astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s third single, released in March 2001.
I think the most important point when singing this song boils down to how well you can reproduce the contrast between the light delivery in the A and B verses and the powerful delivery in the chorus.
In particular, in the A and B sections where the singing is light, if you simply reduce your vocal volume, your voice won’t carry to the listener.
So even if the expression is light and buoyant, practice producing a voice that never loses its core.
Blue HabitatKitanitatsuya
Released in July 2023, this is a single by Tatsuya Kitani—who performs as the bassist of the trio rock band sajou no hana and also works as a Vocaloid producer under the name Konnichiwa Tanita-san.
It was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory/Premature Death.
The most crucial aspect when singing this song is how smoothly you can switch between the high notes sung in falsetto, which appear throughout the track, and the parts sung in chest voice.
It’s an ideal piece for practicing and mastering this kind of “vocal register switching.”
KanadeSukima Suichi
This was Sukima Switch’s second single, released in March 2004.
It was used as an insert song in the film “Rough” and as the theme for Night 3 of Fuji TV’s four-night drama series “Sotsu Uta.” It’s a classic piano ballad that stayed on the charts for over 100 weeks.
Because it requires switching between a soft chest voice and falsetto, it’s one of the best pieces for practicing vocal control.
In the latter half, during the D section, the chest voice key rises, so be careful not to sing harshly there.
If your goal is solely to refine your vocal production, you can stop before that part and don’t need to sing the entire song.
festivalFuji Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s masterpiece “Matsuri.” While it makes full use of distinctly Japanese sounds, its arrangement throughout strongly evokes elements of Black music.
The key feature of this track is, above all, the abundance of vocal runs.
It’s not straight-up R&B, so the runs are simpler compared to authentic R&B, but even so, there’s plenty for Japanese listeners who aren’t used to Black music to learn from.
The vocal range itself isn’t especially wide, so this is a must-listen for anyone looking to hone their run/embellishment techniques.
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.
DarlingMrs. GREEN APPLE
Among Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s songs, “Darling” is especially beloved by many fans as a profoundly moving masterpiece.
The track features falsetto from the very beginning, and as the song progresses, the energy rises, with the falsetto’s impact growing in tandem.
Reproducing it at karaoke can be quite challenging, but because it includes plenty of exhilarating falsetto and mixed voice, why not add it to your karaoke repertoire?

ChessboardOfisharu Higedan Dism
This is Official HIGE DANDism’s sixth CD single, released in September 2023.
It was issued as a double A-side single with ‘Nichijou’ (Everyday).
Vocalist Satoshi Fujihara is renowned for his high-tone voice, and in this song he showcases exceptional vocal expression—freely shifting between soft, high falsetto and powerful, high chest voice depending on the section.
It’s an ideal reference track for how to use high notes, so if you’re aiming to be a singer, I highly recommend listening closely and studying it.
