Songs that get you hyped (41–50)
Rising HopeLiSA
Speaking of LiSA, it’s all about anisongs! She also has an image of singing mostly high-pitched songs, right? Among them, “Rising Hope” is probably one that many people feel is “so fast and so high… great to listen to, but tough to sing!” My students struggled with it, too.
Of course the high notes are challenging, but the tempo is also very fast at 190.
On top of that, there are lots of rap-like and intricate parts, so you want to make sure you don’t get left behind while singing.
Also, for the ends of phrases in the chorus, if you slightly lengthen them and articulate the vowels clearly, it adds to the vibe and sounds cool! There are lots of high notes in succession, but try to keep the sound resonating in your head so the pitch doesn’t drop.
A bird that cannot flyyuzu
This song is one where Yuzu’s Iwasawa takes the lead vocals, and it’s quite high-pitched.
The A section sits low and is sung almost like spoken word, so it’s relatively easy and calm, but the pitch shoots up right at the start of the B section.
The highest note is C#5 in the chorus, and there are lots of long sustained notes, so it can be tough unless you’re constantly resonating in the head.
For reference, my student also struggled quite a bit from the B section, but once they worked on a head voice that resonates up top, they were able to sing the whole song.
Because it’s a high song, you might focus only on the high notes, but the surprising pitfall is actually the low parts.
It’s easy for the pitch to sag and turn into a throaty sound, so keep your eyebrows raised even as the melody changes—just like Iwasawa does—when you sing.
Aim for Iwasawa’s crystal-clear voice!
THE DAYPorunogurafiti
PornoGraffitti is famous for their high vocal range, and I think “THE DAY” is one of their highest songs, especially at the top end.
The tempo is quite fast too, so if you’re going to sing it, it’ll be tough to keep up unless you really memorize the song first.
Also, vocalist Okano mostly uses chest voice and belts the high notes in his natural voice, but the highest note at the end of the chorus, C#5, is in falsetto.
That switch is so cool, isn’t it? Since the song is up-tempo, if you’re not comfortable with high notes, I recommend lowering the key by one or two steps instead of starting in the original key.
Rather than focusing on pitch at first, start by getting used to the speed! You might get caught up in just getting the notes out, but don’t forget to breathe!
NonsensePenthouse
Penthouse is a band with both male and female vocals.
They describe their style as city soul and excel at producing glamorous, sharp tracks.
Their new song, Nonsense, showcases just that.
Along with powerful shouts, it features a variety of techniques that evoke elements of Black music like R&B and soul—such as ad-lib-style “feints” and funky falsetto.
The falsetto in the chorus is especially challenging, as it requires a sudden leap in pitch from chest voice, making it quite difficult.
BURNyama×WurtS
The collaboration between yama and WurtS has finally happened! Centered on the theme of “inner passion,” it portrays the hidden feelings of anime characters and the clashes of their emotions.
Set against a tumultuous era, the song depicts the conflict between each character’s sense of justice.
It’s a compelling track that fuses their distinctive vocals and worldviews.
Chosen as the opening theme for Cour 2 of the TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story – Kyoto Inferno, it’s perfect not only for anime fans but also for anyone who wants to feel intense emotions and inner struggle.
Bye-Bye to youUVERworld
Speaking of UVERworld’s songs, they tend to stay in the high register throughout.
This track, too, keeps high notes from start to finish, and the pitch moves up and down quite a lot, so if you’re not used to singing high, there’s a concern you might end up straining your throat.
The high note that pops up at the end of the chorus jumps to a C5, so it might be good to start by practicing just that part to hit it explosively.
To produce a powerful voice like vocalist TAKUYA∞, you need solid core support! If your body wobbles while riding a train or bus, it means your lower abdomen (tanden) isn’t engaged.
That will make your singing waver too, so try singing with firm strength in your lower abdomen.
It’s a difficult song, so don’t rush—practice steadily!
The Zero Sense10-FEET
The film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK became a worldwide smash hit, and its theme song drawing attention is Zero Vibes (Dai Zero Kan).
It’s a track by 10-FEET, a rock band based in Kyoto.
The dynamic sound with resonant low frequencies amps up the listener’s energy.
The lyrics also tie in with the movie’s story, making it appealing as a song that cheers on those pursuing their dreams.
If you listen to it after watching the film, it will hit even harder.
