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.

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

A classic by a male artist famed for his high notes. Recommended popular songs (101–110)
Lovers’ PavementTHE ALFEE
THE ALFEE is a band with a wonderful, original high-tone voice.
All the members take turns as the main vocalist, but Toshihiko Takamizawa’s high-tone voice is especially striking.
With his fluffy long hair—like a character straight out of a shoujo manga—he has a voice that cuts through like the clear wind of midwinter.
You can especially enjoy that voice in “Koibitotachi no Pavement.” It’s a track that makes you swoon at a vocal that never wavers and shoots straight ahead.
Horse and deerYonezu Kenshi
This is Kenshi Yonezu’s 10th single, released in August 2019.
Yonezu is a singer with a highly appealing vocal timbre, and this track fully showcases his expansive, free-flowing singing.
While the song itself is pop and catchy, its chord progressions carry a distinctive twist—another hallmark of his music.
Even in high tones delivered with a strong chest voice, he never sounds strained, revealing his high potential as a vocalist.
It’s a track where his supple, soaring voice greatly enhances the song’s ability to truly “reach” the listener, amplifying the grandeur inherent in the melody.
chameleonKing Gnu
King Gnu’s fifth CD single, released on March 16, 2022.
It was selected as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Mystery to Iu Nakare” (Do Not Say Mystery).
Right from the start, Daiki Tsuneta’s wonderfully beautiful falsetto bursts in, making this track irresistibly appealing to anyone who loves a soft, high male voice.
In fact, listening again to write this piece, I’m struck by how superb Tsuneta’s vocal expression is—switching precisely between falsetto, mixed voice, and chest voice.
It’s sure to become a classic ballad.
Kanata HarukaRADWIMPS
The song drawing attention as the theme for the anime film Suzume is Kanata Haluka.
Created by RADWIMPS, its lyrics that reflect the story and the music video’s beautiful visuals are key reasons for its widespread support.
But the biggest appeal I want to highlight is the powerful chorus.
The verses are sung at a low key and relaxed pace, then the key jumps up dramatically in the chorus for a strong, forceful delivery.
Since the structure emphasizes high tones, it’s perfect for singers with a higher vocal range.
Familiasumika
With its lively rhythm, this song is the kind that makes you feel happy as you listen.
It’s included on Chime, the major-label debut album released in 2019 by sumika, a four-piece rock band from Kanagawa Prefecture.
The lyrics, overflowing with the desire to spend a lifetime with that special someone, are heart-melting.
It’s also a great recommendation for wedding background music.
A classic hit by a male artist known for captivating high notes. Recommended popular songs (111–120)
Beautiful finsupittsu
This is Spitz’s 46th single, released in April 2023.
It was written as the theme song for the film Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine.
With its bright, mid-tempo feel, just listening to it somehow puts you in a warm, relaxed mood.
Masamune Kusano, Spitz’s vocalist, is renowned for his clear, high-toned voice, and that appeal is on full display in this track.
It’s a song I highly recommend for men with higher ranges to try! Practice making smooth transitions into falsetto where it appears—especially around the chorus and other key parts.
The world is fancy.UNISON SQUARE GARDEN
UNISON SQUARE GARDEN sings about real life in a pop style with a sound only they can produce.
They’ve provided numerous anime theme songs, with “Sugar Song and Bitter Step” being among the most well-known.
However, the track I want to introduce here is “Sekai wa Fancy.” Released in 2020, it has a slightly mysterious vibe that creates a superb contrast with the tone of the vocals.
Compared to their other songs, the singing style is a bit more rough-around-the-edges, and that gap is part of its charm!
