A band that enjoys overwhelming support from listeners in their teens and early twenties, Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.

They excel at songs that blend catchiness with emotional depth, and among such works, the one I especially recommend is Shade no Hokori wa Enchou.

There are many parts that use mixed voice, and with few rests throughout, the song demands strong endurance and precise pitch control in the high register.

Gift ~You Are the Madonna~Toki Asako

This is Asako Toki’s second single overall, released in September 2011.

She has a background as a jazz singer, and her vocal style clearly differs from that of a rock singer.

While she doesn’t belt out straightforward, piercing high notes, her soft high register—achieved through skillful shifts between falsetto and middle voice—is truly remarkable.

It’s also a recommended track for practicing falsetto and mixed voice.

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.
