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 high on (1–10)
User ManualKana Nishino
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!
ORIONMika Nakashima
It’s Mika Nakashima’s 27th single, released in November 2008.
It’s a very simple ballad, so if you sing each note carefully, I think it’s relatively easy to score high at karaoke.
Rather than focusing on “singing well,” aim for a natural delivery and you’ll likely get a good score.
If there’s a tricky part, it would be the switch to falsetto at the end of the chorus.
Practice making the transition between chest voice and falsetto sound natural.
May it be filled with kindnessJUJU
Released in February 2009 as JUJU’s ninth single.
It’s a rock ballad with a beautiful, very memorable melody that’s easy to pick up, so if you’re reasonably confident in your singing, it’s a song where you can definitely aim for a high score.
In the intro A-melody, there’s a line that uses a lot of chromatic (semitone) movement, so be careful not to let the pitch get vague there.
Also, if you sing with a clear contrast in dynamics between the chorus and the other sections, it will sound even better.
However, even in the stronger parts, make sure it doesn’t turn into singing “by brute force.” Skillfully using a stronger mixed voice seems to be the key to making it sound good.
Karaoke Songs Easy to Score High on for Women (11–20)
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!
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.
Love isMiliyah Kato
This is Miliyah Kato’s 10th single, released in June 2007.
At first listen, many people might feel it seems quite difficult to sing, but the underlying chord progression is the classic “canon progression” often used in ballads—in fact, the arrangement is more like placing a vocal line over Pachelbel’s Canon.
So if you tackle it without hesitation, you should be fine.
When you reach the high notes near the end of the chorus, be mindful not to let the falsetto burst out too sharply; try to sing as gently as possible and give it a go.
Cosmic TreatPerfume
Perfume is a dance-vocal group that has remained at the forefront for many years.
Their new track, “Cosmic Treat,” is a playful number that starts with an intro reminiscent of 16-bit game sounds and unfolds into a city-pop-style tune.
The vocal line is very simple, with no sharp rises or drops in pitch and a relatively narrow range.
Since the long tones aren’t particularly long either, anyone who can hold their pitch accurately should be able to aim for a high score without much difficulty.
