ShadowI Don’t Like Mondays.
The rock band I Don’t Like Mondays., known for their sophisticated musicality, has been attracting attention.
Unlike the simple melodies often found in Japanese pop, their sound is complex and artistic, earning high praise from many fellow artists.
Among their tracks, the one I particularly recommend is “Shadow.” It brings together a wide range of vocal techniques—smoothly sung passages, powerful shouts, and a funky falsetto in the chorus—making it a must-check for anyone looking to improve their singing.
Even if you wait for a miracleSaucy Dog
Saucy Dog is a rock band wildly popular among young people.
Their signature feature is, without a doubt, vocalist Shinya Ishihara’s high-tone voice.
Their classic “Kiseki wo Mattetatte” is characterized by a dramatic melody centered on heartbreak.
The chorus sits extremely high, featuring frequent uses of mixed voice and falsetto.
In particular, the mixed voice passages appear at the most intense moments, so a certain degree of fullness and vocal power is required.
Ms. Hanako on a high pedestalback number
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.
＝ (feat. YO_CO)BAK
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.
A three-penny novelKing Gnu
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.
About meMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is known for their falsetto and mixed voice.
A song that perfectly fits this theme is definitely “Bokuno Koto”! It was chosen as the support song for the 97th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament.
When you sing it, if you switch between parts sung entirely in falsetto and parts delivered powerfully with mixed voice, you’ll add impact and really impress those around you.
One thing to watch out for when switching vocal qualities is that if you change the place where you produce the sound, your balance will suffer and the transitions between chest voice and falsetto won’t be smooth.
Keep focusing on producing the sound from the vocal folds at all times.
The impression of your voice changes depending on whether you project it forward from the vocal folds or direct it backward.
Try different approaches, and when you sing while sending your voice in the direction that feels easiest for you, you’ll be able to produce both falsetto and mixed voice comfortably!
Wherever you areONE OK ROCK
ONE OK ROCK’s signature song “Wherever you are.” Since it’s sung as a love song that vows eternity, you’ll want to use falsetto to really bring out the song’s appeal.
That said, the falsetto in “Wherever you are” appears mainly at the beginning.
The song builds toward the latter half, so about two-thirds is sung in chest voice.
If you sing the initial guitar-backed section firmly in falsetto to create contrast, it lands stylishly.
Many people who like rock and band music seem to want to sing ONE OK ROCK.
The high range can be a hurdle, but ballads let you cover the high notes with falsetto, so they’re recommended.
Open your throat and keep the breath flowing steadily!
