[Pleasant to Listen To!] Popular Songs by Female Artists with Captivating High Notes (101–110)
only my railgunfripSide
Released in November 2009 as fripSide’s first single of their second phase.
Following the departure of vocalist nao in March 2009, this was their first work featuring new vocalist Yoshino Nanjō, and also their re-debut single on a new record label.
It served as the first opening theme for the TBS-affiliated anime A Certain Scientific Railgun.
The song is characterized by an uptempo, sharply rising and falling melody typical of recent anime songs, and Nanjō delivers the wide vocal range with great skill.
It can be considered one of the best reference and practice pieces for learning how to use falsetto effectively within a powerful, uptempo track.
Tears Flowing EndlesslyNatsukawa Rimi
Rimi Natsukawa’s third single, released on March 23, 2001.
Natsukawa has the background of having debuted in 1989 with Pony Canyon as an enka singer under the name Misato Hoshi, and in Nada Sōsō she fully draws on that background.
Within a melody that evokes distinctly Japanese scenery, she showcases a high-tone voice featuring vibrato with a kobushi-like flourish.
It’s a track that truly lets you feel the height of Natsukawa’s potential as a singer.
Standing on stageYOASOBI
Surprisingly, this song modulates near the end, but instead of going higher, it drops by a semitone first and then immediately rises again.
It really feels like the meaning of the title, “Standing on Stage,” is packed into this one track! Ikura’s vocals resonate with real strength in the high notes without her having to belt.
Carrying the voice with breath rather than shouting makes the sound come out naturally and leads to that clear, transparent tone! Many of my students sing YOASOBI’s songs, so I hope all of you will give them a try, too!
Follow MeE-Girls
This is the third single from E-Girls, a dance-vocal group known for their high level of technical skill.
It’s one of their most well-known songs, having been featured in a Samantha Thavasa commercial and used as the theme for the variety show “Onegai! Ranking.” With its upbeat groove, it’s also a popular choice for karaoke.
LOVE 2000hitomi
LOVE 2000 opens with an impressive intro guitar riff.
This song is an up-tempo number released in 2000 by singer-songwriter hitomi.
It also drew attention when Naoko Takahashi, the women’s marathon runner who won gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, said she would play it during training and before races to get pumped up.
The piercing high notes make you feel like you could just start running—they’re incredibly exhilarating to listen to!

my sweet darlin’Yaita Hitomi
The lively, upbeat melody and vocals really get you pumped.
It’s a song by Hitomi Yaida, a singer-songwriter from Toyonaka, Osaka.
Released in 2000 as her second single, it became her breakout hit that made her name known across Japan.
It’s a refreshing love song that sings straightforwardly about the feeling of being in love.
It also makes great background music for a drive.
Someday, the two of ushiro
Hiro’s 14th single, released in August 2006.
Speaking of Hiro, ever since her SPEED days she’s been known for her powerful high-tone voice, and in this track—released about 20 years after SPEED’s debut—you can enjoy that same radiant high tone imbued with a distinctly mature sensuality.
Highly recommended for longtime SPEED fans, newcomers, and anyone who loves female high-register vocals!
