Karaoke songs that make it easy for women to score high
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 highly on (71–80)
Genesis of AquarionAKINO
AKINO from bless4’s first single, released in April 2005.
The title says it all, so no explanation needed: it’s the theme song of the anime with the same name.
Now, you might wonder why I’m introducing it as a song that’s relatively easy to score high with at karaoke, but despite being in the recent anisong style, it actually has a lot of sections with big pitch jumps and can be quite tough to sing.
Pay special attention to the sudden high note at the end of the A verse, right before it moves into the B verse.
The chorus melody is also relatively challenging, but since it’s from a popular anime, many of you are probably familiar with it.
If you memorize it well and sing confidently, you should be fine.
Go for that high score!
Love PhotosAi Otsuka
It’s Ai Otsuka’s 13th single, released in 2006.
Overall, there aren’t many variations in the phrases, and the same melodic lines repeat, so if you nail the key parts, it should be easy to score high.
You...Kana Nishino
Kana Nishino’s 12th single, released in November 2010.
It’s crafted as a ballad with a fairly grand arrangement.
When you hear “grand ballad,” many people might imagine it requires powerhouse vocals to belt it out, but since this song was made specifically for Kana Nishino, it’s designed to let her cute, charming vocal style shine.
That said, there are some high notes in the chorus that use falsetto (head voice), so you’ll need to handle the switch in vocal placement there smoothly.

summer festivalWhiteberry
Originally famous as a song by JITTERIN’JINN, it regained popularity when Whiteberry covered it in 2000.
With its easy-to-remember melody and structure consisting of just two patterns—the chorus and the verse—you should be able to score well as long as you keep up with the rhythm.
to clear up (weather)Yorushika
Yorushika is a musical unit that enjoys overwhelming support from today’s youth.
With a wide range of songs—from soft J-pop to J-pop infused with rock elements—they’re always at the forefront of the scene.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend for women is Haru.
While this piece leans a bit more toward rock, the overall vocal range isn’t that wide, making it a good fit for women with lower voices.
If the falsetto at the end of the chorus feels difficult, rather than lowering the key, I think raising the key to make the falsetto easier will help you aim for a higher score.
This is my way of life.PUFFY
This was the second single by the two-woman duo PUFFY, released in October 1996.
Following their smash-hit debut “Asia no Junshin,” the production was handled by Tamio Okuda.
However, whereas the previous work was a collaboration with Yosui Inoue, starting with this release Okuda served as the sole producer.
The track is characterized by a distinctly ’60s atmosphere and sound—featuring guitar phrases that seem like an homage to the Beatles’ “Day Tripper,” and even being recorded in mono.
PUFFY’s vocals, with their pleasantly laid-back, slightly nonchalant feel, match the song perfectly.
From a karaoke perspective, the song’s “looseness,” which can be considered part of its core concept, translates directly into ease of singing; as long as you can trace the melody with reasonable accuracy, scoring high shouldn’t be difficult.
A Midsummer Night's DreamYumi Matsutoya
This was Yumi Matsutoya’s 24th single, released in July 1993.
It was the theme song for the sequel to the hit drama “Zutto Anata ga Suki Datta,” which gained popularity with the buzz around the character Fuyuhiko; the sequel was titled “Dare ni mo Ienai.” At first listen, some might think it’s a difficult song to sing due to its slightly Latin-influenced arrangement, but the melody itself is very simple and straightforward, without requiring a wide vocal range.
So scoring high at karaoke shouldn’t be too hard.
In the original, over a light, Latin-style beat, the vocals are delivered with a slightly behind-the-beat feel, but to get a high score it’s better to sing with a more on-the-beat sense of timing rather than imitating that style.
Just be careful not to rush the rhythm.
