From songs you can tackle casually to ones that help you step up gradually, you’re sure to find options that let you practice enjoyably within your vocal range!
I want to sing songs with a lot of falsetto. Please suggest karaoke songs that are good for practicing falsetto (1–10).
PlatformNEW!Uru
Uru is known for her delicate, airy vocals.
“Platform” was released on October 15, 2025, and is used as the opening theme for the TV anime Eternal Twilight.
Uru’s songs are generally sung with lots of breath and a falsetto-based approach, making them perfect when you want to sing in falsetto! Because “Platform” has a brighter tone, the falsetto isn’t as obvious as in some of her other tracks, but it’s sung with a strengthened, falsetto-like voice.
Singing with a similar technique might be a bit advanced.
But don’t worry! If you keep practicing using plenty of breath when producing sound, you’ll gradually be able to sing with more strength.
Aim for that clear, transparent vocal quality!
Mirror feat. Kosuke SaitoNEW!Leo Ieiri
It was released for streaming on October 8, 2025, and was written as the theme song for the NTV Wednesday drama “ESCAPE: It Was Supposed to Be a Kidnapping.” It’s a collaboration between Leo Ieiri and Kosuke Saito, the guitarist-vocalist of UNISON SQUARE GARDEN and TenTwenty.
Despite the very high vocal range, both of their voices soar in the same register, and the result is truly beautiful.
It’s wonderful as a solo, of course, but if possible you’ll want to sing it as a male-female duet! That said, finding a man who can sing this high is no easy task.

When you sing it, try to focus on using your breath and producing a strong tone.
If you aim to resonate in your head while you phonate, you’ll gradually get closer to the right sound.
Core strength matters, too!
ActorNEW!Lila Ikuta
This song, written and composed by Rira Ikuta, is used as the ending theme for the TV anime SPY×FAMILY Season 3.
Rira Ikuta, known as the vocalist of YOASOBI, is famous for her clear, translucent voice.
“Actor” features a melody line that isn’t too difficult and a range that isn’t overly high.
It’s easier to memorize and sing compared to other songs! When you listen to it, the verse sits quite low… I recommend opening your throat with a slightly surprised expression and singing as if you’re letting the breath flow.
In the chorus, it might work to sing mostly in head voice/falsetto.
However, since it’s a bright-sounding song, you’ll want to avoid a weak falsetto.
Try to sing with the image of constantly resonating in the head and firmly projecting your breath as voice!
＝ (feat. YO_CO)NEW!BAK
Released in June 2022, this song is performed as a duet by BAK and YO_CO.
It beautifully showcases their call-and-response and overlapping vocals.
Since both singers primarily use head voice, it’s perfect for those who want to sing head-voice songs.
Because the range is on the higher side, be careful not to strain your throat.
When practicing, try singing with “h”-sounds to naturally release breath; this will make it easier to sing.
A particularly recommended method is to sing all the lyrics using “hi.” The “hi” sound makes humming easier and resonates in the head.
Start by pronouncing it lightly so that it resonates in your head rather than your throat.
Your breath will flow more naturally, and producing head voice will become easier.
A three-penny novelNEW!King 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 meNEW!Mrs. 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!
FlowerNEW!Kousuke Atari
Takao Nakashima, known for his distinctive musical style that blends island-music elements with pop, has a unique sound.
It’s said that “Hana” was written by Naotaro Moriyama with Nakashima’s vocal timbre and worldview in mind.
My students practice this song too, and every time I listen, I think, “What a beautiful piece!” Nakashima’s voice has an airy openness, and his transitions into falsetto are completely seamless—so beautiful.
The overall range of Hana is E3 to B4, which is quite singable even in chest voice, but since we have the chance, let’s also use falsetto to bring out the bittersweet emotion.
If falsetto is difficult for you, start by singing gently without tensing up.
Take a full breath and sing with the image of projecting your voice right in front of you.
To make the switch to falsetto in the chorus smoother, it also helps to keep your facial muscles lifted throughout.
