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)
SunYorushika
Yorushika is a popular duo known for their wide-ranging musicality.
They can make any style their own, but the one that shines most is arguably their ennui-tinged sound.
Their song “Taiyo” (Sun) is a work where you can fully savor that moody aesthetic.
What makes this track especially easy to sing is its narrow vocal range.
In addition to sitting in a register anyone can comfortably produce, the vocal line has few ups and downs, making it an ideal choice for aiming at a high score.
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!
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.
Karaoke Songs Easy to Score High on for Women (11–20)
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.
TomorrowFurui Riho
Singer-songwriter Furui Riho, who has gained popularity for her R&B-centered musical style.
When people hear R&B, many imagine it as difficult because advanced vocal techniques like melisma and falls appear frequently as if they were standard features.
That’s why I recommend Tomorrow.
This song has a very strong J-pop influence and doesn’t feature any tricky melismas at all.
On top of that, the vocal range is narrow, making it a perfect choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
User ManualNishino Kana
Kana Nishino’s 27th single, released in September 2015.
It was also the theme song for the film “No Longer Heroine.” By now, it’s probably become one of the standard songs sung at weddings.
I bet many people have performed it as entertainment at friends’ wedding receptions, too.
It’s a super cute melody that really makes the most of Kana Nishino’s persona—she’s never claimed to be a so-called “powerhouse” vocalist—so it’s exceptionally easy to sing even at karaoke.
If your delivery gets too heavy, it can spoil the vibe, so try to keep it light, bright, and cute throughout! That said, if you’re confident in your singing, it could also be fun to lean into your vocal ability and really show it off.
Precisely because the melody is simple, there are lots of ways to enjoy the song beyond just aiming for a high score!
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!
