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.

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.
A melody instead of a bouquetShimizu Shota
Shota Shimizu’s signature song, “Hanataba no Kawari ni Melody o.” It’s a love ballad released on October 28, 2015, and served as the theme song for NHK’s Drama 10 “Designer Baby.” It’s hugely popular at karaoke; expressive emotion and delicate pitch control are the keys to a high score! The tempo is relaxed, so you have plenty of breath and can sing each phrase carefully, but if you pour in too much emotion, your pitch can actually waver.
So start by prioritizing accurate pitch and rhythm.
The vocal range is D#3 to C#5, which is a bit high for male singers.
How well you use falsetto and how you place the high notes in a comfortable spot will greatly affect how easy it feels to sing.
Some of my students strained by pushing chest voice too much on the high notes.
Make good use of falsetto!
town/cityDōmoto Tsuyoshi
Tsuyoshi Domoto’s signature song “Machi.” From start to finish, even though he sings quietly, his voice keeps resonating, doesn’t it? That’s proof that it’s resonating through the body rather than just the throat—nasal resonance is very important.
The term “nasal resonance” might sound difficult, but it’s basically what I always call “humming” in my articles.
To put it simply, it’s like humming a tune through your nose.
If you love singing, don’t you often find yourself humming without thinking about it? In fact, once you learn to use your breath properly while humming, it becomes a shortcut to singing well.
The key is not to force sound out of your throat, but to use your breath to make the sound resonate in your head.
Once you get used to it, try opening your mouth and forming words while keeping the resonance in the same place.
You can listen to his music on streaming services under the name .ENDRECHERI., so be sure to check it out!
SharonOfisharu Higedan Dism
A song released in July 2024 and the theme song for the drama “Mountain Doctor.” The lyrics portray conflicts in family life and everyday living, making it a track that’s easy to sing with emotion at karaoke.
Among Higedan’s songs, I feel the melody line is relatively simple and easy to sing.
A student who wanted to practice falsetto and gentle singing chose this song, and since I like “Sharon,” there was a time when they worked hard on it as an assignment piece.
Since Fujihara-san basically sings it gently, I think it suits the mood if you place each note carefully and sing with delicate phrasing.
LADYYonezu Kenshi
This is Kenshi Yonezu’s fourth digital-only single, released in March 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for Georgia, a brand by Coca-Cola Japan.
Yonezu, known for his exceptional vocal ability and expressive singing, masterfully conveys the song using a wide range of high tones—from powerful high belts to soft falsetto.
For the average person, reproducing this in karaoke may be challenging; having just a high chest voice won’t be enough.
That said, it’s a track I’d love to see tenors and high-voiced male singers try.
In phrases that sit in the upper-mid to high range, try placing the sound against your upper palate; doing so should produce a voice rich in pleasing high overtones.
Give it a try.
