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)
SunYorushika
Yorushika is a popular duo known for their wide-ranging musicality.
They can make any style their own, but the one that shines most is arguably their ennui-tinged sound.
Their song “Taiyo” (Sun) is a work where you can fully savor that moody aesthetic.
What makes this track especially easy to sing is its narrow vocal range.
In addition to sitting in a register anyone can comfortably produce, the vocal line has few ups and downs, making it an ideal choice for aiming at a high score.
DESIREAkina Nakamori
It’s Akina Nakamori’s 14th single, released in February 1986.
Showa-era J-pop often features straightforward melodies, and this song is no exception.
It’s also a track that’s relatively easy to score high on in karaoke.
However, there are many low-pitched parts, so be sure to project properly so your voice doesn’t get buried.
If you can produce a slightly gritty, weighty low tone like Akina Nakamori’s, that would be perfect!
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!
Karaoke Songs Easy to Score High on for Women (11–20)
cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit)Ai Otsuka
Ai Otsuka’s second single, released in December 2003.
It was selected as the opening theme for the music program COUNT DOWN TV for December 2003, and later used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s variety show Mecha-Mecha Iketeru! in 2004.
Musically, it’s a quintessential 2000s girls’ pop track, featuring a light, upbeat rhythm with a poppy, simple, and accessible melody, making it very easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s an ideal choice if you’re aiming for a high karaoke score.
Sing it brightly, with energy, and have fun!
TomorrowFurui Riho
Singer-songwriter Furui Riho, who has gained popularity for her R&B-centered musical style.
When people hear R&B, many imagine it as difficult because advanced vocal techniques like melisma and falls appear frequently as if they were standard features.
That’s why I recommend Tomorrow.
This song has a very strong J-pop influence and doesn’t feature any tricky melismas at all.
On top of that, the vocal range is narrow, making it a perfect choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
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.
White LoveSPEED
This is SPEED’s fifth single, released in October 1997.
It was a massive hit, selling a total of 2 million copies.
True to the 90s J-pop classics, where being popular at karaoke was practically essential for a hit, it features a very easy-to-remember and singable melody.
The Japanese lyrics fit the music beautifully as well, so if you sing it carefully, it should be relatively easy to score high.
And if you can nail those high notes head-on without switching to falsetto and let them soar straight through, that’s the best!
