[Challenge] A Compilation of Anime Songs with High-Pitched Melodies and High-Tone Vocals

Prayer XKing Gnu

King Gnu – Prayer X

This is the debut single by King Gnu, a four-piece rock band dominating the J-POP scene with a mixture sound born from their bottomless musical background and high-level performance skills.

The song was used as the ending theme for the TV anime BANANA FISH, and its distinctive heaviness that ties in with the anime creates an addictive quality.

The melody moves between high chest voice and falsetto, and if the transition becomes too obvious, it can break the atmosphere, so be careful.

Also, since the melody itself is complex, make sure you fully grasp the flow before attempting it at karaoke.

I'm only gazing at you.Maki Ohguro

Only Looking at You (2019 Remastered)

This is the sixth single by singer-songwriter Maki Ohguro, who, despite racking up million-selling hits around her debut, appeared so rarely in the media that an urban legend even arose claiming she was “computer-generated.” Chosen as an ending theme for the TV anime SLAM DUNK, it became a million seller and remains one of her signature songs.

With its high, powerful melody—and a complex, ultra-high passage at the end—it’s a song that demands full focus all the way through in karaoke.

If the key suits you, it’s a Heisei-era karaoke classic you’ll want to belt out with full emotion.

Invisible SensationUNISON SQUARE GARDEN

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN「Invisible Sensation」MV

A quintessentially challenging song by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, characterized by a wide vocal range and a sense of speed.

The overall range spans F3 to C5, fitting the typical UNISON range.

Since it’s an anime opening, it starts right from the chorus and maintains a high level of intensity throughout.

When singing it, rhythm and breath management are the most important points.

Also, because there are fast passages and sections with lots of words even in the chorus, the trick is to avoid enunciating too sharply.

If you struggle with high notes, focus on diaphragmatic breathing and core engagement; you should gradually be able to hit higher notes.

It requires repeated practice, so don’t get discouraged and keep at it!

Charisma of ArroganceUNISON SQUARE GARDEN

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “Bojyaku no Charisma” Music Video

The opening theme song for the anime “Blue Lock VS.

U-20 JAPAN”! It’s an aggressive track with blistering rock and provocative lyrics that really shine at karaoke.

Speaking of UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, it’s all about Saito’s high tones, right? The key is how effortlessly you can hit those highs and how much you can enjoy singing them.

Since it’s the fast-tempo “Boujaku no Charisma,” breath timing is tricky and your ability to keep steady rhythm will be tested.

There are parts that don’t follow a standard rhythm, so it’s probably best to memorize each melody section.

Make sure to listen closely to the backing instruments and lock in the rhythm!

Mr. Fake / Amatsuki [MUSIC VIDEO] Tomodachi Game Theme Song

This is the third single by the singer Amatsuki, whose fresh, boyish voice has earned him popularity and led him to broaden his activities into voice acting and stage readings.

The song was chosen as the theme for both the TV drama and film adaptations of the manga-based series “Tomodachi Game,” and its opening, which begins with a hysteric synth sound, is quite thrilling.

The chorus features falsetto woven into a high-tempo melody, creating a catchy hook—but it’s also the trickiest part to sing in karaoke, so listen repeatedly and practice.

The song’s vocal range isn’t very wide, so if singing in the original key is difficult, try adjusting it to a key that suits you.

Seven DoorsZAQ

ZAQ / Seven Doors

This is the seventh single by singer-songwriter ZAQ, who has won fans with her musical sensibility—self-taught in composition—and the vocal skills she honed as a performer.

Chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Trinity Seven, the track kicks off with a tight rock sound that instantly amps up the energy.

The melody itself is simple, but because the overall key is quite high and the tempo is fast, you need to pay attention to both the melody and the beat when singing it at karaoke.

The driving rock ensemble is exhilarating, making it a number that feels great if you can pull it off.

Fall in Love with Andante!angela

Angela “Fall in Love with Andante!” Music Clip

This is the 31st single by the music duo angela, known for their live performances featuring comical call-and-response and self-introductions.

The track was used as the opening theme for the TV anime “My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! X,” and its classically inspired arrangement with a touch of exotic flair really sticks in your ears.

The complex melody and beat changes present challenges beyond just vocal range.

It’s a high-difficulty anime song, so first grasp the song’s structure and then sing it in a key that suits you.
