Karaoke songs that make it easy for women to score high

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

Karaoke systems with scoring features have been getting more and more sophisticated lately, and an increasing number now evaluate vocal techniques like vibrato and scooping.

However, the largest part of the scoring criteria is still the accuracy of melody and rhythm.

In this feature, we focus on those criteria and have compiled a selection of songs that are easy to sing and likely to score high, especially ones where it’s easy to follow the melody and rhythm.

When karaoke has a scoring function, you can’t help but want to go for a high score, whether you’re confident in your singing or not.

For each song, we’ve also included tips on how to earn a high score, so be sure to use them as a reference and aim for your best.

That said, the most important thing is to forget about the numbers and just sing freely and have fun the way you like!

Karaoke Songs That Are Easy for Women to Score High On (61–70)

Don't give upZARD

Don't give up (What a beautiful memory ~forever you~)

Don't Give Up, ZARD

ZARD’s sixth single, released in January 1993.

This song—and really, not just ZARD but many artists from the so-called “Being-kei” scene up through the early ’90s—are a goldmine of tracks you can sing at karaoke to rack up high scores! Back then, major labels put a huge emphasis on winning over users in the karaoke market, so J-pop from that era was crafted to be incredibly singable, easy to remember, and catchy.

ZARD in particular had, in a good way, a kind of “non-professional-sounding” vocal style that became a selling point, so anyone with a bit of singing experience should find it easy to aim for a high score.

Definitely give it a try!

The Story You Don't Knowsupercell

The Story You Don’t Know – supercell

The Story You Don’t Know — supercell

The creator team supercell’s first single was released in August 2009.

In addition to the very poppy, catchy melody, the vocalist on this track, nagi, sings in a very straightforward and sincere style, so it shouldn’t be too hard to score high when singing it at karaoke.

There aren’t many particularly difficult sections in the melodic development either, so as long as you learn the melody well, you should be fine.

If there’s any challenge, it’s probably singing those clear, expansive high tones as beautifully as the original.

High notes can be made easier with proper training since it’s relatively straightforward to extend your range, so this might be a good opportunity to take some vocal lessons.

Cutie HoneyKumi Koda

Kumi Koda / Cutie Honey

Cutie Honey Kumi Koda

Released in May 2004 as the lead track of Kumi Koda’s 11th maxi single, LOVE & HONEY.

It also served as the theme song for the live-action film Cutie Honey, in which she appeared.

As many of you may know, the original song is the theme from the popular 1970s anime Cutie Honey, and this is a cover.

Compared to the original, it features a slightly jazzy, stylish arrangement, but the easy-to-sing melody—so characteristic of Showa-era anime songs—remains intact.

It’s a song that anyone can aim for a high karaoke score with.

Channel your inner Kumi Koda and have fun singing it with sexy-cool flair!

NEW LOOK (Mix) / Namie Amuro

NEW LOOK Namie Amuro

Released as a single in 2008, it was used as the commercial song for P&G’s “Premium Vidal Sassoon.” Setting itself apart from her previous danceable tracks, Namie Amuro appears refreshingly new in 1970s mod fashion inspired by Twiggy.

With a narrow vocal range and no high notes even in the chorus, it’s an easy number to sing for women who can’t hit high pitches.
