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 to score high on and recommended for women (211–220)
lightly; nimbly; flutteringlyŌhara Sakurako
This is Sakurako Ohara’s sixth single, released in March 2018.
It was also used as the theme song for the film Cheer Dance.
The song is a quintessential female-vocal ballad, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to memorize for karaoke.
Its appeal lies in its very straightforward, sincere vocal delivery, so even in karaoke, aim to sing boldly with a clear, expansive tone.
In the original, she mixes in falsetto on some of the high notes, but if switching registers is tricky for you, it’s fine to lower the key a bit and sing everything in chest voice.
You’ll likely score higher that way.
Try to emphasize the brighter, higher overtones and aim for a luminous, spacious performance throughout.
lensIkuta Rira
This is Lila Ikuta’s sixth digital-only single, released in June 2022.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama series “Is Love Sustainable? ~A March for Father and Daughter’s Marriage~.” Overall, there don’t seem to be many particularly difficult parts to sing at karaoke, but for the chorus, it may be better to study the original carefully beforehand—especially the curvature of how the vocal melody connects from note to note and the wide vibrato.
Do your best to reproduce even the subtle phrasing details.
Azure RabbitNoriko Sakai
It’s Noriko Sakai’s 27th single overall, released on May 10, 1995.
Chosen as the theme song for the NTV drama Hoshi no Kinka, it became a million-selling hit.
The song is notable for its very heartrending melody, and Sakai’s shining, beautiful vocals—rich in higher overtones—resonate very pleasantly.
The vocal melody is simple and easy to remember, with no particularly difficult parts to sing, making it an ideal choice when you want to aim for a high score at karaoke.

Left-hand drive now—my beloved car is a classic Mustang.Aya a.k.a. Panda
AYA a.k.a.
PANDA is a female rapper who has earned massive props from young listeners with a music style centered on party songs.
She gained huge popularity with her 2017 release “Amaechatte Sorry,” and has kept dropping hit tracks since.
This track is also a classic party tune, but since it features fewer of the currently trendy, highly technical flows, it should be relatively easy to match the pitch as long as your diction is decent.
The slightly melodic rapping is another factor that makes it easier to aim for a high score.
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!
I can’t say it.Furui Riho
Furui Riho is a female R&B singer whose refined musicality has won her popularity.
In Japan’s R&B scene, many tracks lean toward pop and can’t truly be called R&B, but she stands out by delivering authentic R&B interpreted through a distinctly Japanese lens.
Among her works, the track I especially recommend is Ienai wa (I Can’t Say It).
Many people associate R&B with difficult techniques—like heavy use of vocal runs—that can feel intimidating.
This song is different: while it incorporates genuine R&B elements, it features a catchy, singable vocal line.
It’s a great pick for anyone aiming for a high score with an R&B-style song.
366 daysHY
A track included on HY’s album “HeartY,” which was released in April 2008.
It was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama and Toho-distributed film “Akai Ito” (Red Thread).
The song features a very gentle and beautiful melody, making it easy to remember and sing—even for karaoke.
However, there are parts with large melodic leaps and shifts in vocal placement that require slightly more advanced singing technique.
It’s a selection geared a bit toward intermediate to advanced singers, but if you’re confident in your vocals, definitely give it a try.
This song has been covered by many artists, including Mone Kamishiraishi, so checking out those cover versions could be helpful too!
