For women (ages 11–20)
SoupFujihara Sakura
Sakura Fujiwara, a singer-songwriter who played the heroine in the 2016 TV drama “Love Song” starring Masaharu Fukuyama.
This was her debut single and also the drama’s theme song.
Imitating her distinctive vocal phrasing might be challenging, but the required vocal range isn’t that wide, and if you learn the melody well before performing, you should be able to aim for a high score.
User ManualNishino Kana
Kana Nishino’s 27th single, released in September 2015.
It was also the theme song for the film “No Longer Heroine.” By now, it’s probably become one of the standard songs sung at weddings.
I bet many people have performed it as entertainment at friends’ wedding receptions, too.
It’s a super cute melody that really makes the most of Kana Nishino’s persona—she’s never claimed to be a so-called “powerhouse” vocalist—so it’s exceptionally easy to sing even at karaoke.
If your delivery gets too heavy, it can spoil the vibe, so try to keep it light, bright, and cute throughout! That said, if you’re confident in your singing, it could also be fun to lean into your vocal ability and really show it off.
Precisely because the melody is simple, there are lots of ways to enjoy the song beyond just aiming for a high score!
For women (21–30)
The Future Projection IIDREAMS COME TRUE
This is a song included as the 10th and final track on Dreams Come True (DREAMS COME TRUE/Dorikamu)’s second album, “LOVE GOES ON…,” released in 1989.
Although it was not released as a single, it is considered one of DCT’s signature songs.
Miwa Yoshida of DCT is often praised as a highly skilled vocalist, and some people might think, “Can you really aim for a high score with a DCT song?” But fear not! This song has a very straightforward melody, the pitch is easy to catch, and the vocal range used is set so that most women can sing it without strain.
If the original key is tough, transposing the key should easily solve the problem.
Since Miwa Yoshida’s singing style is quite distinctive, I’d say—speaking with a vocal director’s mindset—“Don’t try to imitate her exactly!” However, if you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke, it’s better to carefully study how she uses dynamics and phrasing in her performance.
Try EverythingDream Ami
“Try Everything” is the theme song for the Japanese version of Disney’s animated film Zootopia, while the original version is sung by Shakira.
The Japanese version was released in April 2016 as Dream Ami’s second single.
As befits a Disney anime theme, it has a bright and very cute melody, making it easy to learn for karaoke and a good choice for aiming at a high score.
If you can produce clear, resonant high notes with the same transparency as Dream Ami herself, it’ll be perfect.
Be careful not to let your voice crack on the high notes.
Marigoldaimyon
It’s Aimyon’s fifth single, released in August 2018.
Some women may find the low notes a bit challenging to sing, but if you can get past that, you should be able to aim for a high score with this song.
Also, the way the lyrics fit the melody is quite unique, so you may need to memorize where to breathe and sing accordingly.
Staying faithful to the original—such as how the rests are placed—is also key to getting a high score, so be sure to learn that well.
And don’t forget to sing the high notes with power!
In conclusion
To score high in karaoke, rhythm and pitch are more important than anything else. In live vocals, even dropping a semitone can be accepted as a stylistic choice, but in karaoke scoring it will lead to a big deduction. If you’re aiming for a high score, listen to the song thoroughly and drill the vocal line into your head. With the rise of Western pop and K-pop, there are more high-difficulty songs these days, but at the same time, there are also more songs where it’s easier to fudge mistakes.
