Ai's ScenarioCHiCO with HoneyWorks
This is the second single by the unit CHiCO with HoneyWorks, formed by female singer CHiCO and the creator team HoneyWorks.
The song was used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Magic Kaito 1412,” and it’s a piano rock tune featuring striking synth sounds.
Because it not only has a high key but also includes many melodic leaps and dynamic changes in the ensemble, it’s important to grasp the overall shape of the melody.
The vocal range itself isn’t very wide, so if the original key is too challenging, sing it in a key that suits your range.
InfernoMrs. GREEN APPLE
When people hear “artists or bands with a wide vocal range,” many probably think of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE first.
Their song Inferno, released in 2019, features a distinctly stronger rock flavor compared to their more recent tracks.
The most challenging aspect of this piece is undoubtedly the chorus, which repeatedly alternates between chest voice and falsetto.
While advanced techniques like vibrato or vocal runs are hardly required, the pitch control is very demanding, making it a song that significantly narrows who can sing it well.
mixed nutsOfficial HIGE DANDism
A four-piece band popularly known by the nickname Higedan, Official HIGE DANDism has won acclaim for quality pop sounds, including their smash hit “Pretender.” This is their seventh digital single, written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime SPY×FAMILY.
Its thrilling arrangement, featuring a jazzy walking bass, meshes well with the anime’s vibe.
With an overall high key and fast tempo—and an even higher-range melody appearing in the chorus—it’s a very challenging song for karaoke.
Start by practicing either the speed of the melody or the high key, and gradually get used to the song as a whole.

TorchesAimer
This is the 17th single by Aimer, a female singer who captivates fans with her distinctive and emotional voice that’s unforgettable after just one listen.
The song was used as the ending theme for the TV anime Vinland Saga, and the mystical ensemble woven by the lead vocals and chorus is truly moving.
Because of Aimer’s vocal timbre, the melody may not sound very high in key, but due to leaps in pitch and effective use of falsetto, high notes appear throughout the song.
If you try it at karaoke, practice first in a key that’s comfortable for you, then move on to the original key.
sea colorAKINO from bless4
The fifth single by singer AKINO from bless4, who is active as a member of the bilingual sibling quartet bless4.
This song was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Kantai Collection -KanColle-.
It’s a number that immediately spotlights a powerful vocal performance right from the opening.
With frequent dynamic changes in expression, large melodic leaps, a fast tempo, and a high key, it’s a song that demands constant focus even in karaoke.
Since the mood shifts between the A verse, B verse, and chorus, we recommend first practicing each part individually before working through the entire song.
Sunny dropNovelbright
A number known as a challenge piece for its wide range and continuous high notes.
The high leaps in the final chorus are especially an S‑tier difficulty point.
The overall vocal range spans roughly C#3 to F#5, which is quite wide, and you should pay particular attention to the switch into the high tones in the chorus.
Of course, if you just belt recklessly, you’ll wreck your throat, so be mindful of resonance placement and aim to let the highs come out comfortably.
In any range, keep the image of ringing the space behind your head, and as the pitch rises, increase your explosiveness.
Before singing, don’t forget to warm up with lip rolls, humming, and similar exercises!
Frenzy Hey Kids!!THE ORAL CIGARETTES
A four-piece rock band, THE ORAL CIGARETTES, whose imaginative lyrics and intense live performances electrify fans, released this as their fourth single.
The song was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Noragami ARAGOTO, and its music video on YouTube is a popular number overseas as well.
Because it’s high-tempo and maintains a melody in a high register, it’s important in karaoke to be careful not to fall behind the rhythm.
In the chorus, there are repeated leaps in pitch using falsetto, so sing with an awareness of placing each note accurately.
