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)

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.

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.

Love & PopHaze

Haze is a girls’ band that’s rapidly gaining momentum right now.

The vocalist, Kathi, is a former member of the popular idol group Zoc, and she’s known for a vocal tone and style reminiscent of Aina the End.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Love & Pop.

It’s unmistakably a rock track, but the vocal line itself is calm, and the range is quite compact.

It features the hiccup technique, so as long as you can handle that part, it’s a song anyone can aim for a high score with.

Fiancé-kkyunano

Ano-chan, who’s in high demand on TV, is also thriving as the artist ano, producing many hit numbers.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is “Fiancée-kkun.” It might sound like a high-pitched song, but the vocal range isn’t particularly wide.

While the melody has a Chinese pop feel, the vocal line itself is relatively simple with a slightly rock-like touch.

So as long as you’ve solidly internalized the pitch, anyone should be able to aim for a high score.

Aina The End – Jewelry Kiss [Lyric Video]
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.

Last Lamp is an all-female band that single-mindedly sings classic J-pop.

Formed with the concept of spreading the charm of good old J-pop to a wider audience, their songs feature catchy vocal lines that anyone can sing along to.

Among them, Love Letter stands out with its quintessentially Japanese chord progression and melody that most people in Japan will have heard at least once.

If you can keep your pitch reasonably on target, anyone can aim for a high score with this one.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Mint Cherry CakeToki Asako

Asako Toki / “Mint Cherry Cake” Lyric Video
Mint Cherry CakeToki Asako

Asako Toki is a female singer-songwriter and the daughter of jazz saxophonist Hideshi Toki.

Known for her high sense of musicality, she has released numerous masterpieces that transcend genre.

Among them, a track I especially recommend is Mint Cherry Cake.

It has a slightly city pop feel, with a vocal line that stays within a narrow range and maintains relatively even dynamics throughout.

Unlike old-school city pop, it doesn’t feature extended sustained notes, so rather than aiming for extra points with vibrato, this is a song where you can score high by focusing on precise pitch control.
