I want to sing songs that use a lot of falsetto. Songs that are good for practicing falsetto at karaoke (61–70)
Feverish DemonI wish it could stay midnight forever.
The vocal range is wide, from A#3 to E5, and the song sits generally on the higher side, but it’s easier to stay on pitch if you sing gently with a falsetto-like tone! However, relying only on falsetto can make you wobbly and tired, so be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing and core support to keep your voice steady.
The rap-like section before the chorus is a cool highlight, so have fun singing it while riding the rhythm! It’s a slightly fast song, so don’t forget to take breaths and give falsetto a try!
Spring ThiefYorushika
This is the seventh digital-only single by the Japanese rock band Yorushika, released in January 2021.
It was used as a theme song for Taisei Corporation’s TV commercial.
The contrast is striking between the A and B sections, which are arranged mainly in the lower register, and the chorus, where the vocals shine with expertly used high falsetto.
That airy falsetto singing strongly brings out the “spring-like” mood suggested by the song’s title.
With its flowing, smooth melody, it’s also one of the best pieces for practicing transitions between vocal registers, so be sure to practice it well and try selecting it at karaoke.
UniverseOfficial HIGE DANDism
This is the fifth single by the popular piano pop band Official HIGE DANDism (hereafter, HIGE DAN), released in February 2021.
The crystal-clear singing voice of vocalist Fujihara, which could be called HIGE DAN’s trademark, is as captivating as ever in this track.
It matches perfectly with the band’s stylish, mood-rich sound, bringing out the song’s appeal to the fullest.
The way he switches seamlessly between chest voice, mixed voice, and falsetto throughout the song is truly impressive.
He delivers stunning high notes in chest voice, and by contrasting them with his gentle falsetto, he achieves outstanding vocal expression.
Just... I miss youEXILE
This is EXILE’s 19th single, released in December 2005.
EXILE’s ATSUSHI is one of those singers whose soft, gentle falsetto is highly acclaimed.
In this track as well, his signature falsetto (mixed voice, head voice) is on full display.
I feel that the unique sensuality of falsetto often comes through even more with male singers like ATSUSHI than with female singers whose natural range is higher.
Although the song is sung mainly in mixed voice, the brief moments of head voice that appear in the track feel especially alluring.
Cry BabyOfficial HIGE DANDism
A digital distribution-only single by Official HIGE DANDism, released on May 7, 2021.
The song was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Tokyo Revengers.
Vocalist Satoshi Fujihara, known for his strikingly piercing high tones, showcases a highly versatile vocal performance in this track—centered on a powerful, soaring high register, while skillfully switching to softer falsetto as needed.
Reproducing this in karaoke may be a bit challenging for most people, but as a resource for mastering various high-tone vocal techniques and expressions, it’s an excellent choice.
Give it a try!
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Yo Hitoto
The atmosphere born from her distinctive voice captivates everyone in an instant.
Many people list her song as one they want to sing, right? She doesn’t actually use falsetto all that much, and the melody can be carried in chest voice, but if you skillfully use a clear falsetto at karaoke, you can really savor what makes this song great! This song is called a classic for a reason—it’s a beautiful piece that will always be loved by everyone.
Brilliant RainKing Gnu
This is the sixth digital-download-only single by the Japanese mixture rock band King Gnu, released in July 2022.
It’s a song that starts right off with the chorus, and from the very beginning you can fully enjoy vocalist Daiki Tsuneta’s wonderful falsetto.
Even on a first listen, you’ll likely notice how his clear falsetto further enhances the song’s refreshing feel.
In the latter half, where the vocals are delivered more powerfully, the solid use of falsetto remains effective as well, so it might be interesting to study those parts too!
