Karaoke songs that make it easy to score 100 points [for women]

Are you serious? (Prod. Chaki Zulu)Awich

Awich – Are you serious? (Prod. Chaki Zulu) / The Queen of Villains: Ruthless Queen

Unlike 10–20 years ago, we’re now in an era where it’s totally normal to sing hip-hop at karaoke.

Especially for female heads, don’t you want to score a perfect 100 with your rap? For those people, I highly recommend ‘Are you serious? (Prod.

Chaki Zulu).

’ It’s a new track from Awich that weaves elements of classical music into the beat.

It’s a very dope piece, but the flow itself sits somewhere between old-school and mid-school, making it feel approachable.

Ikimonogakari “Tokimeki” | Music Video [Pretty Cure 20th Anniversary Song / TV Anime ‘Power of Hope ~ Otona Precure ’23~’ Opening Theme]

This is Ikimono-gakari’s 34th single, released in September 2023.

Produced as the 20th-anniversary song for the Pretty Cure series, it is used as the opening theme for NHK E-TV’s “Kibou no Chikara: Otona Precure ’23.” It’s an up-tempo number filled with a refreshing energy throughout, and the vocal melody is very pop, easy to sing, and easy to remember.

With this song, aiming for a high score at karaoke might not be just a dream.

Since it’s such a bright track, try singing by resonating your voice against the roof of your mouth.

You’ll likely be able to sing with a bright and breezy tone like the original.

Absolute Sixth SenseHinatazaka46

Hinatazaka46 “Absolute Sixth Sense”

Hinatazaka46 is an idol group that’s gained popularity thanks to its uniquely individual members.

Although turnover is frequent in the Sakamichi-series groups, Hinatazaka has relatively low member turnover, and many of the original members are still active on the front lines.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Zettaiteki Dairokkankan (Absolute Sixth Sense).

Because it has a slightly Latin flavor, it might seem difficult to sing, but the vocal range in this track is set quite narrowly.

There’s no need to belt and there are no long sustained notes, so as long as you can stay on pitch, it’s a song where anyone can aim for a perfect score.

A band that has garnered overwhelming support from women in their teens and twenties with its catchy musicality, Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.

In this work, the A and B sections are composed of rap.

Because of that, the only challenging part is the chorus; even then, it merely leans slightly toward higher notes, and the chorus itself doesn’t have a wide vocal range.

The rap uses a simple, conversational flow, so if you can match pitch, you can easily aim for a perfect score.

However, since the rap is in a conversational style, women living in prefectures with strong local dialects may struggle with the A and B sections.

Setting SunYorushika

YOASOBI – Setting Sun (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

This is Yorushika’s 15th single overall (13th as a digital release), released in May 2023.

It was written as the opening theme for the TV anime “The Dangers in My Heart.” To sing this song well, the key points are: how carefully and clearly you can deliver the low notes that are used frequently outside the chorus, and whether you can keep up with the comparatively wide interval leaps in the chorus melody.

If you can clear those hurdles, the melody itself isn’t particularly complex, so if you’re aiming for a perfect 100 in karaoke, you should be able to handle it with solid practice.

Be sure to create a clear contrast between the legato passages and the more crisp, articulate sections.

It’s a bit of an advanced pick, but if you’re confident in your singing, definitely try for that perfect 100!

Miyuki Nakajima “Heartbeat” Music Video (Full ver.) [Official]

This is Miyuki Nakajima’s 48th single, released in September 2023.

It was written as the theme song for the animated film “Alice to Therese no Maboroshi Kōjō” (English title: “Alice and Therese’s Illusory Factory”).

Although Miyuki Nakajima has had a long career as a singer, this is reportedly the first time she has worked on an anime song.

Set against a wonderful slow-tempo backing track with a majestic atmosphere, the song lets you fully enjoy Nakajima’s richly expressive vocals.

Despite that, the vocal melody itself is very straightforward and simple, and the range used isn’t very wide, so it should be easy for many people to sing—and I feel it makes it easier to aim for a perfect 100 at karaoke.

The most important aspect when performing this song is how you handle the timing and spacing between phrases.

Study the original carefully, make good use of the rests, and go for that perfect 100!

Cinematic RomanceWater floating fern

Cinematic Romance / Mizuni Ukikusa

The band Mizuni Ukikusa has won popularity for its nostalgic style.

Their music is characterized by ethereal melodies with a distinctly Japanese flair, and their unparalleled sound has made them especially popular among hardcore band enthusiasts.

Among Mizuni Ukikusa’s tracks, the one I particularly recommend is Cinematic Romance.

Rooted in Showa-era kayōkyoku, it features frequent, gently subdued mid-to-low vocal lines that are a delight for lower-voiced female singers.

Be careful not to let the pitch drop too much, but give it a try and sing it with care.
