Masterpieces by male artists known for their captivating high notes. Recommended popular songs (91–100)
HagurumaKANA-BOON
This is KANA-BOON’s 12th major-label single, released in March 2019.
It also served as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime Karakuri Circus.
It’s a song where you can enjoy a very resonant high tone that never thins out even at higher pitches.
The vocals likely make skillful use of a “chest-leaning mixed voice” with solid nasal resonance, and it would be an excellent piece to use as practice material for mastering this kind of vocal production.
Samurai Heart (Some Like It Hot!!)SPYAIR
A standout song by SPYAIR, a rock band popular especially among younger generations for their distinctive high vocals that captivate many listeners and their message-driven tracks.
It’s a number that carries the message: live true to yourself without worrying about what others think.
A classic by a male artist famed for his high notes. Recommended popular songs (101–110)
KanadeSukima Suichi
A signature ballad by Sukima Switch, artists who have gained popularity for their warm high-toned vocals that gently soothe the heart and their emotionally charged performances, and who have also worked on theme songs for hit anime.
This song is a love letter expressing feelings of watching over someone from afar, always and forever.
WonderONE OK ROCK
A song by ONE OK ROCK that was premiered during their online concert held in October 2020.
With ONE OK ROCK’s music, you can always enjoy powerful, masculine high notes, and this track is no exception—you can fully savor the strong, soaring vocals that seem to stretch endlessly.
Since it’s a live recording, the performance brims with that unmistakable “live feel” you can’t get from a studio version, which is another part of its charm.
I imagine many men aspire to sing with a voice like this, don’t they?
Brilliant RainKing Gnu
This song was written as the theme for the drama “Old Rookie,” starring Go Ayano.
In fact, member Daiki Tsuneta and Go Ayano are very close friends.
When the song was announced, Tsuneta happily called it “our first work with Go-chan.” Times change, but you don’t have to be swept along—just walk your own path.
The lyrics, which cheer on new challenges, give you courage that it’s never too late to start something.
Speaking of King Gnu, one of their appeals is the overwhelming vocal prowess of Satoru Iguchi, a graduate of Japan’s top music university.
It might take considerable practice to sing it well.
AkariSakiyama Soshi
This is singer-songwriter Soshi Sakiyama’s 10th major-label single, released digitally in July 2023.
It was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2: Hidden Inventory/Premature Death.
Sakiyama is known for his appealing, slightly boyish voice rich in higher overtones, and in this track you can enjoy an exceptionally diverse and dynamic range of vocal colors.
I highly recommend listening all the way through and savoring each section of the song.
For aspiring singers, it also serves as a showcase of various vocal techniques and expressive styles that can be used as a practical reference.
blinkback number
This is the theme song for the film “The 8-Year Engagement” (starring Takeru Satoh and Tao Tsuchiya in dual lead roles).
back number is a band that crafts the bittersweet loneliness of love through their lyrics, melodies, and vocals.
The song was created around the theme of standing by someone you love as they face a painful reality, and asking what happiness truly is.
Vocalist Iyori Shimizu’s soaring high notes turn the song’s theme into a raw, heartfelt cry.
