Masterpieces by male artists known for their captivating high notes. Recommended popular songs.

Even when we say “high-tone voice” or “the allure of high notes,” there are many types of singers: some have a naturally high-sounding speaking voice but don’t actually have a very wide upper range, while others don’t sound particularly high, yet when they sing, you realize they’re actually hitting incredibly high notes.

High tones in male voices in particular often carry a curious sensuality and tend to sound especially appealing to listeners.

This time, we’ve gathered classic songs by male singers whose high notes are especially captivating.

High-tone vocals may now feel like a prerequisite for professional singers, but the ways of expressing them vary greatly from singer to singer.

Enjoy this rich variety of high-tone voices.

It might also give you ideas for your karaoke repertoire if you’re good with high notes!

That said, don’t push yourself when singing high notes! Forcing your throat to squeeze out high notes can often damage your precious voice.

If you’re thinking of trying these songs yourself, be sure to take proper voice training first before you take on the challenge!

GREEN APPLE, released in June 2023.

It was tied in as the campaign song for Coca-Cola’s Coke STUDIO.

From powerful high belts in chest voice to gentle high tones using falsetto, and even piercing high notes, you can enjoy a wide array of high-tone vocals all within a single track.

In a sense, it’s like a showcase of male high-tone vocals, making it one of the best reference songs for anyone aiming to become a high-tone vocalist.

It’s one of T.M.Revolution’s signature songs.

Vocalist Nishikawa’s singing is soulful, powerful, and full of presence.

He still performs it on TV today, and you can hear an even more amped-up voice.

It’s a representative track of the late ’90s that incorporates a band sound, and if you listen closely, the lyrics are surprisingly realistic and interesting.

CITRUSDa-iCE

A single with an irresistibly captivating high-tone voice that sticks in your ears after just one listen.

While the chorus is powerful, the A and B sections demand expressive nuance, and the vocals follow the emotions of the lyrics, reaching straight into the listener’s heart.

It’s a song that beautifully transforms negative emotions like anger and sadness.

It was used as the theme song for the 2020 drama “The Way of the Househusband.” About a year after the drama aired, the artists delivered a one-take performance on the hugely popular YouTube series “THE FIRST TAKE,” which propelled the song to even greater success.

This is a standout track that showcases his superb, well-trained vocals—honed by playing Lola in the hugely popular musical “Kinky Boots,” which premiered in Japan in 2016—as well as his dancing.

First off, the creativity of turning a radio show directly into a song is incredible.

On top of their vocal abilities, both of them look really cool! It’s enjoyable for both the ears and the eyes.

There’s a simple choreography in the chorus, so it’s a perfect song to hype things up at karaoke.

It’s not me unless it’s meGesu no Kiwami Otome.

Gesu no Kiwami Otome “Watashi Igai Watashi Janai no”
It's not me unless it's meGesu no Kiwami Otome.

It’s a signature song for the band.

It’s an uptempo track with drastic key changes, making it quite challenging.

I’m impressed by vocalist Kawatani’s sweet tone and the way he switches into falsetto so naturally.

People tend to focus on the visuals and the music video, but the song’s key is high, it repeats addictive phrases, and it uses techniques that make you want to listen to it over and over.
