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 Make It Easy for Women to Score High (251–260)

romantic feelingsAikawa Nanase

Nanase Aikawa / Koigokoro (Love Sentiments)
romantic feelingsAikawa Nanase

Released in October 1996, this was Nanase Aikawa’s fifth single.

It was also used in a Camellia Diamond commercial and became a massive hit, selling over a million copies.

As a song from the golden age of 90s J-pop, the vocal melody is very catchy, easy to remember, and easy to sing.

The tempo makes it especially lively and singable, so I can confidently recommend it when you want to aim for a high score at karaoke.

When you actually sing it, be careful not to rush the rhythm—listen closely to the snare drum in the backing track and lock into the song’s beat as you sing.

I’m PloudKahara Tomomi

Tomomi Kahala – I’m proud [full version]
I'm PloudKahara Tomomi

This is Tomomi Kahara’s third single, released in March 1996.

The lyrics, composition, and production were, of course, by Tetsuya Komuro.

In the 1990s, when having a song chosen and sung in karaoke was said to be one of the most important factors for a hit, Komuro Family tracks virtually dominated the top of the charts.

Given that, this song can rightly be considered a go-to choice when aiming for a high karaoke score.

It’s packed with a catchy melody and lyrics that are easy to sing and remember, and it’s easy to see why it became a million-seller.

If you find the highest notes in the chorus tough, try lowering the key and give it a shot.

It might also be fun to compete for scores with your friends using just this one song!

Princess MononokeMera Yoshikazu

Since this song was used as the theme for Studio Ghibli’s classic anime Princess Mononoke, there’s no need for me to explain the piece itself here.

The singer, Yoshikazu Mera, delivers a stunning countertenor performance, but the melody itself has a strong nursery-rhyme quality that makes it very familiar and easy to hum.

I think anyone can casually select it at karaoke and aim for a high score.

Because the tempo is slow and the melody uses many long sustained notes, be careful not to let your pitch waver during those long tones.

HikarimichiMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto

A digital-only song by Momoiro Clover Z, released in May 2023.

Just listening to it brings a gentle, somewhat nostalgic feeling.

The vocal melody is easy to hum along with, making it a song that many women can sing comfortably.

Try to sing while cherishing each and every word of the lyrics.

GoodbyeŌhara Sakurako

Sakurako Ohara - Goodbye (Music Video Short ver.)
GoodbyeŌhara Sakurako

Sakurako Ohara’s ninth single in total, released in November 2017.

It’s a song with an impressively beautiful melody, crafted to make the most of her pure, clear voice.

In a way, it’s a textbook example of a classic female-vocal ballad, so if you’re a woman with some confidence in your singing, it shouldn’t be too hard to aim for a high karaoke score.

Try to sing with a transparent tone, keeping your voice as clear as possible.

Also, be careful with the high falsetto parts so they don’t stick out too much.

Prince ShōtokuSuiyōbi no Campanella

Wednesday Campanella 'Prince Shōtoku'
Prince ShōtokuSuiyōbi no Campanella

A digital single released exclusively for streaming by Wednesday Campanella in October 2023.

It’s crafted as a medium-tempo track that simply makes you feel happy just by listening! The vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, so I think anyone can sing it comfortably.

Since it’s such a catchy and fun song, just be sure to lock in with the rhythm of the backing track when you sing.

ScarletDAZBEE

DAZBEE | “Scarlet” M/V
ScarletDAZBEE

DAZBEE is a Korean female singer known for her beautifully polished, voice-actor-like tone.

She has many hit songs, but among them, the one I especially recommend to women for aiming high scores is Scarlet.

Throughout the track, she uses a whisper-voice technique, singing in a soft, breathy style.

Because of this, it doesn’t require much vocal power.

The song also has a narrow vocal range, making it an ideal choice for going after a high score.
