I believe everyone has their own favorite kind of music.

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

[Challenge] A collection of anime songs with high-pitched melodies and high-tone vocals (31–40)
A world where the sun does not riseAimer
This song, which is also the theme for “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle Arc: Chapter 1 Akaza’s Return,” spans roughly E3 to E5 and is quite advanced to sing on a first try.
When I first heard it, Aimer’s English-like diction made me think, “Is this a Western song?” but it’s firmly in Japanese (lol).
The A section is sung phrase by phrase in the lower register, but from around the B section it gradually becomes more emotional.
There are plenty of high notes, but rather than belting them in chest voice, using a strong head voice brings out both the poignancy and the power, matching the song’s mood.
From low to high notes, try singing with your eyebrows slightly raised to help stabilize pitch!
passwordAliA
A digital single by the rock band Alia, released in October 2023.
It was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime “Kimizero.” AYAME, who sings for Alia, is an impressive vocalist with a bright, radiant high range; she skillfully switches between powerful chest-voice highs and gentle falsetto depending on the section of the song to express the music.
The track itself is an upbeat, very catchy number, so I highly recommend it for women confident in their high notes to enjoy singing at karaoke.
Listen closely to the original to study where and how each type of vocal production is used before you sing!
A Night for OnePorunogurafiti
The second single “Hitorino Yoru,” used as the opening theme for the TV anime GTO.
Its brisk ensemble that evokes beat rock and its poppy melody create a strong impact.
Although the song features high tones, the overall vocal range is narrow and the melody doesn’t move much, making it easy to sing at karaoke.
With its driving beat that gets everyone pumped up, it’s a refreshing rock tune that both men and women will want to sing.
Standing on stageYOASOBI
Surprisingly, this song modulates near the end, but instead of going higher, it drops by a semitone first and then immediately rises again.
It really feels like the meaning of the title, “Standing on Stage,” is packed into this one track! Ikura’s vocals resonate with real strength in the high notes without her having to belt.
Carrying the voice with breath rather than shouting makes the sound come out naturally and leads to that clear, transparent tone! Many of my students sing YOASOBI’s songs, so I hope all of you will give them a try, too!
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.
