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] (151–160)

MPurinsesu Purinsesu

Princess Princess’s classic song “M” is likely one everyone has heard.

But in fact, it was never released as an A-side single.

Its first release was as the fourth track on side B of the band’s third album, “Let’s Get Crazy,” and later it was also released as the B-side of their seventh single, “Diamonds.” Even so, it remains one of Puri-Puri’s signature songs with immense popularity, which says a lot about the track’s appeal.

The song is built around a very simple and straightforward vocal melody, so it should be relatively easy to aim for a perfect 100 at karaoke.

When you sing it, try to trace the original studio-recorded melody as precisely as possible.

I'm proudKahara Tomomi

This is Tomomi Kahara’s third single, released on March 6, 1996, produced by the one and only Tetsuya Komuro.

It came out amid an unprecedented J-pop boom when million-selling hits were dropping one after another—and this track also achieved million-seller status.

One key factor for a J-pop song to become a hit is how often it’s selected and sung at karaoke, and that tendency was especially strong in the ’90s when this song was released.

Perhaps reflecting that era, the melody is very catchy and easy to remember.

While there are quite a few high notes, if you can get through those, scoring a perfect 100 isn’t just a dream—so give it a try.

Rather than overthinking it, lightly humming it as you sing might actually be the shortcut to a high score.

This was the legendary female trio Candies’ final single, released on February 25, 1978.

Befitting a song that closes out the group’s career, it’s striking how the lyrics are sprinkled throughout with titles of their past hits.

Many ’70s hits are easy to sing and great for karaoke, and this song is no exception—its melody is catchy and very singable.

With this one, scoring a perfect 100 might not be just a dream.

That said, speaking personally, I’d rather you forget about the score and have fun imitating the choreography! And if you can sing it as a trio and even recreate the harmonies, that would be the best.

AlgernonYorushika

This is Yorushika’s 15th digital-only single, released in February 2023.

It’s a slow-tempo song with a relatively narrow vocal range in the melody, making it very easy to sing and a great choice for aiming for a perfect score.

Be careful not to let your singing rush ahead of the backing track.

When you sing, try placing your voice against the upper palate; it will bring out more high-frequency overtones and make it sound even better—give it a try!

Sailor Suit and Machine GunYakushimaru Hiroko

It was Hiroko Yakushimaru’s debut single, released on November 21, 1981.

It’s the theme song for her film of the same title.

Apparently, the song was originally titled “Yume no Tochū” (In the Midst of a Dream), and later the composer Takao Kisugi released a self-cover under that original title.

Like the other songs introduced under this theme, it features a very simple, beautiful, and easy-to-remember melody, making it an ideal choice as material for aiming for a perfect 100 in karaoke.

Yakushimaru’s vocal delivery is also very straightforward and free of affectations, which makes it easier to imitate in that sense.

In fact, a somewhat flat, understated delivery might be the kind that can earn higher scores.

CAN YOU CELEBRATE?Amuro Namie

Namie Amuro’s ninth solo single in total, released in February 1997.

It was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.

drama “Virgin Road,” and also featured in a Maxell MD commercial.

The song was written, composed, and produced by Tetsuya Komuro.

The vocal melody itself is very straightforward, easy to sing, and easy to remember, but you should watch out for the slightly unique rhythmic phrasing and the subtle differences in the way the first and second choruses are sung.

There are also many instances of vibrato, especially on the long notes, so be sure to listen closely to the original and study it before singing.

Master these points, and scoring a perfect 100 might not just be a dream with this song!

MoonPerfume

This is Perfume’s 28th single, released in September 2023.

It was selected as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Wednesday drama “Barakamon.” The vocal melody is very simple and the range used isn’t wide at all, so if you choose this song at karaoke and aim for a high score, the most important thing is to focus on singing while maintaining precise rhythm and beat.

Try singing while clearly feeling the accents of the so-called four-on-the-floor beat.
