I believe everyone has their own favorite kind of music.
And there are probably quite a few people who think “high-pitched vocals are great.”

I’ve picked out high-pitched tracks for both male and female singers.

This gameSuzuki Konomi
Do you know the anison singer Konomi Suzuki? She’s really cool, so if you like anime songs, you should definitely give her a listen! In “This game,” the notes are extremely high throughout, and it even modulates in the last chorus, making it go even higher.
The overall range of the song is B3 to F5, which is generally on the higher side, and if you try to belt it all in chest voice, your throat will get wrecked (lol).
Suzuki mixes in head voice skillfully.
When hitting notes as high as in “This game,” it’s easier if you focus on resonance rather than just pushing or belting.
That said, it’s not something anyone can do right away, so first try placing a hand on your chest and check that your chest is resonating.
Also, if you forget to breathe, you won’t be able to hit high notes, so take plenty of air through your mouth and line up your breathing with the song’s timing!
Walking with youNovelbright
It’s a pretty difficult song that jumps straight into the chorus from the very beginning without any intro.
It’s up-tempo and very band-like, so it looks cool if you can sing it! The overall vocal range is G3–E5, and the melody moves up and down a lot.
The vibe of the A and B sections in verse 1 and verse 2 changes a bit, too.
There’s a lot to memorize, right? (lol) Even if you can get through the first verse smoothly, many people stumble on the second! My students also started by memorizing the English at the beginning of the second verse! Also, when there are lots of words, try keeping the rhythm with your hands while you sing.
There are almost no breaks in this song, so it’s pretty tough, but if you tackle it one melodic section at a time, you’ll definitely be able to sing it! You’ve got this!
The Kouga Ninja ScrollsOnmyoza
This is Onmyo-za’s 10th single, released in April 2005.
It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls.
Set over an uptempo, hard-rock-style backing track, it’s a song that really lets vocalist Kuroneko’s high tones shine.
To sing this track convincingly, it’s important not only to deliver the high notes in your chest voice with openness and ease, but even more crucial is how smoothly you can transition between registers in the chorus sections that switch into falsetto.
Master those seamless register shifts, perform it brilliantly, and bask in the praise from everyone around you!
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!
I don’t care what happens anymore.Hoshimachi Suisei
One of my students once practiced “Stellar Stellar,” but this time, “Mou Dounatte mo Ii ya” has a completely different vibe—it’s a cool-style anime song.
Listening through the whole track, it has an overall sense of speed with lots of fast lyrics, so keeping the rhythm is very important.
Since it’s such a fast song and the pitch goes up to D5, the key is to avoid straining your voice.
It might help to sing with a relaxed approach, using a strong head voice.

IllusionMY FIRST STORY × HYDE
A stunning collaborative track by MY FIRST STORY and HYDE that fuses a passionate rock sound with a grand, expansive worldview.
Released in June 2024 as the opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc.
The strengths of both artists meld beautifully, delivering a powerful portrayal of a heart wavering between weakness and strength over a solid alternative rock foundation.
With lyrics that voice a fighting spirit in search of answers and the resolve to face inescapable fate, the song offers encouragement to anyone standing at a crossroads in life.
It’s sure to resonate as the perfect soundtrack for forging your own path.
Maximum reachSEKAI NO OWARI
This is a digital-only single by SEKAI NO OWARI, released in September 2023.
It was apparently written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime One Piece.
The slightly boyish tone of lead vocalist Fukase’s voice pairs perfectly with the bright, refreshing track.
I can confidently recommend this as a karaoke song for men with naturally higher voices! While it makes great use of a slightly high-pitched vocal quality, the vocal melody itself doesn’t span an especially wide range, making it easy to sing along to casually—another big plus.
If you try directing your voice toward your upper palate as you sing, you can get closer to his vocal tone, so give it a try.
In conclusion
Have you been finding songs that truly strike a chord with you? This isn’t specifically an article for choosing karaoke songs, but since the theme is high notes, I imagine most of the tracks would be pretty tough to sing yourself.
Still, that’s exactly what makes them worth the challenge.
If you get the chance, definitely give them a try!
