[For Women in Their 30s] Aim for a High Score at Karaoke!

Have you ever wanted to aim for a high score at karaoke but weren’t sure which songs to choose? If the vocal range is too wide or the rhythm is complex, your score might not go up as much as you’d like.

In fact, just picking songs with more falls (slide-down notes) or a stable melody line can make it much easier to score well.

This time, I’ll introduce tracks that are easy to sing and work well with scoring systems.

I’m from the same generation too, so I’ve picked especially popular songs! Find a track that suits your voice and enjoy your next karaoke session even more!

[For Women in Their 30s] Aim for High Scores at Karaoke! (41–50)

A flower blooming in joyACO

ACO is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity with a trip-hop-centered musical style.

Many women in their 30s may have discovered her through her guest appearance on Dragon Ash’s classic track “Grateful Days.” Among ACO’s songs, a particularly recommended one is “Yorokobi ni Saku Hana” (“A Flower Blooming in Joy”).

While the vocal delivery is sentimental, the melody line is surprisingly even and understated, with a fairly narrow range, making it easy to sing for people with various vocal types.

Be sure to check it out.

Dreams Come Ture/LAT,43˚ N 〜Forty-three degrees north latitude〜
LAT,43˚ N 〜Forty-three degrees north latitude〜DREAMS COME TRUE

One of the most popular musical duos among women in their 30s, DREAMS COME TRUE has created many classic songs.

However, because they also have many high-difficulty tracks, it can be hard to add their songs to your repertoire.

That’s why I recommend “LAT, 43˚ N — Forty-three degrees north latitude.” For a DCT song, the vocal range is quite narrow, and there aren’t any complex vocal lines.

There are relatively few spots to breathe, so just be mindful of that when you sing.

The Ten CommandmentsAdo

When you think of Ado, her shouts in the mid-to-high range and the expressive high notes probably come to mind, right? While those aspects are certainly part of her appeal, her lower register actually holds a great deal of charm as well.

In her cover of Akina Nakamori’s classic “Jukkai (The Ten Commandments),” you can fully savor Ado’s rich low tones.

Since it’s an older song, the vocal line is very straightforward.

That simplicity leaves little room for the kinds of tricks you find in modern pop, but it also makes it easy to follow the pitch—so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Singer-songwriter Hana Sekitori has gained popularity for her deeply affecting musicality.

Her voice is perfectly described as rounded and warm, and you can always hear the emotion in her slightly lower-range vocals.

Among her songs, the one especially recommended for women with lower voices is “Warukunai” (“Not Bad”).

Reminiscent of Miyuki Nakajima’s style, it features richly resonant mid-to-low phrases throughout every section, from the verse to the chorus.

The vocal line is very simple, making it an easy song to sing as well.

Ai Otsuka’s classic song “Amaenbo.” While Ai Otsuka has many unique tracks, this one is arranged as a particularly orthodox J-pop number among her works.

As a result, you won’t find vocal lines that require the complex pitch movements typical of modern songs.

The vocal range is about average, and since there aren’t especially high phrases in any section, there should be no vocal strain if you sing it in an appropriate key.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Kaela Kimura is a female singer-songwriter who remains popular today.

She has many great songs, but the one I especially recommend for aiming at a high score is “happiness!!!.” It’s known as a classic from her early career.

While it contains quite a few slightly high phrases, there are almost no long sustained notes, so if you sing it in an appropriate key, you shouldn’t have trouble with the high range.

There are some English lyrics sprinkled in, but the vocal line itself is simple, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Ayumi Hamasaki / STEP you (Short Ver.)
STEP youHamasaki Ayumi

Ayumi Hamasaki’s classic “STEP you” carries an atmosphere reminiscent of gothic rock.

The world it creates—born from its sharp synths and melodies with a dark pop/gothic rock vibe—is truly breathtaking.

Interestingly, despite those melodies, the vocal line is surprisingly straightforward.

The verses sit a bit low, but the chorus doesn’t push the intensity either, so the overall range is narrow, with well-placed rests throughout.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
