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)
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.
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.
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’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.
