[Feels Great to Listen To!] Popular Songs by Female Artists with Captivating High Notes (31–40)
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.
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!
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.
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).
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.

A gentle feelingChara
Chara’s 14th single, released in April 1997.
Chara is popular for her very distinctive voice and singing style.
Speaking from my position as a vocal coach, I can’t help but feel that her singing isn’t necessarily “correct” in a technical sense, so to be honest there’s a part of me that doesn’t want to fully acknowledge it.
Even so, once a song is released, those very “incorrect” aspects can end up becoming part of the singer’s charm—that’s the fascinating thing about singing and music! In a way, it’s a very honest song, and for those who like this slightly high, characteristic voice, it’s truly an irresistible track.
That said, even if you sing it at karaoke, please don’t try to imitate her too closely!
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.
