[Feels Great to Listen To!] Popular Songs by Female Artists with Captivating High Notes (21–30)
EverythingMISIA
This is MISIA’s seventh single, released on October 25, 2000.
It became a huge hit as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Yamato Nadeshiko.” Among female-vocal tracks from the 2000s, it is said to have recorded the highest sales.
The arrangement makes abundant use of live strings, resulting in a very luxurious ballad, and within that opulent backing track, MISIA’s protean vocals can be enjoyed to the fullest.
Focusing solely on the theme of this article—high notes—her chest voice, mixed voice, and falsetto are exquisitely deployed according to the expressive demands of the melody, offering a colorful vocal performance that could justifiably be called a “showcase of high-tone singing.” It also serves perfectly as practice material for various high-tone techniques (though the difficulty is quite high), so for those aiming to become more advanced singers, I highly recommend practicing this song until you can master it.
FFlower
A track included on the five-member female dance & vocal group Flower’s third album “F,” released in March 2019.
Flower’s vocalist Reina Washio is a singer whose beautifully pure falsetto is especially striking.
Her natural voice already carries many captivating high overtones, and the falsetto further amplifies that allure.
She delivers this gentle ballad with a wonderfully soft and tender touch.
It’s a song I highly recommend to anyone who loves female falsetto voices, and it’s also an ideal piece for women to use when practicing falsetto.

Midnight Chasing the MoonAoi Eiru
Eir Aoi’s 16th single, released in August 2019.
It also served as the opening theme for the TV anime Granbelm.
Among singers who showcase high notes, quite a few have thin-sounding voices, but Eir Aoi never loses vocal body even in the upper register—that’s fantastic.
You can really sense her strong fundamental skills as a singer in this track.
The song itself is a very cool, uptempo number, so I especially recommend it to fans of female-vocal rock.
It could also be great for a female-fronted band to cover.
SunYorushika
This Yorushika song begins with the sight of a butterfly’s wings and weaves in depictions of grand natural settings like deserts and the open sea.
Its beautiful imagery and introspection about one’s existence are exquisitely balanced, leaving a deep emotional impact on listeners.
The piece was written specifically as the theme song for the film “Shoutai,” released in November 2024, expressing the movie’s worldview through music.
Blending Yorushika’s distinctive musicality with poetic lyrics, this work is recommended when you want to reflect on nature and life.
With lyrics that resonate and a beautiful melody, it’s sure to lead you to new discoveries.
AnswerIkuta Rira
Released on March 9, 2021, this is Lila Ikuta’s third digital-only single under the name Ikura, who is also active in the music duo YOASOBI.
The song is a tender, ballad-style piece, and Ikuta’s gentle vocals blend beautifully with its mellow atmosphere.
Even in the chorus, which features many high-tone melodies, her singing never turns timid nor overly edgy; instead, she delivers a highly appealing falsetto performance.
It’s a track that truly showcases Ikuta’s exceptional abilities as a vocalist.
I’m proudKahara Tomomi
This is a song by Tomomi Kahala, who began as an idol and has been widely acclaimed as a singer and actress.
It was released in 1996 as her third single.
Selling over one million copies, it’s one of the defining works of the Japanese music scene in the 1990s.
The poignant melody and her vocals fit perfectly.
Incidentally, Tetsuya Komuro wrote, composed, and arranged the song.
frecklesJUDY AND MARY
This was JUDY AND MARY’s ninth single, released in February 1996.
It was used as the first opening theme for the Fuji TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story and became a huge hit, selling 1.2 million copies.
Now, as for YUKI’s vocals from Judy Mary, there’s quite a noticeable difference between her current solo work and her band era.
In her solo career, she often uses a softer tone centered on mixed voice, whereas during the band days she sang high notes with a very projecting chest voice and frequent use of falsetto.
Her natural voice is likely very distinctive to begin with.
Especially in the band-era songs, the individuality—or perhaps the strong flavor—might not be to everyone’s taste.
That said, she’s not only highly recommended for those who want to enjoy a female high-tone voice, but also an artist female singers aiming for high notes should definitely study and practice along with.
First, give it a listen as a work where you can enjoy a bright and energetic female high-tone voice!
