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 women can easily score high on (161–170)
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.
I can’t stay a daydreaming girlAikawa Nanase
It was Nanase Aikawa’s debut single, released on November 8, 1995.
Despite being her debut song, it became a big hit, selling over 400,000 copies.
It’s a medium- to up-tempo rock-style track with a very straightforward vocal melody that’s easy to sing and remember, so I think it’s a song that most people can score relatively high on if they casually pick it for karaoke.
Pay attention to pitch in parts like the A melody, where it’s sung in a relatively low register.
Also, be careful with the pitch and rhythm at the very end of the chorus—the section where the backing drops out and the title is sung solo by the vocals!
I love youNishino Kana
Kana Nishino’s 33rd single, released in April 2018.
It was selected as the theme song for the film “My Little Monster.” The song has a very relaxed tempo, and the vocals reflect that mood, resulting in a pleasantly “laid-back” track that’s easy and fun to hum along to.
Because of this, I think it’s one of the best choices when you want to aim for a high score at karaoke.
There are a few key changes throughout the song, so be careful not to get thrown off there.
Also, regardless of the melodic developments, singing the whole song in a steady, understated manner may be the key to achieving a higher score.
Sign of LovePUFFY
This is PUFFY’s sixth single overall, released on March 14, 1998.
PUFFY’s signature laid-back vibe (their charm, perhaps?) is alive and well in this track too! Because of that, I think it’s structured in a way that makes it relatively easy to score high in karaoke.
Also, back in the ’90s when this song came out, it was an era when a song’s success depended even more than today on how often it was sung at karaoke.
With that in mind, I suspect it was produced to be easy for anyone to sing.
Not just this song, but PUFFY’s tracks in general are perfect material for aiming at high scores, so give them a try at karaoke and go for that top score!
Goodbye, my beloved.Hana＊Hana
A single by the female vocal duo Hana*Hana, released on October 25, 2000.
It’s said to be a song written by member Izumi Kojima about her father, who passed away when she was 16, and it was also chosen as the theme song for the TBS “Toshiba Sunday Theater” drama Oyaji!, which aired in the October 2000 season.
Perhaps because of the songwriter’s deep feelings embedded in it, the vocal melody is very simple, somehow nostalgic, and very accessible, making it easy for the general public to sing in karaoke and aim for high scores.
Please try to sing gently throughout, cherishing each note of the melody and each word of the lyrics with care and delicacy.
