[Feels Great to Listen To!] Popular Songs by Female Artists with Captivating High Notes (41–50)
Your wish makes the world shine.MISIA
With her rich, five-octave vocal range, MISIA is often hailed as a diva representing Asia.
Her 52nd single, “Kimi no Negai ga Sekai wo Kagayakasu” (“Your Wish Lights Up the World”), is a dreamy track selected as the Japanese theme song for Tokyo DisneySea’s “Believe! Sea of Dreams.” Her voice, clear yet soulful, has the power to draw listeners into a world of fantasy.
It’s an emotional number, with powerful high notes that stir the heart.
beetle (specifically, a rhinoceros beetle)aiko
This is Aiko’s fourth major-label single, released in November 1999.
Since Aiko herself isn’t particularly known for showcasing a high head voice, most of the song sits in a fairly typical female vocal range centered on the mid to upper-mid register.
However, in the last part of the chorus—where the song’s most distinctive, leap-filled melodic line appears—you can hear a very beautiful and effective falsetto.
Singing just that one standout high note in falsetto might sound simple, but it’s surprisingly difficult to pull off.
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.
moonlightOnitsuka Chihiro
It’s the theme song for the drama “Trick” and became a major hit.
This signature song by Chihiro Onitsuka, a singer-songwriter from Miyazaki Prefecture, was released in 2000 as her second single.
Her vocals are powerful yet carry a certain shadowy quality that is captivating.
You can feel an energy that seems to awaken emotions sleeping deep in your heart.
It’s a classic that has been covered by many well-known artists.
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.
If I could forgive youieiri reo
This was Leo Ieiri’s 14th single, released in August 2018.
It was also the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Absolute Zero: Preventive Crime Investigation.” Leo Ieiri is known for her beautiful, gentle high tones, and songs with a wistful melody like this one are among those that make the most of her vocal timbre.
The most important point when singing this song is how softly you can produce “relaxed high notes,” even at the top of your range.
You can’t capture the atmosphere with forceful high notes.
In that sense, it’s a very difficult song to sing, but it’s one I highly recommend tackling if you want to master high notes.
Gentle CometYOASOBI
A song by the Japanese music duo YOASOBI, released digitally in January 2021.
It was also included as a coupling track on the single “Kaibutsu,” released in March of the same year.
The song served as the ending theme for the second season of the TV anime BEASTARS.
Featuring a simple arrangement with a comfortable medium-to-slow tempo, it fully showcases vocalist ikura’s gentle singing voice and highlights her appeal as a singer.
Her use of high notes with a well-blended mix voice and falsetto effectively enhances the song’s atmosphere.
Those who prefer piercingly high tones might find it a bit understated, but it’s highly recommended for anyone looking for a gentle female vocal track.
