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!
New EraAdo
Ado’s 10th overall single, released digitally in June 2022.
It serves as the theme song for the animated feature ONE PIECE FILM RED and was specially written for the film by Yasutaka Nakata.
From the very beginning, the chorus bursts in with Ado’s translucent, airy falsetto, heightening anticipation for what’s to come.
When the rhythm kicks in and the same chorus melody returns, it’s delivered in a brilliant high chest voice, showcasing her remarkable sense for switching vocal production to suit the song’s scenes.
Pay attention as well to the subtle use of falsetto in the brief ad-lib phrases throughout the track.
It’s an ideal pick for karaoke if you’re confident in your falsetto, and even for those looking to learn falsetto techniques, there’s a lot to gain from this song.

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!
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.
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.
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.
familieMrs. GREEN APPLE
When it comes to bands with lots of falsetto, many people probably think of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
Among Japan’s well-known artists, vocalist Motoki Ohmori boasts one of the finest high-tone voices, with outstanding pitch control across a range that employs mixed voice and falsetto.
The song “familie” is a piece where you can fully appreciate Ohmori’s precision in the high register.
While it’s challenging, there aren’t any parts that reach an absolutely un-singable height, so if you’re confident in your high notes, why not add it to your repertoire?
