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!

Saucy Dog is a rock band that enjoys overwhelming support from young people.

Their defining feature, above all, is vocalist Shinya Ishihara’s high-tone voice.

Their famous song “Kiseki wo Mattetatte” is characterized by a dramatic melody themed around heartbreak.

The chorus reaches very high notes, featuring repeated use of mixed voice and falsetto.

In particular, the mixed voice parts appear at the most intense moments, so a certain degree of vocal thickness and power is required.

What If StoryTani Yuuki

Tani Yuuki’s song “Moshimo Monogatari,” known as the ending theme for the long-beloved classic anime Doraemon, has the gentle warmth you’d expect from a Doraemon track.

Its range is mid1 F# to hi C#, which isn’t particularly wide, but the overall tessitura is high, so you’ll need mixed voice to sing it in the original key.

That said, it’s not an especially difficult song, making it highly recommended as practice material for developing your mixed voice.

Hata Motohiro’s masterpiece “Suisa no Tsuki” (Watercolor Moon) is distinguished by its emotional melody.

Released after his nationwide hit “Himawari no Yakusoku,” this track has a notably acoustic and calm finish.

The vocal range is mid1F to hiC, which is on the slightly narrow side, but the chorus features consecutive high notes up to hiC, making it more difficult to sing than it may sound.

If you have a higher voice, try singing the falsetto parts with mixed voice.

A piano pop band, Official HIGE DANDism’s second album Traveler includes this track, which was also featured as an insert song in the Fuji TV drama If Only I Could Meet You Three More Times.

It’s a song seemingly crafted to make the most of vocalist Satoshi Fujihara’s timbre, which contains a wealth of highly appealing higher overtones; the high notes in the chorus are especially exhilarating.

The soft high tones using falsetto (head voice) are also employed effectively, making this a track from which male singers who want to capitalize on their high range can learn a lot.

Be sure to study it!
