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)
First loveFlower
A track from the first album “Flower” by the five-member female dance and vocal group Flower, released in January 2014.
Some people might hold the stereotype that for Japanese female dance and vocal groups, the singing is merely an add-on and doesn’t require much vocal ability.
However, that’s not the case with Flower.
Their vocal skills are quite high.
That said, this song is a slow ballad.
If you follow the melody carefully and sing with emotion, a high score is within reach.
Be sure to incorporate falsetto and deliver it gently.

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.
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!
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!
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.
KanadeJUJU
The original song was released as Sukima Switch’s second single in March 2004, and the version I’m introducing here is a cover by the female singer JUJU.
It was released as a single in September 2020.
Since the original is a relatively simple, folk-tinged song with an easy-to-understand melody, I think you can expect to score high if you sing it at karaoke.
That said, because JUJU is known for her strong vocal abilities, her version features some sections with challenging vocal techniques, which could be a stumbling block.
If that worries you, using Sukima Switch’s original backing track to sing might be a good strategy for a higher score.
Jewelry KissAina ji Endo
Aina the End’s new song “Jewelry Kiss.” Aina the End is often mentioned as an artist with exceptional vocal ability, but this piece is among the easier ones in her catalog, so you can comfortably aim for a high score.
In particular, the vocal range is the easiest point: every part sits within a range that most women can sing without difficulty.
Additionally, it doesn’t include challenging techniques like vocal runs or shouts, so it’s well worth adding to your repertoire.
