I want to sing songs with lots of falsetto. Karaoke tracks that are also good for practicing falsetto (121–130)
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.
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.
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.
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.
