[Feels Great to Listen To!] Popular Songs by Female Artists with Captivating High Notes (71–80)
Long DreamYU-KI
This was YUKI’s 10th solo single, released in April 2005.
According to YUKI herself, she wrote the song “thinking of her son, who died suddenly at 1 year and 11 months old in March 2005.” YUKI has long been known, since her JUDY AND MARY days, for her bright and distinctive voice, but in parts like the A-melody here, her voice carries a touch of melancholy—perhaps for that very reason.
That said, in the high notes of the chorus you can fully enjoy YUKI’s uniquely powerful chest-voice highs—an impressive hallmark, as expected.
Even setting aside the song’s background, it’s a track that showcases YUKI’s expanded expressive range compared to her band era, letting you appreciate her high-tone vocals all the more.
You…Nishino Kana
Kana Nishino’s 12th single, released in November 2010.
Kana Nishino often sings songs that convey her feelings with straightforward words.
In this one, too, she sings in clear, crisp Japanese that makes you feel her desire to communicate those feelings sincerely.
Along with her naturally transparent voice, her ability to deliver very steady long tones even in the high register is one of her charms.
It’s so steady that it can feel a bit lacking in expressiveness—almost a little mechanical at times—but that’s the trade-off for vocal stability.
Her inherently clear, transparent high tone also becomes a powerful weapon in slow, major-key ballads like “Kimi tte.” The falsetto that appears in the high notes of the chorus is lovely as well.
The Kouga Ninja ScrollsOnmyoza
This was Onmyo-za’s 10th single, released in April 2005.
It was used as the opening theme for the UHF TV anime “Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls,” marking Onmyo-za’s first anime tie-in song.
Now, as for Onmyo-za’s singer Kuroneko: in the powerful sections she sings in a style fairly typical of Japanese female metal vocalists, but what’s truly noteworthy is her gentle tone and delivery in the softer parts.
The contrast with the consistently intense metal backing is exquisitely beautiful.
Moreover, the way Kuroneko herself creates contrast between the powerful chorus sections and her own vocal approach is nothing short of masterful.
New meYOASOBI
YOASOBI’s new song “New me.” When you think of YOASOBI, sparkling pop tunes come to mind, but this track, while retaining that flavor, features smooth vocals that incorporate elements of city pop.
Musically, it has frequent key changes and falsetto, with pronounced jumps in pitch.
It doesn’t demand powerful vocals, but it does require impeccably precise pitch control, almost like a Vocaloid.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
Bluebirdikimonogakari
Ikimono-gakari’s 10th single, released in September 2008.
It also served as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime Naruto Shippuden, so many of you have probably heard it.
Yoshioka’s vocals aren’t an ultra-human high-tone showcase, but her bright, radiant voice—rich in high-frequency overtones—energizes listeners.
It’s also a great pick for karaoke for women with naturally high speaking voices.
There’s a lot to learn from this straightforward vocal style, too!
Warabe-gami ~Yamatoguchi~Natsukawa Rimi
This is an Okinawan song sung by Rimi Natsukawa, a singer from Ishigaki City in Okinawa Prefecture who is also known for “Nada Sōsō.” The song was originally performed by singer Misako Koja, and this is the cover version.
It was released as a single in 2003.
It served as the theme song for the drama “Shirahata no Shōjo” (The Girl with the White Flag).
Its warm melody and vocals really touch the heart.
It makes you want to listen to it while looking out at the sea.
affectionKoyanagi Yuki
It was released in 2000 as Yuki Koyanagi’s fourth single.
The song was used as the ending theme for NTV’s “Yamitsuki,” and it became her second best-selling single.
Nominated for the 33rd Japan Cable Awards, it’s a track noted for its soulful, powerful high notes.
