I want to sing songs with a lot of falsetto. Karaoke-friendly tracks that are also good for practicing falsetto (21–30)
Robinsonsupittsu
Spitz’s 11th single, released in April 1995.
It’s a refreshing tune with a slightly nostalgic feel, and Kusano’s clear vocals match it perfectly.
In the final phrase of the chorus, the use of falsetto contrasts nicely with the preceding high notes sung in chest voice, creating the sensation—just like in the lyrics—of being drawn up into a blue sky.
It’s a very effective use of falsetto, but technically it isn’t particularly difficult, so it shouldn’t be too hard to handle at karaoke.
Just be mindful of maintaining stable tone production and pitch when switching back from falsetto to chest voice.
DearMrs. GREEN APPLE
If you ask, “Who has a beautiful falsetto?”, many younger listeners will probably all picture Motoki Ohmori from Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
Indeed, their songs frequently feature highly challenging falsetto lines.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend for its beautiful falsetto is Dear.
It repeatedly uses lower to moderately high falsetto, making it a great pick for anyone looking to train their falsetto control.

A hit song by HY released in 2008.
You can enjoy vocalist Ms.
Nakasone’s outstanding singing ability.
The linked video appears to be from a live performance, and that level of stability on stage is truly astonishing.
From the very beginning, her highly convincing voice instantly draws you into the song’s world.
The key point when singing this at karaoke is how well you can handle the brief falsetto that appears in the high notes—it all comes down to that.
Many people will also struggle with the ultra–high falsetto near the end that’s almost like a whistle tone, but what’s really hard is switching cleanly into that momentary falsetto and hitting the exact pitch.
If you can clear that, the overall key of the song isn’t that high, so you shouldn’t suffer too much with the high notes and can manage it well.
I think it can be sung in a male key too, so it’s definitely a song I’d like men to try as well.
Charlesbarūn
Charles, written and composed by the Vocaloid producer Balloon, was released online on October 12, 2016.
On October 17 of the same year, a self-cover version by Balloon—the song’s lyricist and composer—was also released, drawing a lot of attention.
Centered on the theme of “parting,” the song has captured many hearts with its relatable lyrics, driving drum rhythms, and cool guitar phrases.
The characteristic wide melodic leaps unique to Vocaloid are also very appealing!

“Wataridori,” which was selected as the theme song for the film Akegarasu, accompanies a comedy set in a host club that portrays 12 hours in the life of a host pressured to repay his debts and his unreliable companions.
The track stands out for its brisk tempo, dynamic sound, and exhilarating lyrics.
Above all, it becomes a truly radiant piece by making full use of vocalist Yohei Kawakami’s wide vocal range, especially the abundant use of high keys.
Ghost of the SeaYonezu Kenshi
This is a digital-download-only single by Kenshi Yonezu, released in June 2019.
It is also included on Uma to Shika, which was released as his 10th single on September 11.
The song was created as the theme for the theatrical anime Children of the Sea, produced by STUDIO4°C.
Yonezu is well known for his beautiful falsetto, and that gorgeous singing is fully on display here as well.
Even more striking to me personally, though, is the grand chorus, which seems to have been crafted by making full use of digital editing techniques.
Normally, when building such a thick chorus, you would record the same part multiple times, but in this track, that seems to have been kept to a minimum.
Instead, I suspect the chorus parts were generated from one—or perhaps a few—main vocal takes using pitch-editing processes.
By layering Yonezu’s highly expressive, warmly human voice through mechanical processing, the track achieves a wonderfully mysterious world of sound—a truly superb piece of sound design.
Night DiverMiura Haruma
You really can’t help but admire the vocals of hyde from L’Arc~en~Ciel, who has led Japan’s rock band scene! He delivers everything beautifully, from rich, deep lows to clear, soaring highs.
In this song in particular, use a deep, resonant tone up to the chorus, and then switch to falsetto to take on the high notes in the chorus! It’s quite high, so there may not be many men who can hit those notes, but it’ll feel amazing if you can sing it!
