Karaoke songs that make it easy to score 100 points [for women]

With the rise of K-pop in recent years, the difficulty level of Japanese music has risen significantly.

In karaoke scoring—where pitch control is paramount, especially because melodies now tend to jump more drastically—there seem to be far fewer songs with which you can realistically aim for a perfect 100.

So this time, we’ve selected easy-to-sing tracks, focusing on recent releases, that you can target for a 100! We’ve also included concrete technique explanations from a vocal coach, so be sure to read through to the end!

Ikimonogakari “Tokimeki” | Music Video [Pretty Cure 20th Anniversary Song / TV Anime ‘Power of Hope ~ Otona Precure ’23~’ Opening Theme]
flutter; thrill; a heart-pounding feelingikimonogakari

This is Ikimono-gakari’s 34th single, released in September 2023.

Produced as the 20th-anniversary song for the Pretty Cure series, it is used as the opening theme for NHK E-TV’s “Kibou no Chikara: Otona Precure ’23.” It’s an up-tempo number filled with a refreshing energy throughout, and the vocal melody is very pop, easy to sing, and easy to remember.

With this song, aiming for a high score at karaoke might not be just a dream.

Since it’s such a bright track, try singing by resonating your voice against the roof of your mouth.

You’ll likely be able to sing with a bright and breezy tone like the original.

Princess Princess 'Diamonds <Diamond>'
DiamondPurinsesu Purinsesu

This is the seventh single by the Japanese girls’ rock band Princess Princess, released in April 1989.

It’s also known as the band’s first song to break into the top 10 of the Oricon charts, and a major hit.

The vocal melody and lyrics are very poppy and approachable, making it easy to hum along to, which I think helped it become such a big hit.

It’s a very bright and fun track, but it also features a bouncy, slightly Motown-style rhythm that really stands out, so be careful not to let the rhythm get too flat when you sing it.

Personally, I’d love for you to just forget about scores and sing it freely for fun!

ALL I WANTHirate Yurina

Yurina Hirate, who garnered widespread support as the center of Keyakizaka46, is now thriving as a solo artist, delivering hits with a stylish yet catchy musical style.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is ALL I WANT.

This piece, complemented by a downbeat aesthetic, features a calm vocal line.

Not only are the pitch movements gentle, but the overall range is narrow as well, making it an ideal choice if you’re aiming for a perfect score.

The work “Hatsu KO Kachi,” a collaboration between Ringo Sheena and Perfume member Nocchi, incorporates the kayōkyoku-style melodies that Ringo Sheena excels at.

Despite its nostalgic yet stylish atmosphere, the vocal line is surprisingly simple.

Its vocal phrasing is close to traditional kayōkyoku, something familiar to virtually any Japanese listener.

The range isn’t wide, and there are no complex techniques like riffs or shouts, making it an ideal song for aiming at a perfect score.

Swampiri

Among contemporary female singers, iri stands out for her strikingly cool low register.

Because her music is rooted in R&B, most of her songs are quite challenging.

However, Swamp is different.

Although it’s her new track, it incorporates a touch of alternative rock and features a vocal line that’s easy to sing throughout.

On top of that, the range is narrow and there are no long sustained notes, so it’s no exaggeration to say that this is one of the easiest iri songs to sing.

dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo

This is Yo Hitoto’s fifth single, released on February 11, 2004.

Since Yo Hitoto herself performs the song with remarkable expressive power, many people may think, “Can you really aim for a perfect score with this song?” However, the vocal melody itself is relatively easy to remember and hum along to.

So while it’s a slightly advanced choice, I’d like to encourage you to aim for that 100.

It might be a good idea to study her distinctive phrasing and stylistic nuances before you sing.

This is Miyuki Nakajima’s 48th single, released in September 2023.

It was written as the theme song for the animated film “Alice to Therese no Maboroshi Kōjō” (English title: “Alice and Therese’s Illusory Factory”).

Although Miyuki Nakajima has had a long career as a singer, this is reportedly the first time she has worked on an anime song.

Set against a wonderful slow-tempo backing track with a majestic atmosphere, the song lets you fully enjoy Nakajima’s richly expressive vocals.

Despite that, the vocal melody itself is very straightforward and simple, and the range used isn’t very wide, so it should be easy for many people to sing—and I feel it makes it easier to aim for a perfect 100 at karaoke.

The most important aspect when performing this song is how you handle the timing and spacing between phrases.

Study the original carefully, make good use of the rests, and go for that perfect 100!
