[Feels Great to Listen To!] Popular Songs by Female Artists with Captivating High Notes (31–40)
Unwavering WishTamura Naomi
Naomi Tamura’s “Yuzurenai Negai” was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Magic Knight Rayearth, which aired in 1994.
For those who watched the anime at the time, many will likely remember it as a nostalgic song.
It became an unprecedented hit for an anime song back then, and Naomi Tamura even performed it on the Kouhaku Uta Gassen (NHK’s annual New Year’s Eve music show).
BlessingYOASOBI
Shukufuku, YOASOBI’s second single, was released digitally as the opening song for the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.
YOASOBI is a project duo that began in 2019, consisting of composer Ayase and vocalist ikura.
Shukufuku is a highly driving track that showcases ikura’s captivating high-tone vocals while also conveying a dark, hard-edged feel.
YOASOBI has produced many tie-in songs for novels, films, and anime, and Shukufuku was also released as a strictly limited edition.
The music video, directed by Nobutaka Yoda, is designed to link with the film’s opening visuals.
Merry XmasBoA
It’s BoA’s 15th single, released on December 1, 2004.
By now it’s become one of the go-to Christmas songs, hasn’t it? The high notes BoA delivers in the chorus are nothing short of outstanding.
She navigates a melody with a very wide range, skillfully shifting her vocal technique as needed to create a wonderful expressive performance.
Pay close attention to the timbre of her high notes in the chorus and how her vocal production changes.
It’s no wonder this has become a staple Christmas ballad!
If you want to make me your girlfriendKoresawa
Included on Koresawa’s second single “Joshi, Jokyo,” released in December 2015.
This article’s theme is “songs by female artists whose appeal lies in their high notes,” and while Koresawa’s voice is indeed very cute and girlish, it’s not as if the song features especially striking high tones (lol).
The melody sits within a very ordinary vocal range, but if this uniquely cute timbre hits your sweet spot, I think fans of female high notes will still really enjoy it.
The fun of singing is that even within the broad label of “high tones” or “high notes,” there are many different angles to appreciate.
It’s true you could say the performance leans on the natural charm of her voice, but if the song as a whole works, that’s OK! Alongside the cute lyrics, I think it’s a wonderful vocal performance that fully conveys the song’s world.
The place where we metSalyu
This is a digital single by Japanese singer Salyu, released in September 2019.
It’s a song written by Takeshi Kobayashi as the theme for the film “Go Away, Ultramarine,” starring Ryusei Yokohama.
I’ve introduced Salyu as a “female artist known for her high notes,” but she’s actually a singer whose charm lies more in a voice reminiscent of a boy’s before it changes.
She likely understands her own vocal qualities very well.
In the high-tone sections, her performance masterfully switches between her slightly distinctive falsetto and chest voice, depending on the expressive intent.
If you plan to sing it at karaoke, it’s best to study in advance which parts of the song use which type of voice.

Hello, Again ~A Place That Has Been There Since Long Ago~JUJU
This is JUJU’s 14th single, released on July 28, 2010.
The song is a cover of My Little Lover’s track, which originally came out in August 1995.
JUJU’s version was produced in two styles: a Straight Cover version and a Ballad version.
The one I’m introducing here is the Ballad version.
While My Little Lover’s original is a bright pop number, this remake brilliantly reimagines it as a ballad.
JUJU’s vocals are beautifully restrained and expressive, breathing new life into the arrangement—her expressiveness is truly remarkable.
Even in the high notes, which are the theme of this piece, she never sounds harsh, nor does she rely heavily on falsetto; she delivers them with effortless control.
TaxiSalyu
A download-only single by singer salyu, released in February 2021.
It’s a very gentle, mellow ballad that lets you fully enjoy salyu’s soft, tender vocals.
The singing in the chorus is especially remarkable—showcasing a beautifully executed soft high range that makes effective use of falsetto and mixed voice.
If you like female vocals with delicate, airy highs, this ballad will be a real treat.
It’s no exaggeration to call it a textbook example of tasteful falsetto use, making for a truly lovely performance.
