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 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!
Time goes byEvery Little Thing
Every Little Thing’s 8th single, released in February 1998.
It’s ELT’s biggest hit and even became a million seller.
As of 2019, many people who were in their 30s back then probably sang this often at karaoke.
This reflects how popularity in the karaoke market had a major impact on sales at the time.
The song has a very straightforward, easy-to-sing melodic progression, so it shouldn’t be too hard to score high with it.
Since it’s a medium-slow, ballad-like track, focus on cherishing each word of the lyrics and singing carefully—aim 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.
SoupSakura Fujiwara
Sakura Fujiwara, a singer-songwriter who played the heroine in the 2016 TV drama “Love Song” starring Masaharu Fukuyama.
This was her debut single and also the drama’s theme song.
Imitating her distinctive vocal phrasing might be challenging, but the required vocal range isn’t that wide, and if you learn the melody well before performing, you should be able to aim for a high score.
ChangeAtarashii Gakko no Leaders
With their edgy musicality and performance, the idol group ATARASHII GAKKO! has earned high acclaim not only in Japan but also overseas.
Known for their distinctive blend of hip-hop and kayōkyoku, that signature sound is alive and well in this work too.
In particular, this piece has a narrow vocal range, and there are no high notes in either the rap or the singing parts.
Instead, elements like rap flow are essential, making it recommended for those with a good sense of groove.
Give it a try!
Try EverythingDream Ami
“Try Everything” is the theme song for the Japanese version of Disney’s animated film Zootopia, while the original version is sung by Shakira.
The Japanese version was released in April 2016 as Dream Ami’s second single.
As befits a Disney anime theme, it has a bright and very cute melody, making it easy to learn for karaoke and a good choice for aiming at a high score.
If you can produce clear, resonant high notes with the same transparency as Dream Ami herself, it’ll be perfect.
Be careful not to let your voice crack on the high notes.
Karaoke songs that are easy for women to score high on (21–30)
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.
