I want to sing songs that use a lot of falsetto. Songs suitable for practicing falsetto at karaoke (41–50)
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?

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.
Watercolor MoonHata Motohiro
Hata Motohiro’s masterpiece “Suisa no Tsuki” (Watercolor Moon) is distinguished by its emotional melody.
Released after his nationwide hit “Himawari no Yakusoku,” this track has a notably acoustic and calm finish.
The vocal range is mid1F to hiC, which is on the slightly narrow side, but the chorus features consecutive high notes up to hiC, making it more difficult to sing than it may sound.
If you have a higher voice, try singing the falsetto parts with mixed voice.

The wind is blowing.ikimonogakari
Ikimono-gakari’s 24th single, released in July 2012.
The way falsetto is used in this song is a bit interesting.
When it comes to Ikimono-gakari’s singer, Kiyoe Yoshioka, she’s generally known for the appeal of her piercing high notes in chest voice.
Even in this song, falsetto only appears for a brief moment within the chorus phrase.
Moreover, it’s not used in the common way—to cover notes that can’t be reached in chest voice—but rather on pitches she could easily sing in chest voice, presumably to soften the expression.
It’s a great example of how simply changing the vocal production can expand the range of expressive singing so much.
Singers, definitely take note.
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.
Just… I miss youEXILE
This is EXILE’s 19th single, released in December 2005.
EXILE’s ATSUSHI is one of those singers whose soft, gentle falsetto is highly acclaimed.
In this track as well, his signature falsetto (mixed voice, head voice) is on full display.
I feel that the unique sensuality of falsetto often comes through even more with male singers like ATSUSHI than with female singers whose natural range is higher.
Although the song is sung mainly in mixed voice, the brief moments of head voice that appear in the track feel especially alluring.
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.
