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 (41–50)
To the futureKiroro
Released in 1998, this was Kiroro’s second single and is one of their signature songs.
A defining feature is its clear, distinct pitch for each note, making it easy to follow carefully.
With its relaxed tempo, it also seems like a song that’s easier to aim for a high score on.
wa, wo, nnishina
Nishina is a female singer-songwriter who’s gained popularity for her catchy musicality.
In her early days she mainly focused on orthodox J-pop, but recently—perhaps influenced by her connection with Fujii Kaze—her songwriting has taken on a more Western feel with a touch of R&B.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Waon.” It has a wide vocal range—but that’s primarily if you sing the chorus in falsetto.
The falsetto is quite high, so it’s perfectly fine to sing it an octave lower.
Overall, the pitch is easy to control in this song, so definitely aim for a high score.
God knows…Hirano Aya
A single featuring insert songs from the TV anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, released in June 2006.
The CD jacket features Haruhi Suzumiya.
In the anime itself—episode 12, “Live Alive” of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya—the song was used alongside “Lost my music,” with Haruhi Suzumiya actually performing it on screen.
It’s a very lively, up-tempo rock song with a simple vocal melody, so as long as you adjust the key to suit your range, it’s a good choice for aiming for a high karaoke score.
The high notes in the chorus are a bit high, so if you struggle with high pitches, make sure to find a key setting that works for you in advance.
instinctShiina Ringo
This is Shiina Ringo’s fourth single, released in 1999, which became a hot topic thanks to its music video featuring a nurse outfit.
It’s also her biggest hit, achieving million-selling status.
As for singing it, while Shiina Ringo’s distinctive style includes things like rolled r’s, if you’re aiming for a high score, I recommend not worrying about that and just singing it in your own way!
Things that have formShibasaki Kou
Ko Shibasaki’s sixth single, released in August 2004.
It was also used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World.” It’s a medium- to slow-tempo ballad, and the chorus is especially memorable—a beautiful song.
Listening to Shibasaki’s own performance, you can tell she has very high vocal ability, particularly in how she releases her voice in the high notes and her expressiveness.
Musically, it’s quite simple, so it’s also recommended as a song to aim for a high karaoke score.
When you sing it yourself, try to use a gentle tone and gentle vocal delivery, and sing carefully.
Rolling StarYUI
This is YUI’s seventh single, released in January 2007.
It’s a brisk guitar rock track where YUI’s cute voice and poppy melodies shine against a fairly solid rock sound.
The melody itself is relatively flat, so scoring high at karaoke shouldn’t be too difficult.
Precisely because of that, just aiming for a high score isn’t very interesting—try singing it with a cool, stylish edge that channels YUI herself.
For the high notes at the end of the chorus, don’t let them weaken; forget about the score and belt them out—nailing them with full power will seal the cool vibe.
CHE.R.RYYUI
This is the eighth single by singer-songwriter YUI, released in March 2007.
When you listen to the original, especially the A-melody at the beginning, you might feel hesitant to sing the low-pitched chorus part, which is probably processed, but rest assured: if you pay attention to the melody, it’s very simple and easy to sing.
From the chorus onward, the melody shifts to predominantly high notes, so be sure to create a clear contrast from the B-melody and try to sing in a way that fully conveys the sense of openness in the chorus!
