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.
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.
1991Yonezu Kenshi
‘1991,’ a masterpiece by Kenshi Yonezu known as the theme song for the film ‘5 Centimeters per Second.’ The lyrics, which seem to mirror both the protagonist and Yonezu himself, are highly emotional and have made the song popular at karaoke.
The piece spans a fairly wide vocal range of mid1F to hiD.
While the average pitch isn’t particularly high, the large jumps in melody make the song feel quite demanding overall.
It also features mixed voice, but since it’s a chest-leaning mix, people with an average vocal range should be able to manage it with practice.
Cry BabyOfisharu Higedan Dism
A digital distribution-only single by Official HIGE DANDism, released on May 7, 2021.
The song was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Tokyo Revengers.
Vocalist Satoshi Fujihara, known for his strikingly piercing high tones, showcases a highly versatile vocal performance in this track—centered on a powerful, soaring high register, while skillfully switching to softer falsetto as needed.
Reproducing this in karaoke may be a bit challenging for most people, but as a resource for mastering various high-tone vocal techniques and expressions, it’s an excellent choice.
Give it a try!

UniverseOfisharu Higedan Dism
This is the fifth single by the popular piano pop band Official HIGE DANDism (hereafter, HIGE DAN), released in February 2021.
The crystal-clear singing voice of vocalist Fujihara, which could be called HIGE DAN’s trademark, is as captivating as ever in this track.
It matches perfectly with the band’s stylish, mood-rich sound, bringing out the song’s appeal to the fullest.
The way he switches seamlessly between chest voice, mixed voice, and falsetto throughout the song is truly impressive.
He delivers stunning high notes in chest voice, and by contrasting them with his gentle falsetto, he achieves outstanding vocal expression.
Wind GodVaundy
Vaundy’s new song “Fujin.” Chosen as a TV drama’s theme, this track stands out for its distinctive structure rarely found in mainstream J‑pop.
The most notable features are the A and B sections.
With an arrangement close to neo-soul—a blend of soul, funk, and jazz—it delivers a stylish, chilled vibe.
The falsetto parts give an intentionally relaxed impression in a good way.
Since the rests themselves serve as accents, it’s a masterpiece where you can feel the groove alongside the falsetto.
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo
The atmosphere born from her distinctive voice captivates everyone in an instant.
Many people list her song as one they want to sing, right? She doesn’t actually use falsetto all that much, and the melody can be carried in chest voice, but if you skillfully use a clear falsetto at karaoke, you can really savor what makes this song great! This song is called a classic for a reason—it’s a beautiful piece that will always be loved by everyone.
