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.
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!
366 daysHY
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.
Blooming in the mudUorupisukātā
Wolpis Carter is a male singer whose voice is so clear and beautiful it could be mistaken for a woman’s.
He’s known as a “guy who wants to hit high notes,” and this song is his specialty! The melody climbs even higher toward the end, so unless you’re comfortable with high tones from the start, it’s tough to sing in the original key.
The last chorus might give you a headache… But when a song is this high, it actually feels downright beautiful.
I personally love high-note songs, and belting them out feels amazing.
The overall range is quite wide, from G#3 to F5, so be careful not to strain your throat on the low notes.
Lift your facial muscles from the beginning and sing it through to the end!
1991Yonezu Kenshi
‘1991,’ a masterpiece by Kenshi Yonezu known as the theme song for the film ‘5 Centimeters per Second.’ The lyrics, which seem to mirror both the protagonist and Yonezu himself, are highly emotional and have made the song popular at karaoke.
The piece spans a fairly wide vocal range of mid1F to hiD.
While the average pitch isn’t particularly high, the large jumps in melody make the song feel quite demanding overall.
It also features mixed voice, but since it’s a chest-leaning mix, people with an average vocal range should be able to manage it with practice.
Que sera, seraMrs. GREEN APPLE
This is Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s seventh digital-only single, released in April 2023.
It was written as the theme song for the ABC TV/TV Asahi drama series “Sunday Night Is About…” The arrangement builds into a notably dramatic development from the middle section through the ending.
Vocalist Motoki Omori beautifully brings the song to life by switching among various vocal techniques and expressive styles—starting with the falsetto voice that is the focus of this piece—in response to that dramatic arrangement.
Be sure to listen closely to the subtle nuances and vocal delivery throughout the track.
If you’re aiming to become a singer or improve your karaoke skills, you’ll surely find a lot to gain!
