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 (221–230)
EverythingMISIA
This is MISIA’s seventh single overall, released in October 2000.
MISIA is known for her exceptional vocal ability, and her performance on this track is outstanding.
In that sense, it may be considered relatively difficult for karaoke.
However, because the melody features many long sustained notes and the tempo is slow, it’s very easy to add dynamics.
That makes it a song where you can aim for a high score in categories like “expression” in karaoke scoring.
It’s a slightly advanced pick, but listen closely to the original and give it a try.
It’s also an ideal track for practicing handling long tones, such as vibrato.
PolyrhythmPerfume
Perfume’s fifth single, released in September 2007.
The original track is heavily processed with pitch-correction effects—the so-called Yasutaka Nakata sound—but when you sing it at karaoke, it’s better not to focus too much on that vibe.
It’s a studio-crafted effect on a computer, so you can’t really reproduce it with live vocals (haha).
The melody itself is very simple, so it’s a song where you can sing normally and easily aim for a high score.
Still, with a track like this, it’s probably best not to worry about points and just have fun!
ColorfulSHISHAMO
SHISHAMO is a female three-piece rock band that has gained popularity for their music packed with cuteness and emotional vibes.
Their foundation is mainly pop, and they occasionally release punk-style or alternative tracks.
Their new song, Colorful, features a melody with strong J-pop elements.
The vocal line in this track is very simple, with no drastic pitch shifts or difficult high notes.
For most women, it’s easy to sing in the original key, making it a perfect choice for aiming for a high score at karaoke.
MisterYOASOBI
This is YOASOBI’s 14th digital-only single, released on February 16, 2022.
The tempo and rhythm are very easy to groove to, and the vocal melody is easy to hum along with, so I recommend it as a song choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
The beat has a bit of a bounce, so be mindful of where the accents fall and make sure your singing doesn’t become flat.
Study carefully where to hold notes and where to cut them short, then give it a try.
Open your heartZARD
This is ZARD’s 18th single, released in May 1996.
At the time, it was also used as a commercial song for Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Pocari Sweat.
It’s a mid-tempo track where Izumi Sakai’s unadorned vocals resonate with a touch of poignancy, yet the vocal melody is crafted to be very memorable and easy to sing.
With this one, many people should be able to aim for high scores at karaoke.
Not just this song, but 1990s J-pop—especially ZARD’s catalog—is a treasure trove of tracks that are easy to sing and great for scoring well at karaoke.
If you’re interested, try searching around; you’re sure to find a new favorite song!
Swaying feelingsZARD
This is ZARD’s 8th single overall, released on May 19, 1993.
At the time of its release, it became a massive hit, selling over a million copies.
The 1990s, when this song came out, were truly the golden age of J-pop! Record labels were very conscious of how songs would be sung in the karaoke market to boost sales.
Among them, B-Gram Records, the label ZARD belonged to, especially leaned into this trend.
Not just this track, but ZARD’s songs from that era in general are perfect choices if you’re aiming for a high karaoke score.
The melody and lyrics are very friendly and easy to remember, so definitely try for a high score with this one! It might also be fun to compete with friends in a one-song score battle with this track!

A sky full of holesadieu
This is adieu’s second single overall, released on March 2, 2022.
By the way, “adieu” is pronounced ah-dew and is the artist name used by actress Mone Kamishiraishi for her singing activities.
The song we’re introducing this time, Anaaki no Sora (“Sky with a Hole”), is a very gentle, medium-tempo track, and the vocal melody doesn’t have particularly complex movements, so I think it’s relatively easy to aim for a high score at karaoke by casually humming along.
The A-melody part should be especially easy to sing for women who are good at low notes.
There are a few spots in the chorus that are sung in falsetto (head voice), so if possible, listen carefully to the original beforehand and practice switching registers smoothly before giving it a try!
