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 (51–60)
Secret Of My HeartKuraki Mai
Mai Kuraki’s third single, released in 2000, became a million-selling smash hit.
It was also used as the ending theme for the hugely popular anime Detective Conan.
While the song requires some technique—such as using falsetto in parts—its melody is generally simple and repetitive, so once you get the hang of it, you should be able to aim for a high score in karaoke!
Merry XmasBoA
This is a popular winter song that captures memories of Christmas and the season with someone you love.
It’s a heartwarming track that makes anyone feel gentle and warm.
While many parts sit in a higher pitch, the rhythm is slow and easy to follow, so make good use of your falsetto.
Longing, sadness, and strength of heartShinohara Ryōko
This is Ryoko Shinohara’s fourth single, produced by Tetsuya Komuro and released in July 1994.
It had a slow start, debuting at No.
20 on the Oricon chart, but thanks in part to being the theme song for the movie Street Fighter II, it achieved double million sales with a cumulative total of 2 million copies.
Likely reflecting the era, the song seems crafted with the karaoke market in mind; each section is very straightforward and has that signature Komuro pop sensibility, so there aren’t really any awkward parts to sing.
If there’s any potential hurdle to scoring high, it would be whether you can handle the sudden key change in the chorus—a common feature in Komuro’s songs.
If you just pay attention to that part when you sing, you should be able to score quite high!
fragileEvery Little Thing
It’s one of the signature songs by the nationally beloved music group Every Little Thing! Released in 2001, it also holds the distinction of being the first Oricon chart No.
1 of the 21st century.
It was used as the theme song for the hugely popular dating variety show “Ainori” at the time, so it’s a tune almost everyone has heard, making it a karaoke staple enjoyed by people of all ages!
YELLikimonogakari
Ikimono-gakari’s 15th single, released in September 2009.
It’s a lovely, minor-key ballad with a touch of wistfulness.
When you hear “ballad,” you might brace yourself thinking, “That sounds hard to sing!” but songs with fewer notes and a slower tempo can actually be easier to sing carefully and may help you score higher.
Many Ikimono-gakari songs make heavy use of high tones, but in this gentle track the high notes are more restrained, so most women should be able to sing it in the original key.
Give it a try, focusing on enunciating the lyrics clearly!
The Maiden with Flaxen HairShimatani Hitomi
Released in May 2002 as Hitomi Shimatani’s seventh single.
The original song was released in 1968 by the Group Sounds band The Village Singers, so this track is a cover.
Initially, there were no plans for a CD release—the recording was made as a commercial jingle—but due to the strong positive response to the ad, it ended up being released.
It’s a superb arrangement that makes great use of Shimatani’s bright voice, rich in higher overtones.
Now, looking at this song as a karaoke pick: since the original is classic Showa-era pop, it’s an excellent choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
Shimatani’s singing, while technically strong, isn’t overly idiosyncratic; its appeal lies in a straightforward brightness.
So without overthinking the details, if you simply trace the melody honestly, you should be able to go for a high score!
