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 Easy for Women to Score High (271–280)

[Official] Uru “Furiko” — Theme song for the film “The Voice of Sin”
pendulumUru

Uru’s ninth single, released in October 2020.

It was also chosen as the theme song for the Toho-distributed film “The Voice of Sin.” It’s a bit irresponsible of me to recommend it as a song that’s easy to score high on in karaoke, because Uru is an exceptionally skilled vocalist, and singing it just like the original requires a fair amount of vocal ability.

In particular, if you sing in the original key, you’ll need to be able to switch smoothly between chest voice, mixed voice, and falsetto.

You’ll also need strong expressive ability for delivering a gentle, emotive song like this.

That said, the tempo is relaxed and the phrasing isn’t complex, so if you can accurately trace the melody and rhythm, you should be able to aim for a fairly high score in karaoke.

It’s a selection geared a bit toward advanced singers, but definitely give it a try!

Baby youYūka

Yuka’s first major-label digital single, released in January 2023.

With an extremely friendly, easy-to-remember melody and a tempo that’s comfortable for many people to sing, this song is practically perfect material for aiming for a high karaoke score.

When actually singing it, practice switching smoothly between registers for the brief falsetto (head voice) high notes that pop up here and there in the chorus.

ai no hanaaimyon

This is Aimyon’s 14th single, released digitally in April 2023, with a CD single release also planned for June of the same year.

It was reportedly written as the theme song for the first half of NHK’s 2023 morning drama series Ranman.

Basically, the song features a very simple, singable melody and tempo, so I think it’s one of the best choices when you want to aim for a high score at karaoke.

Try practicing to keep the slightly side-to-side swaying rhythm from becoming flat, and to switch smoothly into the higher notes within the melody.

Midnight TalkIkuta Rira

A song by Lila Ikuta, who is also active as a member of the popular music unit YOASOBI, released in July 2023.

It has been used as the commercial song for Topvalu’s “Mogu Mogu Ajiwau Soup.” While Ikuta often sings complex, Vocaloid-like melodies in YOASOBI, in this solo track she sings a relatively simple melody, preserving the appeal of her slightly inorganic vocal tone.

This makes it easier for the general public to aim for a high score when choosing it for karaoke.

However, the vocal melody spans a fairly wide range toward the high end, so if you’re not comfortable singing in the high register—particularly using falsetto (head voice)—please be mindful of that when you sing.

For a higher score, try to stick closely to the beat of the backing track and aim for precise, on-the-dot rhythm.

It’s a song with a striking intro built from looping synth delay sounds.

The slightly husky, wistful voice of vocalist Ikuko Harada really draws you in, doesn’t it? With its sparse lyrics and flowing melody, it seems like it would be easy to sing at karaoke.

In conclusion

In the past, karaoke scoring was simple—if your pitch and rhythm were accurate, you could score high.

Recently, however, elements of vocal expression like vibrato have started to be factored into the scoring, making it a bit harder to achieve top marks.

Still, once you can handle that, those expressive techniques can become bonus factors that work in your favor.

So this time, I’ve selected songs that seem relatively easier to aim for high scores with, taking those aspects into account.

I hope this article helps you climb the rankings in friendly high-score competitions! That said, the best thing is to forget about the points and simply enjoy singing freely!
