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)

Don’t cheat on me.Koresawa

Koresawa “Don’t You Cheat on Me” [Music Video]
Don't cheat on me.Koresawa

Among female listeners, especially those in their 20s, singer-songwriter Koresawa enjoys overwhelming support.

Although she has built a considerable career since her debut, her sweet-and-sour style remains intact, and in “Uwaki Shitara Akan de” (“Don’t You Dare Cheat”), she delivers a cute message that literally warns her boyfriend not to cheat.

The vocal line in this track features very few long tones and stays within a narrow range.

Since Koresawa’s songs often sit in higher registers, this is a must-listen for women seeking an easier Koresawa track to sing.

MermaidYuka

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.

I’m only gazing at you.Daikoku Maki

As an artist born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Maki Ohguro has captivated many fans with her powerful vocals and compelling performances.

She began performing in bands in high school and made her debut in 1992.

Since then, she has colored the music scene with songs rooted in pop while embracing a wide range of genres, including rock and R&B.

Known for her strong vocals and catchy melodies, she won the Excellence Award at the Japan Record Awards and the Best 5 Artists at the Japan Gold Disc Awards in 1995.

After overcoming a period of hiatus, she continues to be energetically active today.

Her world, conveyed through powerful singing and lyrics that resonate deeply, is a perfect match for listeners seeking both the strength and warmth that music can offer.

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.

Eriko Hashimoto is known as the lead vocalist representing Chatmonchy, the rock band that took flight from Tokushima to the national stage.

While rooted in rock, she has captured the hearts of many listeners with her delicate sensibilities and straightforward lyrics.

Formed in April 2000, Chatmonchy achieved a major breakthrough with a tie-in song for a Fuji TV anime, reaching the top 10 on the Oricon singles chart.

Their powerful vocals, guitar work, and onstage performances have consistently earned high praise.

Even as she navigated life events, she deepened her musicality, and after the band disbanded in July 2018, she has continued to express herself naturally and authentically as a solo artist.

Highly recommended for those seeking music that captivates with strong vocals and sincere lyrics.

Erisa, who made the leap from idol model to rock band member, captivates with her versatile expressiveness.

As the vocalist of EMONON, she has been fully active in music since 2023, skillfully blending an exhilarating band sound with catchy melodies.

On the album “NO NAME,” the collection of songs—both intense and delicate—moves listeners deeply, and within just a year of forming, the band proved its mettle by successfully headlining a solo show at Shibuya eggman.

Drawing influence from UVERworld and Vaundy, her powerful vocals fused with the expressive skills honed during her idol days create a unique world that’s perfect for listeners seeking a voice that truly resonates.

Song of FlowersAimer

Aimer “Hana no Uta” (Starring: Minami Hamabe / Theme song for the theatrical film Fate/stay night [Heaven’s Feel] I. presage flower)
Song of FlowersAimer

Aimer’s 13th single, released in October 2017.

I bet many of you thought, “Huh? Is this a song you can actually score high on?” It’s true that because of Aimer’s distinctive singing style, a lot of people might think at first listen, “This sounds hard!!” But if you don’t get distracted by that and really listen to the original, you’ll notice the vocal range used isn’t actually that wide.

So if you memorize the melody well and can trace it accurately, getting a high score shouldn’t be that difficult.

That said, there’s a risk the song could end up sounding dull if that’s all you focus on.

In that sense, it may be a good example of how a so-called “textbook” high score doesn’t necessarily make it a “good performance.” After you try singing it once and manage a high score, I think it’s great to enjoy it in your own style and interpretation!
