I want to sing songs with lots of falsetto. Karaoke tracks that are also good for practicing falsetto (31–40)
AWAKEHoshimachi Suisei
Right now, one of the most active VTubers in the music scene is Suisei Hoshimachi.
As a signature artist of hololive, she gained nationwide popularity with “Bibidedeba.” Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is “AWAKE.” From the intro through the first verse, it features a fresh, artcore-adjacent melody, then shifts into a hip-hop vibe, and in the chorus transforms into house-style dance music.
Falsetto is used effectively in each section, so it’s perfect for listeners who want to enjoy smooth, beautiful falsetto vocals.
Even if you wait for a miracleSaucy Dog
Saucy Dog is a rock band that enjoys overwhelming support from young people.
Their defining feature, above all, is vocalist Shinya Ishihara’s high-tone voice.
Their famous song “Kiseki wo Mattetatte” is characterized by a dramatic melody themed around heartbreak.
The chorus reaches very high notes, featuring repeated use of mixed voice and falsetto.
In particular, the mixed voice parts appear at the most intense moments, so a certain degree of vocal thickness and power is required.
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.
chameleonKing Gnu
This is King Gnu’s fifth single, released on March 16, 2022.
It was also chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Mystery to Iunakare,” and was released digitally in advance on February 28.
From the very beginning, a beautifully gentle falsetto voice bursts forth, making it a truly outstanding ballad.
To resonate falsetto this cleanly, I think mastering head voice with solid use of nasal resonance is essential.
Even outside the chorus—the so-called verse sections—falsetto is used abundantly, making it quite a challenging song to sing at karaoke.
But by all means, master it and captivate your friends around you!
Spring ThiefYorushika
This is the seventh digital-only single by the Japanese rock band Yorushika, released in January 2021.
It was used as a theme song for Taisei Corporation’s TV commercial.
The contrast is striking between the A and B sections, which are arranged mainly in the lower register, and the chorus, where the vocals shine with expertly used high falsetto.
That airy falsetto singing strongly brings out the “spring-like” mood suggested by the song’s title.
With its flowing, smooth melody, it’s also one of the best pieces for practicing transitions between vocal registers, so be sure to practice it well and try selecting it at karaoke.

cherry blossomMoriyama Naotaro
Sakura, released on March 5, 2003.
With this single, Naotaro Moriyama broke through to mainstream success.
This song, which sings of parting from friends during cherry blossom season and the hope of meeting again, has become a staple for graduation ceremonies and among sakura-themed songs.
The piano-only accompaniment and the beautiful falsetto lend a sense of wistfulness and warmth to the entire piece.
It’s a must-sing for anyone confident in their falsetto!
hyururira-pappatuki.
Singer-songwriter tuki., who gained nationwide popularity with “Bansanka,” is energizing the Japanese music scene with precise pitch control, rising right behind artists like Ado and YOASOBI.
Among tuki.’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “Hyururira Pappa.” Its melody is rooted in traditional Japanese style, and thanks to the frequent alternation between chest voice and falsetto, it offers an exceptionally pleasing listening experience.
The falsetto, born from pitch control as precise as top-tier Vocaloid tuning, is absolutely stunning.
