I want to sing songs that use a lot of falsetto. Songs that are good for practicing falsetto at karaoke (61–70)
Just… I miss youEXILE
This is EXILE’s 19th single, released in December 2005.
EXILE’s ATSUSHI is one of those singers whose soft, gentle falsetto is highly acclaimed.
In this track as well, his signature falsetto (mixed voice, head voice) is on full display.
I feel that the unique sensuality of falsetto often comes through even more with male singers like ATSUSHI than with female singers whose natural range is higher.
Although the song is sung mainly in mixed voice, the brief moments of head voice that appear in the track feel especially alluring.
Cry BabyOfisharu Higedan Dism
A digital distribution-only single by Official HIGE DANDism, released on May 7, 2021.
The song was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Tokyo Revengers.
Vocalist Satoshi Fujihara, known for his strikingly piercing high tones, showcases a highly versatile vocal performance in this track—centered on a powerful, soaring high register, while skillfully switching to softer falsetto as needed.
Reproducing this in karaoke may be a bit challenging for most people, but as a resource for mastering various high-tone vocal techniques and expressions, it’s an excellent choice.
Give it a try!
To new loversback number
Back Number’s classic “Atarashii Koibitotachi ni” (“To the New Lovers”).
For many years, they’ve continued to turn out hit songs with a consistent style.
Among their tracks, this is one I especially recommend: “Atarashii Koibitotachi ni.” True to form, Back Number’s signature approach is alive and well here, resulting in a moving ballad.
The song features a lot of falsetto that stands out for its delicacy and warmth, making it more of a pleasant listening experience than a powerful one.
Be sure to check it out.
Wind GodVaundy
Vaundy’s new song “Fujin.” Chosen as a TV drama’s theme, this track stands out for its distinctive structure rarely found in mainstream J‑pop.
The most notable features are the A and B sections.
With an arrangement close to neo-soul—a blend of soul, funk, and jazz—it delivers a stylish, chilled vibe.
The falsetto parts give an intentionally relaxed impression in a good way.
Since the rests themselves serve as accents, it’s a masterpiece where you can feel the groove alongside the falsetto.
Under the same skyayaka
Released in 2009, this is Ayaka’s 10th single.
She has boasted overwhelming vocal ability since her debut, but by the time of her 10th single you can enjoy an even more mature voice.
In the version linked in the video, the most striking point is that she delivers an entire full chorus completely a cappella (vocals only, no accompaniment)—it’s breathtaking.
If you’re thinking, “How am I supposed to sing this at karaoke if you’re recommending something like this!?” don’t worry—the karaoke track is the same as the original, with accompaniment from the beginning.
The way she uses falsetto isn’t so much to hit super-high notes as it is to express a sense of wistfulness, so it might be a bit challenging for those who aren’t comfortable with head voice.
The “Yeah~” interjections in the middle and the ad-lib-like riffs at the end can often sound awkward if you try to copy the original too literally.
If you’re not confident, leaving those parts out is actually a good trick to make your performance sound better.
A bouquet of flowers with loveSuperfly
A widely known smash hit by Superfly.
The vocals are soft and gentle in the low range yet never lose their core strength, and the way she switches in the high range between a piercingly powerful chest voice and a soft mixed voice is nothing short of masterful.
It’s also amazing how seamless the transitions between each vocal production are.
I imagine many people have tried this song at karaoke only to have their spirits broken and give up.
The range is wide, and the leaps from low notes to high ones make it a highly challenging piece.
That said, the parts sung in the original with shout-like chest voice can still work perfectly well if you use a slightly stronger falsetto.
Pay attention to making the shifts in tone as smooth as possible, and definitely give this song a try—you’ll blow your friends away!
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo
The atmosphere born from her distinctive voice captivates everyone in an instant.
Many people list her song as one they want to sing, right? She doesn’t actually use falsetto all that much, and the melody can be carried in chest voice, but if you skillfully use a clear falsetto at karaoke, you can really savor what makes this song great! This song is called a classic for a reason—it’s a beautiful piece that will always be loved by everyone.
