WanteD! WanteD!Mrs. GREEN APPLE
This is Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s fifth single, released in August 2017.
It was selected as the opening theme for the drama “We Did It.” Motoki Omori, the vocalist of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, has a captivating voice rich in high overtones that gives a slightly boyish impression, and that charm is fully showcased in this song as well.
The section where mixed voice is used most extensively is likely the A melody, which is sung with a soft vocal approach.
Many people misunderstand “soft” singing as simply lowering volume, but instead of making it quieter, try practicing by adjusting the speed of your breath to create dynamic contrast.
Building this habit will serve as effective training for mixed voice.
For that kind of practice, the A melody of this song is an ideal material!
powder snowRemioromen
Remioromen’s seventh single, released in November 2005.
Remioromen’s Fujimaki is also a highly skilled user of mixed voice.
That makes this song an ideal practice piece.
In the chorus where the title is sung, many people might think he’s belting the high notes in chest voice, but it’s actually a chest-leaning mixed voice.
If you tighten your throat and try to belt the high notes, you won’t be able to hold such long tones.
Practice singing with the image of opening the back of your mouth and resonating in the nasal cavity.
Happy Endingback number
This is back number’s 16th single, released in November 2016.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film “My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday.” It’s been crafted into a very beautiful rock ballad.
Although I’m introducing it in this article with the theme of mixed voice, in reality there are very few parts in this song that are actually sung in mixed voice.
However, the singer skillfully switches and differentiates between chest voice and falsetto, especially in the high notes of the chorus, achieving an impressive vocal expression.
I thought that by mastering this switching technique, you would naturally become able to use mixed voice as well, so I decided to feature it here.
Listen closely to the original vocal track and study which parts use which type of vocal production, then practice accordingly.
I’m sure you’ll gain a lot from it.
SAY ITBALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE
BALLISTIK BOYZ is a boys group from LDH.
Rather than having the typical LDH style, their appeal lies in performance and musicality reminiscent of modern K-pop, earning overwhelming support from young women.
Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is SAY IT.
While there isn’t a clearly spotlighted mixed voice section, the vocals pass through mixed voice before transitioning to falsetto, making it a perfect piece for practice.
budKobukuro
Kobukuro’s 14th single, released in March 2007. It was also written as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad.” In Kobukuro’s songs, especially Kuroda’s part...
These will be very helpful for practicing the two points above. In his singing, the switch from chest voice is so smooth that it can be hard to notice, but it does give the impression of being a relatively throat-constricted mixed voice. Try singing with the intention of placing the sound as high as possible in the oral cavity—around the bridge of the nose.
proofflumpool
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!

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?
