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 Recommended for Women That Make It Easy to Score High (201–210)
ParadiseNiziU
This is the fifth single overall by the idol group NiziU, released in March 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for the Toho-distributed film Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Sky Utopia.
The song has a slightly mellow feel, and the vocal melody spans a somewhat higher range, so it might be a bit challenging to casually hum along.
However, the melody itself is very straightforward and easy to remember, and the lyrics fit the melody naturally without feeling forced.
In that sense, I thought it could be a recommended track even for those who aren’t confident singers.
If you pay attention to where the notes are held and stopped—that is, the placement of rests—and sing accordingly, it should sound nice.
If you’re interested, listen closely to the original and study it.
My Room, My Dress Shirt, and MeHiramatsu Eri
Eri Hiramatsu’s biggest hit song, “Room, White Shirt, and Me.” If you’re a woman in your 40s, you’ve probably heard it at least once.
Because Eri Hiramatsu’s vocal range is quite high, many people may think this song requires a wide range.
In reality, it’s simply sung in a high register, and the overall range isn’t broad.
Even women with lower voices should be able to sing it well if they adjust to a suitable key.
The vocal line itself is simple, so be sure to find a key that fits you and give it a try.
Kiroromirai e
This was the female duo Kiroro’s second single, released in June 1998.
It’s often sung in middle and high school music classes and at choral competitions, and it’s also a popular graduation song, so many women may have performed it in those settings.
The melody is very simple and straightforward, making it easy to hum, so it’s one of the best choices when you want to aim for a high score at karaoke.
Because it’s such a plain and unadorned song, as mentioned, not trying too hard to sing it perfectly and just singing it naturally might be the best secret to a high score.
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.
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.
