Que sera, seraMrs. GREEN APPLE
This is Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s seventh digital-only single, released in April 2023.
It was written as the theme song for the ABC TV/TV Asahi serial drama “Even If It’s Just Sunday Night.” From the middle section to the ending, the song features arrangements that develop quite dramatically.
Vocalist Motoki Omori responds to this dramatic arrangement by skillfully switching between various vocal techniques and expressions—most notably the falsetto (head voice), which is the focus of this piece—beautifully bringing the song to life.
Be sure to listen closely to the song’s fine nuances and vocal delivery.
Aspiring singers and those looking to improve at karaoke will surely find a lot to gain!
HONEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
When it comes to artists that men in their 40s often listened to, doesn’t L’Arc~en~Ciel come to mind? This time, I’d like to introduce “HONEY.” One of my students practiced this song too.
L’Arc~en~Ciel’s vocal range is surprisingly on the lower side.
I think it’s easy to sing for people with a typical male range plus the ability to use falsetto.
The chorus is very clear and uplifting, so it’s easy to add dynamics, and rock fans will love it! On the flip side, the key might be how to keep the low notes from getting muffled.
If you’re not used to a certain range, both low and high notes can require a lot of breath.
When singing low notes, imagine releasing a slow, steady mass of air—your body will resonate more easily and you’ll hear your own voice better.
And above all, the groove matters! It also makes it easier to project your voice, so sing with energy and get into the groove!
＝ (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.
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!
globeYonezu Kenshi
This is Kenshi Yonezu’s 14th single, released in July 2023.
It was reportedly written as the theme song for the film “The Boy and the Heron” (How Do You Live?).
Over a simple yet grand piano-centered backing track, you can fully enjoy Yonezu’s gentle yet powerful vocals.
In particular, the use of a chest-leaning mixed voice in the A section should be very instructive for those aiming to master mixed voice.
For the upper-middle range of the vocal melody, try singing so that the sound resonates broadly against your upper palate.
poofKing Gnu
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.
