you tackle it without hesitation, you should be fine.
When you reach the high notes near the end of the chorus, be mindful not to let the falsetto burst out too sharply; try to sing as gently as possible and give it a go.
