[Feels Great to Listen To!] Popular Songs by Female Artists with Captivating High Notes (41–50)
God of RomanceHirose Kōmi
It was Kohmi Hirose’s third single, released in December 1993.
Used in commercials for the ski shop Alpen, it became a huge hit and has, in a sense, become a staple winter song.
When you think of high notes, you think of Kohmi Hirose—and vice versa.
Her bright, energetic, and powerful high-tone voice is formidable and showcases a strong foundation in vocal technique.
In 2016, she released a rearranged version of “Romance no Kamisama” titled “Romance no Kamisama 2016,” with the overall arrangement updated and the key raised by a semitone.
She even said it took her two years to be able to sing it and that she couldn’t raise the key any higher.
The very fact that she attempted such a production speaks to her confidence in her high register and her spirit of challenge.
It’s truly a high-tone voice that makes you feel energized and refreshed just by listening.
To sing this, proper vocal training and correct technique are absolutely essential!

remainingYoshizawa Kayoko
This is singer-songwriter Kayoko Yoshizawa’s second single, released in October 2017.
The pronunciation of the lyrics and other aspects are a bit distinctive—perhaps even quirky—so listeners may be divided on that point.
However, as a song that makes effective use of a female high register and falsetto, it offers a lot to learn from in various ways, making it a track aspiring singers might want to pay attention to.
When you sing it, take cues from how the falsetto is used, but be careful not to slip into imitating her outright.
MisterYOASOBI
A digital-only single by YOASOBI, released on February 16, 2022.
Ikura, the singer of YOASOBI, is a wonderful vocalist with a radiant voice rich in high overtones.
In this song, “Mr.,” which I’m introducing here, she showcases a wide array of high notes, especially in the chorus.
For women aiming to become high-tone singers, simply practicing the chorus of this track can be highly beneficial.
Try practicing to produce straight, freely extending high notes without constricting your throat!
Just You and IAmuro Namie
This is a song by Namie Amuro, one of Japan’s most iconic female singers, who created numerous hits such as “CAN YOU CELEBRATE?” and “Hero,” and retired in 2018 to much public regret.
It was released in 2017 and is also her final single before retirement.
Her powerful yet pure, transparent voice is truly moving.
It’s a message song that teaches us the happiness of being able to be with someone special.
TrustHamasaki Ayumi
This is a song by Ayumi Hamasaki, a female singer whose singing, dancing, and fashion all draw attention.
It was released in 1998 as her third single.
Its use in a commercial became a hot topic, and that year it won awards including the Japan Cable Radio Awards’ New Artist Prize.
As one of her signature songs, it has long been supported by fans.
Some listeners may even feel a sense of nostalgia when they hear it.
First LoveUtada Hikaru
This is an early signature song by Hikaru Utada, a singer who has remained at the forefront of Japan’s music scene for many years.
Released in 1999 as the title track of her debut album, it was later issued as a single.
Since it was the theme song for the drama “Majo no Joken” (Forbidden Love), it’s likely a nostalgic piece for those who watched it.
A moving masterpiece of Japanese pop ballads.
Return to MyselfHamada Mari
Mari Hamada’s 9th single, released in April 1989.
She debuted in the HM/HR scene with the image of being something like LOUDNESS’s little sister, but starting around the time this song became a hit, she began singing beyond the confines of HM/HR and, in my view, earned recognition as a female rock singer.
That said, her powerful high tones carry enough presence to clearly reflect her HM/HR roots, showcasing her high caliber as a vocalist.
If you like female vocals with piercingly clear high notes, this is a track I highly recommend!
