I want to sing songs with a lot of falsetto. Please suggest karaoke songs that are good for practicing falsetto (1–10).
PlatformUru
Uru is known for her delicate, airy vocals.
“Platform” was released on October 15, 2025, and is used as the opening theme for the TV anime Eternal Twilight.
Uru’s songs are generally sung with lots of breath and a falsetto-based approach, making them perfect when you want to sing in falsetto! Because “Platform” has a brighter tone, the falsetto isn’t as obvious as in some of her other tracks, but it’s sung with a strengthened, falsetto-like voice.
Singing with a similar technique might be a bit advanced.
But don’t worry! If you keep practicing using plenty of breath when producing sound, you’ll gradually be able to sing with more strength.
Aim for that clear, transparent vocal quality!
Lovers AgainEXILE
EXILE’s 22nd single, released in January 2007.
It was also used as a campaign song for the mobile carrier au.
In contemporary R&B-style songs like EXILE’s, vocals are often sung mainly in mixed voice, and deciding where to draw the line with falsetto can be quite tricky.
If you focus on the falsetto aspect, the highlight of this track is definitely the brief falsetto used on the high notes in the chorus.
You’ll see if you try it yourself—this expression requires considerable vocal technique.
If you’re confident in your high notes or head voice, give it a try!
A three-penny novelKing Gnu
This is a song that keeps showcasing Iguchi’s beautiful high tones.
It’s a 2020 track used as the theme song for the NTV drama “A 35-Year-Old Girl.” Speaking of King Gnu, it’s a band where Tsuneta’s unique world and Iguchi’s high tones beautifully match.
There may not be many people who can sing it in the original key, but since our theme this time is falsetto, it’s meaningful to sing it in the original key! When you sing, instead of pushing your voice, imagine letting the breath flow and resonating in your head.
The melody line has stair-like parts that might be difficult, but once you can produce a stable falsetto, it’s actually easier to keep pitch than singing in chest voice.
That said, core strength is important too, so keep your lower abdomen engaged to prevent your body from wobbling.
It helps to sing with a sense of quick, explosive support—like “huh, huh”—to build that snap.

I LOVE YOUkurisu haato
The ultimate love song, said to be the most tear-jerking “song of love” in the world.
Although he has naturalized in Japan, his resonant voice still carries the soul of an American—it’s a wonderful voice.
The sound that accompanies the chorus lyric “I LOVE YOU” is enough to bring you to tears.
This beautiful track is also very popular as a karaoke song for its clean falsetto.
It’s a song you’ll want to sing gently, with care and heartfelt emotion.
Before our feelings overlap…Hirai Ken
From the very beginning, Ken Hirai’s beautiful singing voice resonates in this song.
It’s a 2004 track that was used in a TOYOTA Corolla Fielder commercial and also served as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “The Truth of Tsugumi Kuzushi.” The lyrics make it a ballad that feels both like singing and like speaking to someone, so it’s a song you can really get into and sing calmly.
I often point out Ken Hirai’s singing characteristics to my students, so please use them as a reference! First, while it’s memorable that he sings with his eyes closed, in reality, closing your eyes can cause unnecessary tension and make it harder to stay on pitch.
However, Hirai raises his eyebrows and uses his hand to track the pitch while he sings.
He compensates in other ways so that singing becomes more natural and easier.
This gesture also makes it much easier to produce falsetto, so definitely give it a try!
Wherever you areONE OK ROCK
ONE OK ROCK’s signature song “Wherever you are.” Since it’s sung as a love song that vows eternity, you’ll want to use falsetto to really bring out the song’s appeal.
That said, the falsetto in “Wherever you are” appears mainly at the beginning.
The song builds toward the latter half, so about two-thirds is sung in chest voice.
If you sing the initial guitar-backed section firmly in falsetto to create contrast, it lands stylishly.
Many people who like rock and band music seem to want to sing ONE OK ROCK.
The high range can be a hurdle, but ballads let you cover the high notes with falsetto, so they’re recommended.
Open your throat and keep the breath flowing steadily!
＝ (feat. YO_CO)BAK
Released in June 2022, this song is performed as a duet by BAK and YO_CO.
It beautifully showcases their call-and-response and overlapping vocals.
Since both singers primarily use head voice, it’s perfect for those who want to sing head-voice songs.
Because the range is on the higher side, be careful not to strain your throat.
When practicing, try singing with “h”-sounds to naturally release breath; this will make it easier to sing.
A particularly recommended method is to sing all the lyrics using “hi.” The “hi” sound makes humming easier and resonates in the head.
Start by pronouncing it lightly so that it resonates in your head rather than your throat.
Your breath will flow more naturally, and producing head voice will become easier.
