[Pleasant to Listen To!] Popular Songs by Female Artists with Captivating High Notes (141–150)

Attack on TitanKobayashi Miku

A track included on the original soundtrack of the hugely popular anime Attack on Titan, with the album released on June 28, 2013.

Naturally, it’s an insert song for the same anime.

The singer, Mika Kobayashi, is known for her powerful, resonant voice, and in this song she delivers a very strong, soaring high tone right from the intro.

I’ve handled her vocal recording several times and even did direction for her, and she picks up songs quickly; she responded immediately to my demanding directions and requests.

She’s an exceptionally high-potential singer! I’d love to work with her again if the opportunity arises.

NEVER EVERHamasaki Ayumi

It conveys a powerful will to keep moving forward, singing of a search that began even before Ayumi Hamasaki was born—sometimes hurting others, sometimes herself, yet pressing on.

It’s a song you should listen to when you feel lost and come to a standstill in life.

It will make you realize the importance of holding on to unchanging convictions.

One of Hamasaki’s remarkable strengths is her soaring high notes that feel both strong and pleasing to the ear.

Set to an elegant triple-meter rhythm and a grand melody, this track portrays humanity’s quest for eternal truth—a truly moving piece that stirs the heart.

Song of the Circling StarsSakamoto Miu

Song of the Circling StarsSakamoto Miu

With Ryuichi Sakamoto as her father and Akiko Yano as her mother—truly a thoroughbred of the music world!—this track by Miu Sakamoto is included on her June 2016 album “Sing with me.” Speaking of her mother, Akiko Yano is a popular singer known for her distinctive high-pitched voice, and Miu Sakamoto, too, leaves an impression with a clear, translucent high register that in some ways evokes her mother.

While Akiko Yano feels very much like an “individualist,” Miu comes across as a more “classic” or “orthodox” type of singer.

This is a song where you can savor her gently penetrating high tones.

I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to hear a beautiful female vocal.

Flash GirlToukyou Jihen

Ringo Sheena is a singer-songwriter who uses a variety of vocal techniques, such as rolled R’s, scoops, and shouts.

The rock band Tokyo Jihen, formed in 2003 with her at its center, released “Senko Shoujo” in 2007—a track that fully showcases Sheena’s vocals.

In this number, she employs a technique that slightly distorts the high notes to give them a gritty edge, letting you clearly feel her one-of-a-kind individuality.
