Answer keyMotoki Omori
This is a solo song by Motoki Omori, the vocalist of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, and as expected, it features a lot of high notes.
The range is G#3 to B4, so it might be easier for women to sing.
One amazing thing about Omori is that he switches between chest voice and falsetto much more frequently than other artists, but for this song, keeping your eyebrows raised while singing helps make the transitions smoother.
My students often say, “Omori’s eyebrows are always up!” so please use that as a reference.
Also, since the phrases in this song are relatively long, I recommend deciding your breath points before you sing.
If you don’t have enough breath, your voice may drop out in the falsetto sections, so be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing.
It’s challenging, but it’s a cute song, so once you get used to it, try singing it in a cheerful, bouncy mood!
LaughobiaMINAKEKKE
MINAKEKKE is the solo project of Yui Minako.
Characterized by a sound rooted in goth, new wave, acid folk, and trip-hop, it has earned high praise from hardcore music aficionados.
The new track “Laughobia” blends acid folk and trip-hop, boasting a very wide vocal range.
Although it’s sung with a downbeat, moody delivery, the abundance of long tones likely demands more diaphragm and breath control than one might expect.
Like, dislikePhantom Seater
Phantom Theta is an idol group produced by the vocalist Ado.
While firmly retaining the essence of an idol group, some members boast high-level vocal skills, and the songs often have a distinctly dark worldbuilding, making them a remarkably distinctive group.
Their new song, “Suki, Kirai,” demands considerable vocal ability due to its wide range and the variety of vocal expressions it features.
It even includes a mellow vocal line reminiscent of Showa-era kayōkyoku, making it a track where there’s little room to bluff.
impulseEmi Noda
Emi Noda is a female singer-songwriter who has been active since the 2000s.
Having started her career as an artist in elementary school, she has gained popularity with cohesive J-pop refined over many years.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Shoudou (Impulse).
While there aren’t many low phrases, it features many high phrases—including some quite high falsetto—making for a wide vocal range and a high level of difficulty in pitch control.

moonlightChihiro Onitsuka
This was Chihiro Onitsuka’s second single, released in August 2000.
It was used as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “TRICK.” Thanks in part to the drama’s success, the song climbed from its Oricon weekly chart debut at No.
30 up to No.
11, and it stayed on the charts for nearly ten months as a long-running hit.
Over a simple backing track centered on piano and strings, Onitsuka’s emotionally rich vocals stand out, and singing it as she does is quite challenging.
Practice to avoid constricting your throat on the high notes and to switch smoothly between vocal registers.
In karaoke, applying a relatively deep echo to your voice can also be important for achieving a pleasing sound, so be sure to give it a try.
I am a cat's eye.Ringo Sheena
This is Ringo Sheena’s 17th single, released in May 2023.
It was apparently produced as a commemorative work for the 25th anniversary of her debut.
Many of Sheena’s songs are known for their intriguingly complex melodic progressions and rhythmic phrasing, and this track is no exception—it’s filled with a highly distinctive and memorable melody.
Precisely because of that, if you can nail it at karaoke and reproduce it accurately, you’re sure to be the center of attention! Be sure to study the song and lyrics thoroughly before giving it a try.
If you sing with the sensation of placing your voice against your upper palate, you’ll likely achieve a vocal tone rich in higher overtones, similar to hers—definitely give that a try as well!
unravelAdo
Ado is a female singer whose exceptional vocal ability has earned her high acclaim within the industry.
All of her songs are quite challenging, but the one I especially recommend is Unravel.
This work is a cover of a song by TK from Ling tosite sigure, and like the original, it features extremely advanced high notes.
It’s not just about hitting high pitches; you also need to deliver them with a scream-like tone, which demands a strong foundation in vocal technique.
If you’re confident in your singing ability and expressiveness, definitely give it a try.
