She uses her falsetto (or something really similar to it; it's out of her comfortable range, but she still manages to hit, so it's either a falsetto or she's straining which I'll explain later again).

Then in her zomg songs like M and Dearest; the final screeching chorus... it doesn't sound like falsetto... more like she's straining her voice to reach those notes which sounds really uncomfortable.

For her A Song For xx album, where she sounded really screechy and high... I attribute that to improper vocal training... the whole album sounded kinda nasal too; so it's likely she used her nasal voice to sing that album, and not her diaphragm, which she started to use like since Duty, I feel.

Also, in kanariya where she sounded really high... I actually feel like they edited her voice to be that high to create some kind of effect (birds do sing really high; maybe she wanted to be like a canary that's singing)... which could explain why she never performed this live lol.

Finally, all these are my personal opinion, so... don't take them too seriously! ^^

Good point of view.
Anyway, it's really difficult to know her range because her voice always in evolution
