To new loversback number
Back Number’s classic “Atarashii Koibitotachi ni” (“To the New Lovers”).
For many years, they’ve continued to turn out hit songs with a consistent style.
Among their tracks, this is one I especially recommend: “Atarashii Koibitotachi ni.” True to form, Back Number’s signature approach is alive and well here, resulting in a moving ballad.
The song features a lot of falsetto that stands out for its delicacy and warmth, making it more of a pleasant listening experience than a powerful one.
Be sure to check it out.

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!
If I Fall in LoveCrystal Kay
This is the 17th single by Crystal Kay, a female singer and actress, released in May 2005.
It was chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Koi ni Ochitara: Boku no Seikou no Himitsu,” and as of March 2023, when this article was written, it remains her biggest hit single.
Crystal Kay’s use of head voice and falsetto—especially noticeable in the pre-chorus (B-melody) section—is truly outstanding.
By deftly switching between a gentle falsetto and a powerful falsetto, she showcases remarkably nuanced vocal expression.
It’s very difficult to replicate this in karaoke by relying solely on differences in volume.
Instead of controlling volume, try to sing by adjusting the speed of your breath when producing your falsetto.
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.
I love youback number
This is the sixth digital single by the Japanese rock band back number, released in October 2022.
In addition to being used as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series Maiagare!, it was also selected as the entrance march for the 95th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament.
The falsetto singing by vocalist Iyori Shimizu heard in this track may seem very faithful to the fundamentals of how falsetto is typically used in ballads by rock bands of this kind, yet it also feels like it plays a major role in expressing the song’s world and atmosphere.
When you sing it at karaoke, be sure to switch smoothly from chest voice, and take care that the high falsetto parts don’t stick out awkwardly from the rest of the song.
When using falsetto, try to soften the tone as much as possible in your mouth and aim the sound lightly toward the nasal area—you should be able to produce a falsetto similar to the original singer’s.
Give it a try!
Kaiju no Hanabuta (Monster’s Flower Song)Vaundy
A digital-only single by singer-songwriter Vaundy, released in May 2020.
It was put out as a pre-release single from his debut album “strobo.” Despite the striking title, the song itself is a very classic, uptempo pop track, and you can fully enjoy Vaundy’s expansive high tones and falsetto over the backing track.
The vocal melody uses a relatively high range, making it a good recommendation for higher-voiced male singers to try at karaoke.
To sing it well, it’s important not to lose the tempo or groove—really feel the beat and be careful not to let the rhythm become flat as you sing.
