Ca Va?Bikkeburanka
It’s the third CD single by Japanese singer-songwriter Vickeblanka, released in June 2019.
By the way, the title “Ca Va?” is French for “How are you?” The song begins as a ballad with piano and vocals, then turns into an upbeat, black music–influenced dance number as the rhythm kicks in.
Alongside the powerful singing, the gentle, soft falsetto is used very effectively in places like the slightly quieter middle section and the chorus parts, making it, in a sense, a textbook example of how to use falsetto within a song.
PINK BLOODUtada Hikaru
This is a digital-only single by Hikaru Utada, released on June 2, 2021.
It was selected as the opening theme for the NHK Educational TV anime “To Your Eternity.” Notably, this is reportedly the first time since her debut that Utada has provided the main theme for a TV anime series.
As is often the case with so-called R&B-style singers like Utada, the song is a treasure trove of beautiful mixed voice and falsetto, and this track is no exception—it lets you fully enjoy Utada’s gorgeous falsetto.
That said, there are also many sections sung in chest voice, including the so-called verse parts, where Utada’s innate vocal skill delivers exquisitely nuanced expression.
Overall, it’s a song with a relatively high level of difficulty for karaoke, but that also means it’s well worth the challenge.
Since the chorus parts make frequent use of falsetto, those who are good at falsetto might have fun singing it with friends and taking on the chorus parts.
Who am I?TK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE
TK, the frontman of Ling tosite sigure, is known for his high tenor voice.
Both with the band and as a solo artist, he excels at songs that make the most of his naturally bright tone and upper register.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Darega Tame.
The piece stays in a high range throughout, featuring frequent falsetto and mixed voice.
It’s quite challenging, but if you can pull it off at karaoke, you’ll definitely grab everyone’s attention.
canaryYonezu Kenshi
A track included on Kenshi Yonezu’s album STRAY SHEEP, released in August 2020.
It’s a beautiful ballad that seeps into the listener’s heart, showcasing expressive vocals that make excellent use of Yonezu’s gorgeous falsetto.
The contrast between his powerful high notes in chest voice and his beautiful falsetto creates a richly expressive performance.
I believe this song is perfect for practicing switching between falsetto and chest voice, as well as using mixed voice—especially in the chorus.
If you want to develop a wonderful falsetto, definitely try singing this song!

Tears of ThornsL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
Even during their current hiatus, the world-famous visual kei rock band L’Arc~en~Ciel continues to be played by many listeners.
From beautifully ethereal songs to intense and sensual tracks, they boast an exceptionally wide musical range.
Among their catalog, the song I especially recommend for its gorgeous falsetto is Ibara no Namida (Tear of Thorns).
It opens with a slightly African-inspired intro and transitions into a powerful, full-throttle chorus, with falsetto appearing in every section.
It’s a very challenging piece, but I encourage you to give it a try.
Your LoveFurui Riho
Furui Riho is a female singer-songwriter whose R&B-centered sound has earned strong support from female listeners.
Her track “Your Love” is known as one of her recent hits and has gained nationwide popularity.
The highlight of the song is undoubtedly the falsetto in the chorus.
Since it’s sung with a slightly mixed-voice quality, it’s a great practice piece for those who want to train their higher register.
Give it a try.
oni; demon; ogre; spirit (depending on context)Kizu
Kizu is a visual-kei rock band that has been active since the late 2010s.
Among bands of their generation, they boast overwhelming talent, and especially the vocalist, Lime, ranks among the top three in singing ability within visual-kei vocalists.
Among Kizu’s songs, the one I particularly recommend for its beautiful falsetto is Oni.
Falsetto appears repeatedly in the A melody, the chorus, and the bridge, but the chorus falsetto is especially stunning.
The powerful yet precisely pitched falsetto in the chorus makes for excellent reference material for karaoke.
