Have you ever found yourself getting better at singing without even noticing, just by belting it out at karaoke? In fact, the songs you choose for practice can make a big difference in how quickly you improve! Songs that help you build vocal fundamentals, songs with easy-to-catch pitches, songs that expand your range, and songs that train your sense of rhythm—each type has its own benefits for practice.

By the way, the reason I learned to hit high notes was simply because I kept singing the same song over and over without giving up! In this article, we introduce a wide range of tracks that are perfect as karaoke practice songs—ones that naturally boost your singing skills while you have fun.

If you’re thinking, “I want to sing better!” be sure to use this as a reference!

Back Number’s hit song “Takane no Hanako-san,” a karaoke favorite, has a fairly wide vocal range from mid1 E to hi D, with the hi D appearing in every chorus.

The highest chest voice note is hi B, which appears three times throughout the song.

Since this part requires a mixed voice, identifying your breakpoint in advance is key to singing it well.

In addition, hi A appears multiple times, so depending on the singer’s vocal range, you may need to use mixed voice in the B-melody, D-melody, and chorus.

It seems this was the set piece for the 2011 (78th) NHK All-Japan School Music Competition, Junior High Division! The vocal range is quite wide, from A2 to C5.

The falsetto parts appear in the chorus.

The melody line is easy to follow, building nicely through a verse (A), pre-chorus (B), chorus, and final chorus.

First, the A section sits quite low, so be careful not to overuse your throat there.

If you watch choirs or singers’ facial expressions, you’ll notice their eyebrows and facial muscles are lifted quite a bit.

Simply lifting your facial muscles like this helps open the throat and makes singing a bit easier.

It also helps you transition smoothly from chest voice to falsetto.

In addition, make sure to fully support and release your breath on the high falsetto notes.

Aiming your voice straight up toward the top of your head makes falsetto easier to produce.

With just a small shift in awareness, the song becomes much easier to sing—give it a try!

Fu re te Fu re ruTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE

The B-side to “unravel,” which you could call TK’s signature song, is actually “Fu re te Fu re ru.” It features even higher notes and more explosive falsetto than “unravel,” and it’s one of my absolute favorites to sing at karaoke.

Rather than a clean falsetto, TK’s piercing, almost crying-scream falsetto stands out, so unless you can naturally hit high notes, it’s pretty tough to pull off… That said, it’s such a cool track that if you think of it as falsetto practice, I highly recommend it for rock lovers! It’s fine to start with a weak falsetto.

Just keep practicing using your breath over and over and gradually build your explosiveness—that’s the idea!

Released in June 2022, this song is sung as a duet by BAK and YO_CO.

It features beautifully resonating call-and-response and harmonies between their voices.

Since both singers primarily use falsetto, it’s perfect for when you want to sing a falsetto-based song.

Because the range is on the higher side, be careful not to strain your throat.

When practicing, try singing with the “ha” consonant series to unconsciously let the breath flow—it will make singing easier.

A particularly recommended method is to sing the entire lyrics using just “hi.” The “hi” sound makes humming easier and resonates in the head.

Start by pronouncing it lightly so the resonance happens in your head rather than your throat.

Your breath will flow naturally, and producing falsetto will become easier.

This is a song that keeps showcasing Iguchi’s beautiful high tones.

It’s a 2020 track used as the theme song for the NTV drama “A 35-Year-Old Girl.” Speaking of King Gnu, it’s a band where Tsuneta’s unique world and Iguchi’s high tones beautifully match.

There may not be many people who can sing it in the original key, but since our theme this time is falsetto, it’s meaningful to sing it in the original key! When you sing, instead of pushing your voice, imagine letting the breath flow and resonating in your head.

The melody line has stair-like parts that might be difficult, but once you can produce a stable falsetto, it’s actually easier to keep pitch than singing in chest voice.

That said, core strength is important too, so keep your lower abdomen engaged to prevent your body from wobbling.

It helps to sing with a sense of quick, explosive support—like “huh, huh”—to build that snap.

King Gnu is a band that has gained popularity for its highly original musicality.

While they have many tastefully crafted songs, they’re also known for having plenty of difficult ones.

Among their catalog, the track I especially recommend is Doron.

Known as the theme song for the film “Stolen Identity 2,” it has a gritty atmosphere and a fairly wide vocal range from mid1 A# to hi A#.

On top of that, the melodic leaps up and down are quite intense, but the most challenging parts are the chorus and the C section.

When the chorus and C section hit, the tempo jumps up all at once, leaving few breathing points; combined with the sharp rises and falls in pitch, it makes nailing the intonation extremely difficult.

Innocent BlueOmoinotake

Omoinotake’s track Innocent Blue, released on October 29, 2025.

Many of you may have first heard the song through its use in the commercial for Bourbon Alfort Mini Chocolate.

The song’s vocal range spans from mid1 D to hi D, which is quite wide for a male vocal.

While the pitch movement is extremely dynamic, the BPM itself is a relaxed 118.

However, because there are many sustained high notes, the difficulty can definitely be rated at A to S level.
