ColorSakamoto Maaya
This is the 29th single by Maaya Sakamoto—who is active as a voice actress, singer, and actress—released on July 25, 2018.
Sakamoto is what you’d call an anison (anime song) singer, and her slightly cute yet powerful vocal delivery seems to embody everything that’s expected in recent anime music.
Not only in the high parts of the vocal melody but also throughout other sections, she appears to create that quintessential “anison” feel by singing with a voice rich in high-order overtones.
I think this track offers a lot that aspiring singers in the anime and game fields can learn from.
The Day After EternityAdo
A perfect song has arrived for those who admire the captivating high-tone voices of female singers! Ado’s moving vocals shine in this track, a poignant ballad centered on themes of love and heartbreak.
Released digitally on White Day in March 2022, it was her first digital single following her debut album “Kyogen.” The song symbolically portrays memories of lost love and the flow of everyday life, leaving a deep impression on listeners.
It’s an ideal pick for anyone who has experienced the joys and sorrows of romance, and for those who enjoy songs with cinematic storytelling.
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.
WithIkuta Rira
This is the 10th digital-only single by Rira Ikuta, who is also active as ikura, the singer of the music duo YOASOBI, released in October 2023.
It’s crafted as a beautiful slow ballad that lets you enjoy her very lovely falsetto right from the beginning.
Her gentle high tones in the chorus and other parts are also outstanding.
While YOASOBI’s vocal parts are often treated with a vocaloid-like, mechanical processing, this solo work lets you enjoy a very organic vocal.
It might be nice to appreciate that contrast alongside YOASOBI’s songs.

A hundred flowers in full bloomIkuta Rira
A powerful, soul-stirring song by Lila Ikuta that sings of the hope found beyond hardship.
Released in January 2025 as the opening theme for season 2 of the anime “The Apothecary Diaries,” it brilliantly captures the inner world of the protagonist, Maomao, living in a lavish yet intrigue-filled inner palace.
The dramatic progression combined with Ikuta’s characteristically translucent vocals deepens your immersion in the story.
It’s a piece that gives a gentle push to anyone feeling lost in life.
Taken as a whole, the track radiates Ikuta’s signature sparkle.
The rhythm is very straightforward too, and you may find your body moving to it without even noticing.
guidelinesUru
This is Uru’s fifth digital-only single, released in May 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Kazama Kimichika: Kyōjō 0.” It’s a beautiful ballad that lets you fully savor Uru’s gentle high-tone voice—remarkably clear yet warm and soft.
Coupled with production that gives the vocals a slightly deeper reverb, the song superbly conveys its world.
There aren’t many singers who can express a song with such warm high notes, are there?
idolYOASOBI
It became a massive hit after being chosen as the opening theme for the anime Oshi no Ko.
YOASOBI’s vocalist ikura has a captivating high-tone voice with richly appealing higher overtones, and when combined with the sound design of Ayase, who started out as a Vocaloid producer, I think they’ve succeeded in expressing a unique world that is neither purely organic nor simply inorganic.
