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 to score highly and recommended for women (131–140)
First love is cryingaimyon
Released on June 8, 2022, this is Aimyon’s 13th single, chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 10 p.m.
drama “What Do You Do at the End of Love?” Aimyon’s simple, straightforward vocals resonate beautifully over a minimally arranged backing track.
In line with the song’s “simplicity,” the vocal melody and rhythmic phrasing are very straightforward, making it relatively easy for non-professionals to aim for high scores at karaoke.
There are some slightly high notes in the chorus, so if you’re going for a top score, be mindful of the key settings on the karaoke machine!
death anniversarychanmina
This is rapper Chanmina’s 17th digital-only single, released in August 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for the TV Asahi Thursday drama “Hayabusa Shobodan,” based on the novel by Jun Ikeido.
You can fully enjoy Chanmina’s powerful vocals with a bit of a gritty edge.
That said, the vocal melody itself doesn’t use a very wide range, and there aren’t any particularly complex or difficult parts to sing, so I feel many people will find it easier to aim for a high karaoke score.
Listen closely to the original and try to recreate Chanmina’s slightly lingering, sultry delivery.
Letting the rhythm of your singing rush ahead is a strict no-no if you’re aiming for a high score!
DiamondPurinsesu Purinsesu
This is the seventh single by the all-female pop-rock band Princess Princess (hereafter, Puri-Puri), released on April 21, 1989.
It was also their first hit to break into the top 10 of the Oricon charts.
The song has a very catchy rhythm and tempo, and the vocal melody is set in a range that most people can sing without strain, making it an ideal choice for aiming for a high score at karaoke.
If there’s one thing to watch out for when going for a high score, it’s that the rhythm has a slight swing (a bouncy feel), so be careful not to let it become flat—keep that swing feel as you sing!
The hottest summer in the worldPurinsesu Purinsesu
This was the second single by the Japanese girls’ rock band Princess Princess, released in July 1987.
At the time of that release, the band wasn’t very well known yet, so the song didn’t make much of a splash.
However, after the band broke through, it was remade and re-released in July 1989 as the “Heisei version,” and that one became a massive hit, selling 800,000 copies.
I’d say songs released from the late ’80s to around the mid-’90s are a goldmine of karaoke-friendly tracks that are easy to sing and score high on, and this song is no exception—it’s very easy to learn and casually hum along to.
The tempo feels especially comfortable and has a great groove, which is another big plus.
Definitely give this song a try and aim for a high score!
PIECE OF MY WISHImai Miki
It’s Miki Imai’s seventh single overall, released on November 7, 1991.
It was also used as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “Ashita ga Aru Kara,” in which Imai herself starred.
With its relaxed tempo and flowing melody, it’s very easy to sing for karaoke and a good candidate for aiming at a high score.
Since the vocal melody doesn’t have much range throughout the song, be careful not to let your singing become flat.
Keep it gentle and precise; then, in the latter half, add strength while maintaining that gentleness for an even better performance!
Embraced by the wintry windKoizumi Kyoko
This was Kyoko Koizumi’s 20th single overall, released on November 19, 1986.
It became the theme song for the Toei film “Don’t Mess with My Girl,” in which Koizumi herself starred for the second time.
The lyrics and composition were by Toshihiko Takamizawa of THE ALFEE.
A self-cover version by THE ALFEE was later released as well.
The song itself is crafted to be very easy to sing, with no large intervals in the vocal melody, so it should be manageable if you’re aiming for a high karaoke score.
It might also be fun to imitate THE ALFEE’s version and recreate the chorus parts with your friends!
BluestarYamamoto Aya
Sayaka Yamamoto, who enjoyed overwhelming popularity as the center of NMB48, has recently been active in many fields as a streamer, TV personality, and singer.
Among her works, the song Blue Star is one I especially recommend to women who want an easier path to a high score.
It does include some falsetto, but the falsetto passages are clearly high rather than awkwardly low, which actually makes it easier to match pitch when you sing.
It’s not exactly low difficulty, but it’s a great pick for those who want to aim for a high score while singing comfortably.
