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.
broad daylightKing Gnu
Released in February 2019 as King Gnu’s second digital-only single.
It was also chosen as the theme song for the NTV Saturday drama Innocence: False Accusation Lawyer.
The track begins with a very poignant falsetto, and remarkably, that falsetto carries through almost the entire song.
To sustain such stable singing in falsetto throughout, you’d need exceptionally solid breath control; otherwise it would be quite difficult.
With falsetto-leaning mixed voice appearing in the chorus and vocals layered an octave below, the production is quite intricate.
However, if you’re singing it at karaoke, you can focus solely on the falsetto voice and you’ll be fine.

“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!
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!
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!
