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 That Make It Easy to Score 100 Points [For Women] (111–120)

Ref:rain -3 nuits ver.-Aimer

Ref:rain -3 nuits ver.-Aimer

Aimer is a female singer-songwriter known for her distinctive whispery voice.

Her wide-ranging musicality, from ballads to more intense pop, is impressive.

Among her songs, a highly recommended piece for scoring a perfect 100 is “Ref:rain -3 nuits ver.-.” This work is crafted as a gentle ballad, a style she excels at.

The vocal range is narrow and the tempo is slow, so you’re unlikely to miss pitches due to speed.

It also features a fair number of long notes, making it easier to earn extra points with techniques like vibrato, which is another appeal of this song.

Promise of RomanceIkuta Rira

This is the fourth digital-only single by Lila Ikuta, who is also active as a member of the music duo YOASOBI (performing under the name Ikura in the band), released on August 14, 2021.

The song’s acoustic transparency and simple sound are very appealing.

When singing it at karaoke, there aren’t many particularly difficult parts, but please pay close attention to the sections where you switch to falsetto.

Handling these smoothly is likely a key point in making the song sound good.

Also, be careful to keep your voice steady in the high notes sung in chest voice so it doesn’t get unruly.

Ai Tomioka is a female singer-songwriter who has caught the attention of Yuri as well.

She gained popularity through the 17Live newcomer audition and made her debut in 2022.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Aiwana.

While its sentimental lyrics are striking, the vocal line is surprisingly simple.

The range is on the narrower side, and there aren’t any sudden pitch jumps, making it perfect if you’re aiming for a perfect score.

Definitely give it a try.

Embraced by the wintry windKoizumi Kyoko

"Embraced by the Wintry Wind" Kyoko Koizumi (VINYL)
Embraced by the wintry windKoizumi Kyoko

This was Kyoko Koizumi’s 20th single, released on November 19, 1986.

The lyrics and composition are by Toshihiko Takamizawa of THE ALFEE.

While Takamizawa often writes songs for THE ALFEE that require very high vocals, this piece was presumably written specifically for Koizumi, so the vocal range used in the melody isn’t very wide.

The result is a very approachable, easy-to-remember melody, which I think makes it easier to aim for a perfect 100 in karaoke.

Later on, a self-cover version by THE ALFEE themselves was released, as well as covers by several other artists, so if you’re interested, try searching for them.

Those versions should also be helpful as references for your singing!

Answer keyJUJU

Answer keyJUJU

This is JUJU’s 41st single, released on November 10, 2021.

It’s been crafted into a pop track that makes great use of JUJU’s slightly cute vocal tone.

The vocal melody is very friendly and easy to hum throughout, so if you simply follow the melody straightforwardly, it should be more than possible to score a perfect 100.

Try to place your voice as much as possible against the upper palate; that will give you a sparkling tone rich in higher overtones, similar to hers—definitely give it a try! After the second chorus, in the D-melody section, also aim to sing as powerfully as you can.

Open your heartZARD

Open your heartZARD

This is ZARD’s 18th single overall, released in May 1996.

At the time, it was also used as the theme song for Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Pocari Sweat commercial.

It’s a medium-tempo track where Izumi Sakai’s simple, heartfelt vocals resonate with a touch of sadness, yet the vocal melody is crafted to be very memorable and easy to sing.

With this, many people could probably aim for a perfect 100 at karaoke.

Not limited to this song, 90s J-pop—especially ZARD’s catalog—is a treasure trove of songs that are easy to sing and great for scoring high at karaoke.

If you’re interested, try searching around; you’re sure to find a new favorite!

Actually…Nogizaka 46

This song, with Aruno Nakanishi as center, was released in 2022 as the group’s 29th single.

It’s an upbeat, catchy track, but the vocal melody is built from relatively relaxed, expansive phrases, making it fairly easy to sing at karaoke—and realistically a song where you can aim for a perfect 100.

When performing it, I feel it’s important to create a clear contrast between the strength of your voice in the chorus and in the other sections.

Keep that in mind as you sing.

That said, if you push too hard and belt in the chorus, you could ruin the song’s vibe, so always aim for a gentle, controlled vocal delivery.
