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!

This song was written as the theme for the film ‘Offbeat Cops,’ starring Hiroshi Abe.

The movie is set around a police band.

Because Masaki Narazaki, a member of the group, once played saxophone in the Shimane Prefectural Police Band, Official HIGE DANDism was tapped to perform the theme.

Being here now, the encounters you have there—everything has meaning.

The lyrics, which link to the film’s worldview, the lively brass band sound, and Satoshi Fujihara’s light, high vocals come together perfectly in this track.

His piercing high tones bring a new charm not found in the original.

I think this is a song that really brings out a voice with great projection and sharpness.

The melody keeps shifting, making it a difficult piece to sing, yet the vocals sound so clean that you don’t feel the difficulty at all.

It conveys a message that the world we live in is still narrow and that we shouldn’t impose limits on ourselves.

Inamura’s vocals are one of a kind, a voice that stands strong against the powerful instrumentation.

A song by Kenshi Yonezu included on his fifth album, STRAY SHEEP, it was released ahead of the album on July 6 of the same year via SME Records on various music streaming services.

Although Kenshi Yonezu’s singing voice isn’t the type that immediately shows off a high register, he’s one of those singers who offers a very pleasant high male vocal.

The moments of falsetto that appear within the melody are also striking, making this a track that showcases his expressive vocal abilities.

Even if you wait for a miracleSaucy Dog

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.
