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 (191–200)

Oneway GenerationHonda Minako

Minako Honda, who made a dazzling transformation from idol singer to musical theater star.

Since her debut in 1985, she shone on the idol scene while also taking on classical music and musicals, showcasing activities that transcended genres.

She successfully held her first concert at the Nippon Budokan and, in 1988, formed the female rock band MINAKO with WILD CATS.

In her debut year, she won the Japan Record Awards’ Best New Artist, earning high acclaim for her talent.

Chosen from 12,000 candidates to play Kim in the musical Miss Saigon, she captivated audiences with her outstanding vocal ability and expressive power.

As a songstress who combines a powerful voice with graceful poise, she is highly recommended for those seeking music of the highest quality.

Among the Sakamichi groups, the idol group Keyakizaka46 is especially known for its stylish musicality.

While many of their songs are complex, their newly released track “Nothing special” is different.

It’s a mid-tempo piece with an impressive, grand arrangement, but it features numerous rests and gently flowing pitch movement, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

The vocal range isn’t exactly narrow, yet it doesn’t go particularly high either, so in many respects it can be considered a very singable song.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

YU-KA – Mermaid (Official Music Video)
MermaidYuka

Yuka, a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her unique musicality influenced by Western music.

She’s an artist with a slightly lower voice, and her mellow, gentle singing style is particularly striking.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Mermaid.

While it’s built on a slow-jam foundation, it doesn’t feature a challenging R&B-style vocal line with frequent ad-libs; instead, the vocal line maintains a relatively even contour throughout.

The chorus does incorporate mixed voice, but since it’s a non-belting mixed voice, even women in their 30s with lower voices should be able to sing it without any problem.

You know,aimyon

This is Aimyon’s 15th CD single, released in December 2023.

It was reportedly written as the theme song for the film “Totto-chan: The Little Girl at the Window.” It’s crafted as a simple piece that, just by listening, gives you a warm, gentle feeling.

The vocal melody reflects that character too—it’s very straightforward—so if you want to aim for a high score at karaoke, this is definitely a song to try.

At the beginning of the first verse, there’s a section sung over just a wah-tinged electric piano backing, so be careful not to get thrown off by the rhythm there.

Also pay attention to the switches between mixed voice and falsetto that appear throughout the song.

It might be a track where doing some prep before singing is especially important.

Karaoke Songs Recommended for Women That Make It Easy to Score High (201–210)

stooped back; slouch; poor posture (rounded back)nishina

Nishina is a female singer-songwriter with a uniquely distinctive voice, much like Jun Shibata.

She’s known for her warm, comforting songs and drew attention as an artist favored by Fujii Kaze.

Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is Nekoze.

It’s crafted as a catchy J-pop tune; while the vocal range tends to be somewhat wide, the overall vocal line is simple and easy to sing.

The falsetto near the end of the bridge (C-melody) can be a tricky spot, but since it doesn’t require much volume, as long as you focus on pitch, anyone can aim for a high score.

The First NightYorushika

Released in April 2023, this is a single by Yorushika, a Japanese male–female rock duo consisting of composer n-buna and vocalist suis.

It’s a very heartrending and beautiful ballad built around a piano-centered backing track.

Despite being an excellent piece, the vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range, and the melody itself is relatively simple, making it one of the best choices if you want to aim for a high score at karaoke.

Since the song is sung gently overall, almost like a whisper, be careful not to let your singing get rough—cherish each word of the lyrics and sing with care.

PrideImai Miki

This is Miki Imai’s 12th single overall, released on November 4, 1996.

Incidentally, the lyrics, composition, and production were all by Tomoyasu Hotei.

It was also used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Doc,” and as of 2021, it remains Miki Imai’s biggest hit.

Musically, the vocal melody follows a very simple A–B–A structure, and each section’s melody is clear, easy to remember, and easy to sing, making it an ideal choice if you want to aim for a high karaoke score.

The medium-to-slow tempo also contributes to its singability.

Singing it plainly and without forcing it—expressing it in a simple, natural way—may be the most important point for making the song sound good, and also the most difficult part to pull off.
