idolYOASOBI
This is YOASOBI’s 19th digital single, released in April 2023.
It’s used as the opening theme for the TV anime Oshi no Ko.
In the original track, the vocals feature a distinctly Vocaloid-like singing style and sound processing.
When singing this at karaoke, the key challenge is how well you can reproduce that “mechanical” feel.
I think it really comes down to that.
Study the original carefully and practice balancing the “human” feel in the spoken-like parts with the “mechanical” feel in the melodic sections.
Of course, precise pitch and rhythm are essential, which makes it quite difficult—but if you can pull it off, you’re sure to draw attention from everyone around you!
Your wish makes the world shine.MISIA
This is MISIA’s 52nd digital-only single, released in September 2022.
It was selected as the Japanese theme song for Tokyo DisneySea’s “Believe! Sea of Dreams.” From her debut in 1998, MISIA has been renowned for her exceptional vocal ability and expressive singing, and that voice is as impressive as ever in this track nearly a quarter-century later—if anything, it has become even more refined.
From gentle, whisper-like tones to powerful high notes, the song lets you fully enjoy the breadth of her vocals.
To sing this well, you not only need a variety of vocal techniques and solid vocal production, but also a deep understanding of the song as a whole and in its details—otherwise it’s quite challenging.
Precisely because it’s such a demanding piece, I highly encourage confident singers to give it a try!
About meSuperfly
Speaking of Superfly, isn’t she one of the quintessential artists for high-pitched songs? This track has been drawing attention because she covers Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s “Boku no Koto” in the original key.
With Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, you feel a sense of poignancy and fragility, whereas with Superfly, it comes across as forward-looking and straight-from-the-heart strength—that’s the fun of cover songs.
The soaring high notes rising to D5 in the chorus and the falsetto at G5 fit this theme perfectly, and it’s incredibly satisfying to listen to!
rock starAdo
Ado, who rose to prominence in her teens as a masked singer who never shows her bare face, has been taking the scene by storm with unstoppable momentum since her major-label debut in 2020.
Her unforgettable voice is supported by overwhelming power and a wide expressive range; both her forceful shouts and her falsetto carry a distinctive allure.
In April 2025, she released a track that clearly reflects the influence of Ringo Sheena, whom she has said she respects.
Featured on her first best-of album, “Ado no Best Album,” the song “Rockstar” fully showcases Ado’s aggressive side, built around a hard rock sound befitting its straightforward title.
While the song’s structure is relatively simple hard rock and the melody line isn’t overly complex, delivering it from Ado’s growling lows to her lustrous, powerful falsetto seems extremely challenging.
If you don’t keep your vocal folds firmly closed and master diaphragmatic breathing before attempting the shouts, you’ll quickly strain your throat—so be careful on that front.
Feverish DemonI wish it could stay midnight forever.
The vocal range is A#3 to E5, and the song is generally on the higher side, but if you basically sing gently with a falsetto-like tone, it should be easier to hit the pitches and you might even aim for a perfect score! If you use only falsetto you might get wobbly and tired, so be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing and core support to keep your voice steady.
The rap-like part before the chorus might not even have a pitch bar, but it’s a cool section, so enjoy singing it while riding the rhythm! It’s a bit of a fast song, so don’t forget to breathe, and do your best with the falsetto!

Can I come see you by cream?I wish it could stay midnight forever.
The artist known as the “night-loving” Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.
(Zutomayo) is a band characterized by vocalist ACA-ne’s soft, high tones.
Many of Zutomayo’s songs are stylish, so I imagine a lot of women feel like giving them a try.
If you sing them, aim to keep a relaxed feel overall without belting, and since the rhythms can be tricky, try singing with a lightly swung vibe.
In the chorus, there are parts with lots of words and some wide interval jumps, so don’t force it—keep it light in ACA-ne’s style.
I miss you so much and want to see you.Kana Nishino
It’s a song that became a massive hit thanks to the strong resonance it found with women, and I think this is the track most people associate with Kana Nishino.
Her charm lies in her overall gentle vocals; she doesn’t belt the high notes but sings them in mixed voice, which lets the message of the lyrics flow in naturally and makes it very pleasant to listen to.
This song conveys the real feelings of a girl in love—maximum heartbreak—and it’s the kind of track that might bring you to tears.
It’s one you’ll want to sing with all your might when you want to pour your feelings out to the person you like.
