Songs that make you sound good at karaoke

One thing I want to ask youSHISHAMO

SHISHAMO "One Thing I Want to Ask You"

This song has a relaxed groove that’s easy to catch, and I’ve heard the average karaoke score is in the low-to-mid 90s, so I think it’s a song where it’s relatively easy to score well! In the first verse, there are spots where the pitch jumps higher—don’t hesitate, project your voice clearly into the mic.

The chorus has a unique rhythm, so be precise: make clean cuts where needed and keep the timing accurate instead of letting it all flow together.

Also, adding clear dynamics throughout the song boosts your expressiveness score, which can really raise your overall points.

Try focusing on each point one by one and give it a shot!

Feverish Demonzutto mayonaka de ii no ni.

ZUTOMAYO (Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.) “Warmth Fever Demon” MV (ZUTOMAYO – Warmthaholic)

The vocal range is A#3 to E5, and the song is generally on the higher side, but if you basically sing gently with a falsetto-like tone, it should be easier to hit the pitches and you might even aim for a perfect score! If you use only falsetto you might get wobbly and tired, so be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing and core support to keep your voice steady.

The rap-like part before the chorus might not even have a pitch bar, but it’s a cool section, so enjoy singing it while riding the rhythm! It’s a bit of a fast song, so don’t forget to breathe, and do your best with the falsetto!

Blooming at nightHoshimachi Suisei

Blooming at night

As of June 2025, the average score on JOYSOUND karaoke scoring seems to be around 90.35, giving the impression that the average is on the higher side.

Indeed, among Hoshimachi Suisei’s songs, this one doesn’t have an especially high range and is fairly compact, so it’s easier to hit the pitches compared to her other tracks.

Also, the rhythm is very easy to grasp, so once you learn it, it’s a song that’s easy to sing! If you sing while clearly keeping a 4/4 beat, your timing will match more easily and you’ll line up with the pitch bar perfectly.

Once you’re comfortable, it might be a good idea to add techniques like vibrato!

Aimyon – You Don’t Listen to Rock [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Aimyon’s hit song “Kimi wa Rock nanka Kikanai” (“You Don’t Listen to Rock”).

While the track’s arrangement strikingly blends rock and folk elements, the vocal line itself is crafted as orthodox J-pop.

Even so, its melody somehow conveys a sense of strength.

That quality makes the song easier to make sound good.

If you want to impress at karaoke, try raising the key by one or two steps and add a bit of a shout in the chorus.

That will emphasize the power even more.

Rainy HighwayNagie Lane

Nagie Lane – Rainy Highway [Lyric Video]

Nagie Lane is a vocal unit known for a music style centered on city pop.

They embody classic Japanese city pop in a straightforward way, and their appeal lies in a clean, unfussy performance.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Rainy Highway.

It’s sung across the mid-low to high registers, and the chorus features a fairly high falsetto.

Due to the structure of the vocal lines, you can’t rely on breaths or tricks to get by, so it’s a song that truly demands solid vocal ability.
