Recommended ballads for women (31–40)
filamentUru
Uru’s “Filament” gives the impression that the opening pitch of each phrase starts low.
To avoid mismatching timing and pitch, it’s important to nail those openings cleanly.
If you start your voice just a touch earlier, the low notes will align more easily with the pitch bar.
Overall, it’s a breathy song in Uru’s style, but when aiming for a high score, either sing in the voice that’s easiest for you and lock in the pitch firmly, or if you want to sing in Uru’s style, keep the image of starting your voice slightly early to help match the pitch bar.
For the chorus, singing gently with a falsetto base should also make it easier to hit 100 points!
Capsuleaiko
Among aiko’s songs, this one doesn’t go very high in pitch and is easier to sing compared to others, so it’s a good choice for aiming for a perfect 100! It’s a relatively relaxed tempo, so instead of singing each phrase in one breath, make sure to take solid breaths between phrases.
Also, since the arrangement builds up gradually toward the latter half of the chorus, keeping your voice firmly on the mic will likely earn you extra points for expressiveness.
Overall, I recommend singing with steady, unwavering tone throughout.
Strangerstuki.
The A and B verses sit around F#3 and are quite low, but if you can get through that part, the rest is in a key that should be comfortable for many female singers, so it’s easier to keep pitch and aim for a perfect score.
According to records from June 2025, the average JOYSOUND karaoke scoring for this song is about 90.51.
I think the key to scoring 90 or above is stability in the low notes! Be mindful not to let your pitch drop too much on the low notes that come after the A, B, and bridge sections.
For the chorus, singing with clear accents makes it easier to lock into the rhythm, so that might work well!
Unfit to be a loverKoresawa
A song that Koresawa self-covered after originally providing it to Miyuhan.
It was created as an answer song to Koresawa’s track “Tabako.” The lyrics portray the feelings of the protagonist’s lover from “Tabako.” When singing at karaoke, it’s great to perform both “Tabako” and this “Koibito Shikkaku”! Also pay attention to the lyrics that reveal the meaning behind the title “Koibito Shikkaku” (Disqualified as a Lover).
the best in the worldInoue Sonoko
Sonoko Inoue’s “Sekai de Ichiban” is a romance song from a woman’s perspective that promises eternal love—also a popular choice as a wedding song.
Its letter-like lyrics to a loved one express the desire to stay together from now on, even if you fight or have things you dislike, because she still loves you.
As a man, wouldn’t you be happy if your girlfriend sang this to you? Highly recommended for women who want to propose! The music video, which portrays a couple overcoming miscommunication to find happiness, is also uplifting and worth watching.
