I want to sing songs that use a lot of falsetto. Songs suitable for practicing falsetto at karaoke (41–50)
Letter to TomorrowTeshima Aoi
Her songs, sung like a gentle exhale, spread a tender voice you can’t forget once you hear it.
Her pure, soothing vocals are truly captivating.
This track is also popular at karaoke for those who want to produce a clean falsetto.
Since you sing using falsetto for most of the song, it can be quite good practice.
Listeners will likely feel their hearts soften and a warm ache in their chest.
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!
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.
Love, Day After TomorrowKuraki Mai
Mai Kuraki’s debut single, released in December 1999.
Despite being a debut, it became a million-seller, topping 1.4 million copies over the course of more than a month.
Throughout the track, she skillfully employs falsetto and a falsetto-leaning mixed voice, delivering an exceptionally soft vocal performance.
Considering that Kuraki was only 17 at the time of recording, this level of expressiveness is quite remarkable.
Compared to contemporaries like Hikaru Utada, who debuted around the same time and helped ignite the R&B-style diva boom, her voice and singing do convey a touch of “youthfulness,” but that quality is precisely part of the song’s charm.
Snow BlossomNakajima Mika
Her signature song “Yuki no Hana,” known for its beautiful falsetto, has been covered by many artists both in Japan and abroad.
Countless people sing this song in falsetto at karaoke, and it remains popular today.
As a winter ballad, it’s often sung during the wistful winter season, and her voice in the chorus is so beautiful that many admirers practiced it over and over (lol).
This is truly a classic falsetto song, without a doubt!
sparkleFuji Kaze
This is a song by Fujii Kaze, released exclusively via digital distribution on May 3, 2021.
It was written specifically for Honda’s VEZEL commercial, and it was reportedly the first time he had ever handled a commercial song.
While the track has a very fun, buoyant feel, Fujii’s airy falsetto—especially audible in the latter half of the chorus—really shines within the music and sound.
That sense of weightless floating is possible precisely because of his captivating 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.
