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 (241–250)
We’ll Be OKKōda Kumi
Kumi Koda’s 14th digital single, released on July 28, 2021.
It’s a mid-tempo, pop-leaning track, and since the vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, both the rhythm and melody are easy to catch, making it very accessible and singable.
The rhythm has a slight swing, so be careful not to let it become flat when you sing.
Also, aiming for a solid low-register vocal delivery, like Kumi Koda herself, will make it even better.
love’s proofKōda Kumi
This is Kumi Koda’s 35th single, released in March 2007.
It was issued as a double A-side with the coupling track “BUT,” and the title track “Aishou” served as the theme song for the NTV drama “Ai no Rukenchi” (The Prisoner of Love).
The lyrics were written by Kumi Koda herself, reportedly from the perspective of the drama’s protagonist.
True to Koda’s appeal—her slightly husky voice—the vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, and while the tempo is somewhat slow, it’s not so slow as to make it hard to sing.
That makes it a song the general public can choose at karaoke and still aim for a high score.
There are parts—especially around portions of the chorus—where you need to switch to falsetto, so practice making that transition smoothly.
La La LaDaikoku Maki
This was Maki Ohguro’s 10th single overall, released on February 20, 1995.
It was used as the theme song for the TV Asahi (ANB) drama “Aji Ichimonme.” It’s a hit from the so-called golden age of 1990s J-pop.
In that era, karaoke selections were extremely important to a recording’s sales, so songs were often crafted with singability and memorability in mind.
This track is no exception: both the melody and rhythm are very easy to sing, making it one of the best choices if you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke.
If possible, try singing with the same powerful delivery as Ohguro herself for an even better effect.
But be careful not to strain your throat with a tight, constricted vocal technique!
TOMORROWMayo Okamoto
This was Mayo Okamoto’s debut single, released on May 10, 1995.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Second Chance.” I think the melody and tempo are very straightforward and easy to sing, but the rhythm has a slight bounce, so be careful not to fall behind it when you sing.
Mayo Okamoto has exceptionally strong expressive vocal skills, so if you focus on things like how she handles phrase endings and her vocal delivery as you practice, you’ll gain a lot.
It’s also an ideal song to use as “practice material for high scores!”
Bird’s PoemSugita Kaoru
This is singer and actress Kaoru Sugita’s 10th single overall, released in June 1981.
It was produced and released as an insert song for the Nippon TV drama “Ikenaka Genta 80 Kilos,” in which Sugita herself appeared.
Although the song has a somewhat wistful mood with a touch of traditional Japanese flavor, the vocal melody is very simple and evokes a hint of classic school songs.
It’s easy to follow the melody and sing along, making it a great choice for karaoke.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide either, so definitely try aiming for a high score with this track!

Dewdrops of DreamsMatsu Takako
It’s Takako Matsu’s 8th single, released in September 1999.
It’s a gentle, ballad-style piece—a beautiful song that evokes a sense of nostalgia and a distinctly Japanese resonance.
The melody structure and vocal rhythm are simple, so I think it’s a song that makes it relatively easy to aim for a high score in karaoke.
The track really brings out Matsu’s clear, transparent voice, so if you’re good with high notes and have a bright, airy tone, I’d love for you to give this one a try!
The wind is autumn-colored.Matsuda Seiko
This was Seiko Matsuda’s third single, released in October 1980.
At the time, it was used in a Shiseido commercial for “Ekubo Milky Fresh.” As the title suggests, the song has a bright feel that evokes the clear autumn sky, with a simple, catchy melody—truly a textbook example of a Showa-era idol song.
This kind of track is a classic choice when you want to aim for a high score in karaoke! For the high notes, try not to strain your throat; place the sound toward your upper palate to create a bright tone as you sing.
