Green Yellow SocietyMela
Ryokuoushoku Shakai is a four-piece co-ed pop-rock band.
Their vocalist, Haruko Nagaya, has such a distinctive voice that once you hear it, it sticks in your head and won’t let go! Their 2020 release “Mela!” is a dance-rock tune that’s tough to sing, with rapid-fire lyrics and repeated high notes.
In the high sections, the head voice and chest voice switch quickly, and I’m in awe of how smoothly Nagaya sings through those parts.
The rhythm is also very distinctive, and it’s impressive how she never misses even the tiniest phrases.
LIES GOES ONMay’n
Not only as a singer, but also as a voice actress and musical theater performer, May’n is active on many fronts.
The song introduced here, “LIES GOES ON,” was released in August 2023 as her 21st single.
Even in this up-tempo track, you can fully enjoy her powerful and beautifully resonant high-toned voice! Simply analyzing how she switches between various high tones in different sections offers plenty to learn, so it’s a track I highly recommend that aspiring female singers give a listen to at least once.
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.
The Kouga Ninja ScrollsOnmyoza
This was Onmyo-za’s 10th single, released in April 2005.
It was used as the opening theme for the UHF TV anime “Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls,” marking Onmyo-za’s first anime tie-in song.
Now, as for Onmyo-za’s singer Kuroneko: in the powerful sections she sings in a style fairly typical of Japanese female metal vocalists, but what’s truly noteworthy is her gentle tone and delivery in the softer parts.
The contrast with the consistently intense metal backing is exquisitely beautiful.
Moreover, the way Kuroneko herself creates contrast between the powerful chorus sections and her own vocal approach is nothing short of masterful.

Dear, boyHump Back
This is the first single (their major-label debut) from the Japanese three-piece girls’ band Hump Back, released in June 2018.
It’s a work where you can enjoy very straight-up girls’ rock, and even if you set aside the high-register vocals and such, it’s a song that can really put you in a lively mood.
The vocalist, Momoko Hayashi, has quite an intriguing voice.
At first listen, she might give the impression of a typical vocalist from a girls’ rock band, but if you listen closely, you can sense a certain looseness in her delivery even as she sings powerfully.
(In this case, by “looseness” I don’t mean the kind of relaxation recommended for proper vocal technique, just to be clear.) I feel this is especially noticeable in parts like the A verse of this song.
Thanks to this relaxed vocal expression, the chorus—driven by high notes and a straightforward attack—comes to life even more.
From the standpoint of studying vocals, I found both the song and the band very interesting.
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!
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.
