It’s an up-tempo, very powerful rock number, and Eir’s vocals on it are likewise powerful, retaining their strength even in the high notes.

Kohmi Hirose is a female artist known for her high tones, representing the 1990s.

Her piercing high notes are memorable, and she has been very active recently on her own YouTube channel.

Among her songs, I recommend “Promise,” which carries a Latin vibe.

This track is challenging, with sustained high notes right from the opening and requiring vibrato as well.

However, if you can master it, it’s sure to level up your skills—so be sure to practice it and add it to your repertoire!

dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo

A signature song by Yo Hitoto that gently sings a prayer for a loved one and a wish for peace.

Released in February 2004, it has soothed many hearts with the unique sensibility of her Taiwanese-Japanese heritage and her clear, transparent voice.

Using a flower—the symbol of Japan-U.S.

friendship—as its motif, it expresses the bond with someone precious and hopes for a happy future.

The song was featured as the theme for NTV’s “Tuesday Suspense Theater” and in JRA commercials, and it set a record by charting on the Oricon Weekly Singles Ranking for 125 consecutive weeks.

This is indeed one of Yo Hitoto’s signature tracks.

The soaring high notes in the chorus have great resonance, making it a very pleasant listen.

It remains timeless, shining as a song people want to hear at pivotal moments—heartache and farewells, as well as weddings and graduations.

Green Yellow SocietyMela

Ryokuoushoku Shakai is a four-piece co-ed pop-rock band.

Their vocalist, Haruko Nagaya, has such a distinctive voice that once you hear it, it sticks in your head and won’t let go! Their 2020 release “Mela!” is a dance-rock tune that’s tough to sing, with rapid-fire lyrics and repeated high notes.

In the high sections, the head voice and chest voice switch quickly, and I’m in awe of how smoothly Nagaya sings through those parts.

The rhythm is also very distinctive, and it’s impressive how she never misses even the tiniest phrases.
