[Feels Great to Listen To!] Popular Songs by Female Artists with Captivating High Notes (1–10)
LOVE or HATE?Maeshima Mayu
This is a digital single by Mayu Maeshima, released in January 2024.
It was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime “Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I’m Not the Demon Lord.” With its very powerful high-tone vocals and slightly idiosyncratic phrasing and vocal inflections, it’s a difficult song with several hurdles to clear if you want to sing it well.
Precisely for that reason, it’s a track I’d love confident singers to take on.
You’ll need consistently powerful vocal projection throughout, of course, but I also think feeling the rhythm and groove of the so-called digi-rock backing track is a key point for singing it.
So be sure to study up thoroughly on those aspects before you give it a try.
PreciousItō Yuna
Released in 2006 as Yuna Ito’s third single.
It became a long-running hit as the theme song for “LIMIT OF LOVE: Umizaru,” which topped the Japanese live-action box office in 2006.
It’s a grand love song that captures the film’s world, featuring excellent English pronunciation and beautiful, soaring high notes.
I alone am honored above heaven and earth.Mina
MINA’s debut track, distinguished by its striking high notes, is a song that expresses self-affirmation and inner strength.
Set to a poppy melody, she powerfully sings from her own unique worldview.
Released in May 2024, the song sparked a huge response on social media, especially among younger listeners.
MINA’s bass performance is also captivating and resonates deeply with listeners.
It’s a recommended track for anyone who wants to cherish their individuality or get a boost of energy.
It’s guaranteed to light up a live show, so be sure to experience it at a venue!

MessageShimizu Miisa
A warm graduation song whose free-flowing vocals resonate deep in the heart.
Message, a track by Mie-born singer Miisa Shimizu, was released in 2024 and drew attention when it was chosen as the theme song for the short drama “Ageriko Gakuen – Graduation Arc.” Its gentle sound arrangement highlights high notes that carry no strain yet have a firm core.
Each word seems to slip effortlessly into the listener’s heart.
It’s a piece I’d also recommend for stripped-down, self-accompanied covers.
Become a flowerRyokushokushakai
Released in December 2023, this is the eighth single by the pop-rock band Ryokuoushoku Shakai, fronted by Haruko Nagaya, whose expansive high-tone voice is especially captivating.
It was written as the opening theme for the Nippon TV anime “The Apothecary Diaries.” Set to an upbeat, highly catchy track, the song lets you fully enjoy Nagaya’s high-register vocals—from powerful chest-voice highs to gentle falsetto—showcased with impressive control.
Please enjoy.
Mutual loveaiko
The wistful love song “Sōshi Sōai” captivates with its beautiful melody and realistic lyrics.
Released in 2024 as the 45th single, it was chosen as the theme song for the animated film Detective Conan: The Million-dollar Pentagram.
The song reflects Aiko’s views on love; while it may sound like a heartbreak ballad, it isn’t—instead, it conveys a pure, fragile feeling of devotion toward someone you love.
And Aiko’s high-toned voice has a curious way of making you feel as if your whole body is gently enveloped.
Snow BlossomNakajima Mika
Mika Nakashima draws attention not only for her released songs but also for her distinctive makeup and fashion.
It’s said that Yoichi Hama, the vocalist of three tight b, was the one who advised her, “You should try singing.” Above all, her charm lies in that whisper-like voice.
In “Yuki no Hana,” the high notes in the chorus feel especially good, as if in contrast to the restrained A and B sections.
Is her falsetto—so natural it doesn’t even feel like a technique—the result of dedicated practice? It would be wonderful to practice a lot and be able to sing like Nakashima-san!
