AwA AwAchōtokkyū
Chotokkyu is a boy group popular among young female listeners.
Their appeal lies in performances that rival K-pop groups, and they consistently turn out hits with catchy musicality.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for its beautiful falsetto is AwA AwA.
It features a slightly Japanese-influenced, poppy melody, and in parts of the track there are very high falsetto lines.
It’s the perfect song for anyone who wants to enjoy beautiful falsetto in a fun way.

horizonback number
This is back number’s fourth digital single overall, released in August 2021.
It’s a beautiful medium-to-slow tempo song with a charmingly mellow vibe.
The subtle string arrangements used in the chorus and elsewhere are also very pleasant to listen to.
The band’s vocalist, Iyori Shimizu, isn’t particularly known for a deep, bassy voice, but the vocal range used in this song’s melody should be easy for most men to sing.
There are spots where you switch into falsetto, so in that sense it’s a slightly more advanced pick, but I’d still encourage you to give it a try.
If you’re not confident with falsetto, tighten your abdominal muscles around your navel and try to feel like you’re lifting your solar plexus with those abs while hooting “Hoo, hoo” like an owl.
Aim the sound from the mouth toward the nose to make it resonate cleanly.
Give it a try!

![flash[Alexandros]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xfG6L9I7N8I/sddefault.jpg)
This is [Alexandros]’s 19th single, released on May 5, 2021.
It was selected as the theme song for the Shochiku-distributed theatrical anime Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway.
Prior to the CD release, it was made available digitally on April 28 of the same year.
It seems that the so-called falsetto (singing voice) is used only in the latter half of the chorus, but by effectively employing a very powerful, piercing head voice (a vocal production that maximizes nasal resonance), it more than compensates for the potential weakness that falsetto singing can sometimes have, achieving a soaring high tone.
I think it’s also one of the best pieces to practice head voice.
beetle (specifically, a rhinoceros beetle)aiko
This is aiko’s fourth major-label single, released on November 17, 1999.
It was tied in as the ending theme for TBS’s “CDTV” in December 1999 and for Fuji TV’s “Jobireba!?” aiko is known for her very distinctive voice and singing style, and she further emphasizes that here by delivering a beautifully pure falsetto at the end of the chorus.
I feel this song is almost an ideal example of pinpoint use of falsetto.
If you sing it at karaoke, practice switching your vocal register smoothly at that part.
EverythingMISIA
This is MISIA’s seventh single, released in October 2000.
It was also the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Yamato Nadeshiko,” and became a massive hit, recording the highest sales for a female artist in the 2000s.
I imagine most readers have heard it at least once.
As you’d expect from MISIA, who is renowned for her vocal skill and expressive power, this track lets you fully enjoy everything from delicate high tones in falsetto to powerful, dynamic low-range singing.
If you listen closely to the original and focus on how MISIA herself shifts her approach to high notes, you’ll find there’s a lot to learn.
HOWLINGXG
XG is rumored to be one of the most skilled Japanese girl groups right now.
Their performances are breathtaking, and both their vocals and dance are on par with K-pop.
Among XG’s songs, the one I especially recommend for its exhilarating high notes is HOWLING.
The verses and pre-chorus carry a somewhat downcast mood, while the chorus features a falsetto modeled after a wolf’s howl.
This falsetto is strikingly beautiful and alluring, conveying the song’s world in just one verse.
Even though it’s falsetto, the vocal line isn’t particularly difficult, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
cherry blossom colorAnjura Aki
Angela Aki’s fifth single, released in March 2007.
It’s a beautiful ballad that evokes the gentle sunlight of spring, but according to Angela herself, it wasn’t created as a so-called “sakura song” or “spring song.” In this track, she showcases a very powerful falsetto in the high notes of the chorus and elsewhere, allowing you to fully appreciate her exceptional singing and vocal technique.
The way she switches vocal approaches from the final chorus through the closing section is especially brilliant.
It’s a must-try at karaoke for anyone confident in their vocal stamina.
