unravelAdo
Ado’s cover of the classic song “unravel.” This work is a cover of a track by TK, the frontman of the popular band Ling tosite sigure, and it gained popularity for its dirty, emotionally charged vocal delivery not found in the original.
Throughout the piece, falsetto appears in many sections.
While a trembling falsetto is generally considered a no-go, given its compatibility with the lyrics here, this is a song where you should prioritize expression and sing the falsetto with a deliberate tremble.
Resident of the EyeL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
A track that opens Kenshi Yonezu’s fifth album, STRAY SHEEP, released in August 2020.
In this song, falsetto appears for just a brief instant in the chorus phrase, yet that fleeting moment is highly effective in leaving a strong impression as a vocal expression.
The contrast with the powerful high tones used in the so-called D section is also wonderfully effective.
Because this flash of falsetto depends on smooth register shifts, it’s a technique you can only pull off if you’re truly skilled—nothing to say but “as expected!” I encourage everyone to practice it.
The key to singing it lies in how quickly you can release tension.

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!
365 daysMr.Children
365 Nichi was one of the tracks on the original 2010 album SENSE.
Even before the album’s release, it drew attention as the TV commercial song for NTT East and NTT West.
The song conveys feelings for a loved one and the wish for those feelings to reach them.
With Mr.Children’s powerful yet heartrending vocals and sound, the meaning of the lyrics comes through directly.
Because the use of falsetto enhances the sense of poignancy, try to be mindful of hitting those brief high notes in falsetto.
STAY TUNESuchmos
Released in January 2016 as the lead track from Suchmos’s second EP, LOVE&VICE.
It was featured in a commercial for Honda’s VEZEL.
While the song is crafted like an uptempo, black-music-inspired disco track, you can also occasionally sense rock elements in the vocal development and guitar phrases—an intriguing piece with a sophisticated production and a mysterious mood.
What gives the track its “mysterious floating feel” is YONCE’s vocals, which make effective use of falsetto.
This airy singing style is truly lovely.
If you sing it at karaoke, the key point will be how well you can switch between registers.
It may take some practice, but the sense of accomplishment when you master it is considerable—so definitely give it a try!
GLAMOROUS SKYNakajima Mika
The 16th single released under the name “NANA starring MIKA NAKASHIMA.” Despite its quite powerful, hard rock sound, it has a somewhat mysterious atmosphere, with Mika Nakashima’s soft, floating vocals—likely delivered intentionally without a forceful singing style—gliding over the top.
The falsetto used in the chorus enhances this effect even more.
If you plan to sing it at karaoke, the falsetto usage isn’t particularly difficult, so as long as you pay attention to your vocal register switching points, it should be relatively accessible for most people.
Give it a try!
