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 (181–190)
Because the sun will rise againRyokushokushakai
It’s Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s fifth single overall, released on April 20, 2022.
It was written as the theme song for the animated film Crayon Shin-chan: Mononoke Ninja Chinpūden.
It’s an upbeat, very catchy, and lively track, so I think it’ll make you feel great and be a lot of fun to sing at karaoke.
Haruko Nagaya’s vocals deftly switch between mixed voice and falsetto, especially in the high notes of the chorus, so in that sense it might be a slightly advanced pick.
But if you’re not confident with high tones or smooth register shifts, you should be fine if you lower the key.
Ideally, I’d love for you to sing this song without worrying about scores—just enjoy singing and letting your voice out!
vip?Nisshoku Natsuko
Nisshoku Natsuko is a female singer-songwriter who’s gained popularity as a piano-playing vocalist.
She’s not an artist with an extremely low voice, but she does have a nicely relaxed lower register.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “vip?”.
The section where the chorus builds in voltage and then drops suddenly into a low part really brings out the allure of a low voice.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Love Love LoveDREAMS COME TRUE
This is DREAMS COME TRUE (DoriCam)’s 18th single, released on July 24, 1995.
It’s a classic 90s ballad that boasts total sales of nearly 2.5 million copies.
A hallmark of major releases from that era is that they were crafted with the karaoke market very much in mind, and this song is no exception—it’s made to be very easy to remember and sing.
If you try to imitate Miwa Yoshida’s vocal style too closely, you might find it harder to score well, so I think the trick to aiming for a high score is to avoid focusing too much on her delivery and simply follow the melody and lyrics straightforwardly.
The vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range either, so definitely give it a try!
You’re My Only Shinin’ StarNagayama Miho
This is Miho Nakayama’s 12th single, released in February 1988.
The song was written and composed by Toshiki Kadomatsu, who later released a self-cover version himself in 1999.
Not just for this song, but as a general tip for scoring high in karaoke, tracks from the mid-80s to early 90s are great targets.
Compared to modern songs, the melodies are straightforward, easy to understand, and generally easier to sing.
In the case of this song, Kadomatsu’s self-cover might make it seem a bit challenging, but Miho Nakayama’s version is arranged with a key that an average female singer can handle, and the tempo is a singable medium-slow.
It’s a really great song—give it a try!
TOMORROWMayo Okamoto
This was Mayo Okamoto’s debut single, released on May 10, 1995.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Second Chance.” I think the melody and tempo are very straightforward and easy to sing, but the rhythm has a slight bounce, so be careful not to fall behind it when you sing.
Mayo Okamoto has exceptionally strong expressive vocal skills, so if you focus on things like how she handles phrase endings and her vocal delivery as you practice, you’ll gain a lot.
It’s also an ideal song to use as “practice material for high scores!”
I’m PloudKahara Tomomi
This is Tomomi Kahara’s third single, released in March 1996.
The lyrics, composition, and production were, of course, by Tetsuya Komuro.
In the 1990s, when having a song chosen and sung in karaoke was said to be one of the most important factors for a hit, Komuro Family tracks virtually dominated the top of the charts.
Given that, this song can rightly be considered a go-to choice when aiming for a high karaoke score.
It’s packed with a catchy melody and lyrics that are easy to sing and remember, and it’s easy to see why it became a million-seller.
If you find the highest notes in the chorus tough, try lowering the key and give it a shot.
It might also be fun to compete for scores with your friends using just this one song!
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
To aim for a perfect 100, women don’t necessarily have to sing songs by female artists.
That’s why I recommend Bunny Girl.
It’s the well-known classic by AKASAKI.
Although the song is noted for its light, breezy melody, it surprisingly has a very narrow vocal range—among the narrowest even in Japanese pop.
The vocal line is also gently contoured with little variation, so as long as you set the right key, it should be easy to shoot for 100.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
