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 (21–30)
bleeding loveHirate Yurina
Yurina Hirate, who was hugely successful as the center of Keyakizaka46, has been leveraging her mysterious persona to pursue a full-fledged career as an artist since graduating from the group.
Her new song is “bleeding love.” While it’s a track based on deep house, compared to songs by Becky Hill—known as a queen of this genre—the vocal line is crafted to be much catchier and easier to sing, making it surprisingly approachable.
There are no long sustained notes either, so it’s perfect for aiming for a high score at karaoke.
To Hikarimiwa
This is miwa’s ninth single, released in 2012.
It’s said to be the first song where miwa took on four-on-the-floor dance music, and it drew attention for featuring her dancing in the music video.
It’s a very up-tempo track, so if you ride the rhythm and sing comfortably without falling behind, it seems like a song where you can aim for a high score!
Karaoke songs that are easy for women to score high on (31–40)
Prisoner Of LoveUtada Hikaru
This song is Hikaru Utada’s 21st single, released first digitally in March 2008 and then on CD in May of the same year.
The quiet section at the beginning might be tricky to sing in a so-called Western style like Utada herself, but try not to be overly fixated on the original and just give it a go.
The key to singing this song well is to switch appropriately between mixed voice and falsetto.
Mastering this cool track will be incredibly rewarding, so definitely try for a high score!
TouchIwasaki Yoshimi
Yoshimi Iwasaki’s 20th single, released in March 1985.
It was the theme song for the first season of the popular anime Touch, based on Mitsuru Adachi’s original work.
What’s interesting about songs from this era is that, while the arrangements go beyond the traditional enka/pop framework to incorporate elements that would later be called J-pop, the vocal melodies themselves remain firmly rooted in the conventions of older kayōkyoku and folk music.
This track embodies that mid-80s approach.
Thanks to this kind of melodic writing, it’s also great for karaoke: the pitch range isn’t too wide, and there’s no need to hit extremely high notes, making it a strong choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
As with Yoshimi Iwasaki’s original performance, singing with a clear voice and crisp diction will serve you well.
You don’t have to put on a brave face until dawn.Nogizaka 46
Released in September 2019, this is Nogizaka46’s 24th single.
It’s practically begging you to aim for a high karaoke score! The melody is easy to remember and sing, and the lyrics are set to a very straightforward rhythm, so it could be fun to compete with friends for high scores with this song.
The tune has that quintessential Nogizaka feel—a slightly wistful, bittersweet melody—and it’s a really great song.
When you sing it, be careful not to let the high notes in the chorus sound weak.
Moonlight LegendDALI
Moonlight Densetsu, known as the opening theme of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, has a simple, memorable melody line and a vocal range that seems easy for anyone to sing.
If you sing too flatly from the verse into the chorus, the high notes in the chorus might feel tight and your voice could crack.
When you sing, try to focus on producing a bright tone.
If you can keep that, you should be able to move smoothly when the melody changes and stay on pitch more easily.
In any case, be mindful of carefully tracing the melody!
Ingot of Pure Lovetuki.
Right now, singer-songwriter tuki., who’s been causing quite a stir in the public eye over the face-revealing controversy, is attracting popularity with her catchy musicality and stylish vocals—so I imagine many women are familiar with her.
Among her tracks, the one I particularly recommend is Jun Ren’ai no Ingot (Ingot of Pure Love).
Despite its bright tone, the song has a narrow vocal range and doesn’t require advanced techniques like shouts or ad-libs, making it a piece where it’s very easy to aim for a high score.
