[Feels Great to Listen To!] Popular Songs by Female Artists with Captivating High Notes (21–30)

ADAMASLiSA

LiSA 『ADAMAS』-MUSiC CLiP YouTube EDIT ver.-
ADAMASLiSA

This is LiSA’s 14th single, released on December 12, 2018.

It was also used as the opening theme for the TV anime Sword Art Online: Alicization — Alicization Beginning arc.

It’s an uptempo rock number with a lavish arrangement that fully showcases LiSA’s powerful vocals.

The powerful high notes she delivers in this track are highly captivating—you can enjoy her soaring high tones that resonate endlessly without any strain on the throat.

PrologueUru

[Official] Uru “Prologue” YouTube ver. — Theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “Chugakusei Nikki (Junior High School Diary)”
PrologueUru

This is Uru’s seventh single, which was released for digital download in October 2018 and then on CD in December of the same year.

It also served as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “Chugakusei Nikki” (Diary of a Middle School Teacher).

The song is striking for its gentle singing that makes effective use of mixed voice and falsetto, delivering a highly soothing, healing effect.

Even with the tender, soft vocal tone, the sound never becomes thin; you can clearly feel the solid core of her voice, which showcases her high level of skill as a singer.

FACES PLACESglobe

This is globe’s ninth single overall, released on March 5, 1997.

Globe is well known as Tetsuya Komuro’s unit, and among Komuro’s song catalog—famed for its love of high notes—this track is said to be the highest-pitched of all.

It uses singer KEIKO’s maximum chest-voice range without any falsetto, making it a song she reportedly cannot perform unless she is in perfect condition.

Re-listening to it to write this piece, I was overwhelmed by the ferocious high-tone vocals.

I can only imagine how intense the recording session must have been.

A Japanese female singer, CHiCO, and the creator team HoneyWorks form a unit, and their song Sekai wa Koi ni Ochiteiru is their first single, released in August 2014, serving as the opening theme for the anime Ao Haru Ride.

While the track doesn’t feature overwhelmingly high tones, I thought the way she skillfully and effectively uses falsetto in the upper register to let the sound (voice) flow out is excellent.

You’ll understand if you try singing it yourself: switching your voice so smoothly and expressing that soft, airy release is actually quite difficult.

As a song, it’s upbeat, catchy, and easy to sing, making it one of the best choices for practicing transitions between falsetto and chest voice.

Definitely give it a try!

Rejected-Love GirlSayuri

Sanketsu Shoujo Sayuri “Furaregai Girl” MV (Short ver) – Song Provided & Produced by RADWIMPS’ Yojiro Noda
Rejected-Love GirlSayuri

It’s Sayuri’s 4th single, released in December 2016.

Yojiro Noda from RADWIMPS provided the song.

It’s a comfortable, medium-tempo track crafted to really bring out Sayuri’s distinctive charm—her somewhat idiosyncratic, high-pitched voice.

Although her vocal tone and singing style are quite unique, if you try to imitate her when singing this at karaoke, it probably won’t turn out very well.

So be careful not to do that; instead, make sure to interpret the song in your own way before you sing it.

BeautifulSuperfly

This is a song that fully showcases the appeal of high notes.

With a powerful message, its lyrics that boost self-esteem resonate deeply.

It is included on the album “WHITE” and was released in May 2015.

It was chosen as the theme song for a TBS drama and was also used in a JAL commercial.

Shiho Ochi’s overwhelming vocal prowess and the exhilarating sound are distinctive.

It’s recommended for those who want to cherish their individuality or need a positive boost.

It will surely give courage and hope to everyone who listens.

Promise of RomanceIkuta Rira

A track from Rira Ikuta’s second mini-album “Jukebox,” released in March 2020.

It’s a pop song with a light, very easy-to-listen-to melody that perfectly showcases Ikuta’s clear, high notes.

Her high tones are far from one-dimensional—she skillfully switches between chest voice, mixed voice, and falsetto, and each is delivered with a wonderfully gentle timbre, which is particularly noteworthy.

Highly recommended for those who love female vocals with soft high tones!
