Because you are hereUru
This is a digital-only single by Uru, released in February 2020.
It was reportedly written as the theme song for TBS’s Sunday drama “Ship of Theseus.” It’s a beautiful ballad featuring an acoustic piano and a striking symphonic arrangement.
While there aren’t many conspicuous falsetto passages in this track, if you listen closely to Uru’s vocals in the high notes, such as in the chorus, you’ll understand how crucial the subtle switching and nuanced use of different vocal registers are to expressive singing.
If you master this song for karaoke, you’ll surely gain a great deal.
Dancer in the NightSakanaction
Their songs, which captivate those around them with a mysterious worldview, are also loved for their delicate vocals.
It’s a popular track to belt out in falsetto at karaoke.
The song is difficult, with sustained high notes, but that’s exactly what makes it so cool—and why it’s so popular.
It’s up-tempo and catchy, the kind you want to play on repeat.
Which means you’ll end up wanting to sing it over and over, too.
AwA AwALimited Express
Chotokkyu is a boy group popular among young female listeners.
Their appeal lies in performances that rival K-pop groups, and they consistently turn out hits with catchy musicality.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for its beautiful falsetto is AwA AwA.
It features a slightly Japanese-influenced, poppy melody, and in parts of the track there are very high falsetto lines.
It’s the perfect song for anyone who wants to enjoy beautiful falsetto in a fun way.
mysteryGen Hoshino
It’s Gen Hoshino’s 12th single, released on April 27, 2021 as a digital-only track.
It was reportedly written as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama ‘Kikazaru Koi ni wa Riyuu ga Atte’ (There’s a Reason for Dressing Up Love).
Gen Hoshino’s voice has a captivating quality in the mid-to-high range, and his vocal skill and expressiveness are fully on display in this song as well.
He delivers a performance that deftly employs gentle, high falsetto tones.
You could even say it’s an ideal piece for practicing mixed voice to falsetto transitions.
I'm coming to see you now.Uru
A track from Uru’s second album “Orion Blue,” released in March 2020.
She’s often introduced as a singer with a beautiful falsetto, but across the song as a whole there are many parts that seem to be sung in mixed voice.
The so-called “falsetto” only appears for a brief moment in the song when she gently sings the high notes, but the way she uses that soft, sigh-like falsetto in that instant is truly outstanding.
Swiftly and appropriately switching vocal production like this is quite difficult.
From the way she uses mixed voice in the chorus and other sections as well, you can tell she’s a singer with very advanced vocal and singing technique.
It’s also a highly recommended song to use for practicing falsetto production, including head voice and mixed voice.
MapleSpitz
This is the 19th single by the Japanese rock band Spitz, released in July 1998 as a double A-side with the coupling track “Spica,” and it was used as the opening theme for TBS’s COUNT DOWN TV.
It’s a very relaxed ballad, but you can enjoy vocalist Masamune Kusano’s highly resonant falsetto, especially in the high notes of the chorus.
It seems likely he’s using a falsetto with a strong chest component—something close to what’s commonly called mixed voice—but in any case, it’s an excellent example of a male vocalist making effective use of falsetto.
Be sure to listen closely to the original and practice along.
BittersweetNolzy
Nolzy is a multi-artist who has gained popularity for his music that adapts R&B and neo-soul into J-pop, paired with cynical lyrics.
He’s known for his stylish tracks, so many of you may already be familiar with him.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is Bittersweet.
The standout falsetto in this track is, without a doubt, the falsetto toward the end of the chorus.
It’s a long, very high note, packed with tremendous power and beauty.
