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.

We Don’t Need To Talk Anymorew-inds.
It has a Western vibe, and even the Japanese lyrics can sound like English.
The rhythm of the track is great, but the part around the chorus where they shout the title is really high.
Vocalist Tachibana’s voice sounds thin and delicate, yet the shouted parts are powerful, and that’s repeated throughout this song.
It also incorporates a vocal drop—often used in Western music—in place of a traditional chorus.
I was looking for you.CHEMISTRY
A signature ballad by CHEMISTRY, an artist beloved by people of all ages for their universally acclaimed, soaring high notes and the beautiful harmonies the duo creates.
The song expresses the miracle of meeting someone you truly love, and it has also become a classic choice for weddings.
Kaiju no Hanabuta (Monster’s Flower Song)Vaundy
This is a digital-only single by singer-songwriter Vaundy, released in May 2020.
It was issued as a pre-release single from his first album, “strobo.” The song has a rather striking title, doesn’t it? Contrary to the impression the title might give, the track itself is a very orthodox, up-tempo pop song, showcasing Vaundy’s clear, soaring high tones over the backing track.
The vocal melody frequently uses a relatively high range, so I think it’s also a good recommendation for higher-voiced male singers to try at karaoke.
To sing it well, it’s important not to lose the sense of tempo and groove, so make sure you feel the beat solidly and be careful to keep the rhythm from becoming flat as you sing.
crimsonX JAPAN
Speaking of high-tone vocals, X JAPAN is indispensable.
They are a rock band that represents Japan, and countless people must have been influenced by them.
Their look, their songs, and their performances—everything is flamboyant, and they never fail to captivate the audience.
POP SONGYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu, a singer-songwriter who got his start as a Vocaloid producer, has an outstanding gift for composition.
Because his voice has a cool quality that doesn’t ring sharply, you might not associate him with singing in a high register.
In reality, though, many of his songs are quite high in key.
The fact that he makes high-key songs not sound “high” really shows his skill as a vocalist.
POP SONG, released in 2022, is a playful track that blends electronica with elements of gypsy jazz.
StarmineDa-iCE
The two members of Da-iCE are famous for having a wide vocal range.
The range in “Starmine” is quite broad, from C#3 to D#5.
Points to watch out for are pitch shifts, switching between chest voice and falsetto, and the bouncy rhythm.
Right at the start, Hanamura comes in with a gritty belt, but if you brace yourself awkwardly, you’ll tense up and strain your throat, so try to relax.
Singing comfortably is the most important thing, so at first it’s totally fine to sing everything in falsetto! Once you get used to the song, try gradually strengthening that falsetto.
Use your body so you don’t tense up, and above all, enjoy singing!
Driver’s HighL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
Among L’Arc~en~Ciel’s many songs, “Driver’s High” is one of the most popular.
It also served as the theme song for the anime GTO, which helped it gain worldwide acclaim.
The song’s vocal range is quite wide, from mid1 E to high B.
While high B is often sung in falsetto, in this song it’s delivered with a mixed voice, and it appears frequently—six times in total.
It’s a perfect piece for practicing mixed voice, which requires strong projection, so definitely give it a try.
