Runiri
iri is a female singer-songwriter who energizes Japan’s R&B scene with her low-toned vocals and stylish musicality.
She hasn’t been very active in the public eye lately, but she’s continued to release tracks that have earned high praise from hardcore R&B aficionados.
Among her songs, one I especially recommend is “Run.” It blends neo-soul and house, peppered with ad-libs throughout.
It also demands a solid sense of groove, making it a true “Japanese-killer” track—one that’s sure to captivate listeners in Japan.

“If” has a melody that conveys a poignant feeling right from the intro—it’s such a beautiful song.
It’s the piece my student practiced the most, and it holds special memories because they said, “I want to sing with a beautiful voice like Kana-yan’s!” and overcame their struggle with falsetto.
The highest note in this song is D#5, which is of course high, but I think the improvised falsetto lines at the beginning and end can be tough if you’re not used to them, since they’re sung with various articulations.
Those ad-lib sections sound so beautiful, so it’s worth nailing them.
With themes like “fateful encounters” and “hopes for the future,” I’d love for you to sing it to someone important to you.
Can I come see you by cream?zutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
The artist known as the “night-loving” Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.
(Zutomayo) is a band characterized by vocalist ACA-ne’s soft, high tones.
Many of Zutomayo’s songs are stylish, so I imagine a lot of women feel like giving them a try.
If you sing them, aim to keep a relaxed feel overall without belting, and since the rhythms can be tricky, try singing with a lightly swung vibe.
In the chorus, there are parts with lots of words and some wide interval jumps, so don’t force it—keep it light in ACA-ne’s style.
Rising HopeLiSA
When you think of LiSA, you think of anime songs! And there’s that image of her songs being full of high notes, right? Among them, “Rising Hope” is one that many people say, “It’s so fast and so high… great to listen to, but tough to sing!” My students struggled with it too.
The high notes are challenging, of course, but the tempo is also really fast at around 190.
With rap sections and lots of intricate parts, you’ll want to make sure you don’t get left behind while singing.
Also, in the chorus, if you slightly extend the ends of the phrases and articulate the vowels clearly, it adds to the vibe and sounds cool! There are tons of high notes, but try to keep the resonance forward in your head so the pitch doesn’t drop.
This gameSuzuki Konomi
Do you know the anison singer Konomi Suzuki? She’s really cool, so if you like anime songs, you should definitely give her a listen! In “This game,” the notes are extremely high throughout, and it even modulates in the last chorus, making it go even higher.
The overall range of the song is B3 to F5, which is generally on the higher side, and if you try to belt it all in chest voice, your throat will get wrecked (lol).
Suzuki mixes in head voice skillfully.
When hitting notes as high as in “This game,” it’s easier if you focus on resonance rather than just pushing or belting.
That said, it’s not something anyone can do right away, so first try placing a hand on your chest and check that your chest is resonating.
Also, if you forget to breathe, you won’t be able to hit high notes, so take plenty of air through your mouth and line up your breathing with the song’s timing!
