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!

Karaoke Songs Easy to Score 100 Points [For Women] (71–80)

AKB48 is an idol group that has continued to enjoy popularity for many years.

Since they’re still topping the charts, I believe they’re widely recognized by women across a broad age range, from their teens to their thirties.

Among AKB48’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Koi Tsun Jatta (Love, Checkmated).

While the track features intense, rock-style instrumentation, the vocal line is surprisingly calm.

The range is fairly standard, so as long as you watch out for the key change in the bridge, anyone can sing it with ease.

This is Yorushika’s 15th single overall (13th as a digital release), released in May 2023.

It was written as the opening theme for the TV anime “The Dangers in My Heart.” To sing this song well, the key points are: how carefully and clearly you can deliver the low notes that are used frequently outside the chorus, and whether you can keep up with the comparatively wide interval leaps in the chorus melody.

If you can clear those hurdles, the melody itself isn’t particularly complex, so if you’re aiming for a perfect 100 in karaoke, you should be able to handle it with solid practice.

Be sure to create a clear contrast between the legato passages and the more crisp, articulate sections.

It’s a bit of an advanced pick, but if you’re confident in your singing, definitely try for that perfect 100!

AKB48’s 32nd single, released in August 2013.

Incidentally, Rino Sashihara served as the center for this track.

It’s a quintessential example of a Heisei-era idol song—very catchy and approachable—and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a treasure trove of tips for aiming for a perfect 100 in karaoke.

Just be careful not to speed up or slow down the tempo, and go for that 100!

Chiaki Mayumura is a singer-songwriter who thrives on variety shows and as a businessperson.

She’s an artist who showcases her talent across a wide range of fields.

Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend as an easy pick for scoring a perfect 100 is “Roka” (“Filtration”).

This track features a vocal line that leans somewhat toward spoken delivery.

If you’re used to standard Japanese, you might actually find it easier to match pitch in these parts.

The chorus does include high notes, but since the tempo is slow, I think it’s still easy to stay on pitch.

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.

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu – Put On False Eyelashes
Apply false eyelasheskyarī pamyu pamyu

This is Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s 1st single, released in January 2012.

It’s a textbook example of the so-called Yasutaka sound, with a heavy use of the pitch-correction effect AUTO-TUNE, which producer Yasutaka Nakata excels at.

Reproducing this in live karaoke singing might be quite challenging.

However, perhaps to make effective use of AUTO-TUNE, the melody itself is very straightforward and simple, so if you’re aiming for a perfect score, pay close attention to pitch accuracy and definitely give it a try.

It’s a super fun song, so it’s also totally fine to forget the details and just have fun singing!
