Songs that score well at karaoke for women in their 20s

vip?Natsuko Nisshoku

Nisshoku Natsuko – ‘vip?’ Official Music Video

Nisshoku Natsuko is known as a singer-songwriter who accompanies herself on piano.

Her appeal lies in a worldview that, while grounded in lyrics that feel like slices of everyday life, also carries a touch of Ghibli-like fantasy in its melodies.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is “vip?”.

It’s a very languid piece with a fairly narrow vocal range; although there are many long tones in the vocal line, the pitch movement itself is gently contoured.

It’s basically an easy song, but the voltage rises a bit in the C section, so be sure to carefully determine the appropriate key.

SEKAI NO OWARI “Encyclopedia”

SEKAI NO OWARI often gives the impression of having many high-pitched songs, but the July 2025 release “Zukan” doesn’t feature belted high notes and has little range fluctuation, so it seems very scoring-friendly—you might even aim for a perfect 100.

The melody is also easy to remember since it’s structured with just verse A, verse B, and the chorus, without a new section like a bridge.

Overall, the vocal range, rhythm, and melody are clearly organized, so you don’t need any special techniques and can sing it at a relaxed pace.

To aim for 100 points, the first priority is matching pitch.

Try singing lightly with the image of lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows and sending the voice forward from just above the eyebrows.

Vocalist Fukase also tends to keep his eyebrows raised, so use that as a reference!

Yama’s song “us” doesn’t have many high notes, so there aren’t any parts where you need to belt; overall it’s sung in a whispery style, making it very easy to sing throughout.

The general range is G#3–C#5, and the verses (A-melody to B-melody) are on the lower side, which suits lower voices well.

The chorus does include some higher notes around C5, but if you sing them lightly with a falsetto-like tone rather than belting, it’ll be easier to sing without strain and will fit the song’s atmosphere perfectly.

Try delivering it gently and smoothly!

MessageMISAMO

Message

MISAMO is a unit formed by the Japanese members of the K-POP group TWICE.

The name MISAMO comes from the first letters of the three members’ names! In this song, “Message,” the melody is very smooth and the pitch is easy to grasp, so try to focus on singing carefully.

The chorus lyrics are all the same, so once you memorize them, it’s easy to sing.

In the last chorus, the key changes and the notes go higher, but keep your shoulders relaxed and aim to sing lightly while matching the pitch bar accurately.

One thing I want to ask youSHISHAMO

SHISHAMO "One Thing I Want to Ask You"

This song has a relaxed groove that’s easy to catch, and I’ve heard the average karaoke score is in the low-to-mid 90s, so I think it’s a song where it’s relatively easy to score well! In the first verse, there are spots where the pitch jumps higher—don’t hesitate, project your voice clearly into the mic.

The chorus has a unique rhythm, so be precise: make clean cuts where needed and keep the timing accurate instead of letting it all flow together.

Also, adding clear dynamics throughout the song boosts your expressiveness score, which can really raise your overall points.

Try focusing on each point one by one and give it a shot!

As a personSuperfly

Superfly – As a Person (SUPER BEAVER cover) [Music Video] / Included on the cover album “Amazing” (Release: 2025.6.18)

Superfly has many songs with a high vocal range, but this one is a cover of SUPER BEAVER, so the range is set lower than in typical Superfly songs.

If you’re a woman who wants to sing SUPER BEAVER’s “Hito to Shite,” the original might feel too low and make it hard to hit the pitches, so singing the Superfly version could make it easier to match the notes and get a higher score.

Listening through the song, it’s structured to build momentum from the A-melody into the chorus.

The last chorus modulates and goes even higher, but if you sing with energy, it becomes easier to project and stay on pitch, so I recommend riding the rhythm as you sing.

filamentUru

[Official] Uru “Filament” – Theme song for the film “When You Cry Because It’s Delicious”

Uru’s “Filament” gives the impression that the opening pitch of each phrase starts low.

To avoid mismatching timing and pitch, it’s important to nail those openings cleanly.

If you start your voice just a touch earlier, the low notes will align more easily with the pitch bar.

Overall, it’s a breathy song in Uru’s style, but when aiming for a high score, either sing in the voice that’s easiest for you and lock in the pitch firmly, or if you want to sing in Uru’s style, keep the image of starting your voice slightly early to help match the pitch bar.

For the chorus, singing gently with a falsetto base should also make it easier to hit 100 points!
