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.

Masterpieces by male artists known for captivating high notes. Recommended popular songs (161–170)
The Iron GiantTHE ALFEE
A track included on ALFEE’s eighth album, THE RENAISSANCE, which was released in July 1984.
Speaking of 1984, it was the dawn of LA metal overseas, and in Japan, bands from the so-called “Japa-Metal” scene were on the rise.
In step with the times, this song has a very HM/HR flavor.
The high notes you hear here are truly athletic—like a high-note endurance match! It’s a fun track where, after Sakurai belts it out with all his might, Takamizawa effortlessly soars even higher in the chorus with his ultra-high-tone vocals.
turquoiseSEKAI NO OWARI
This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s 17th major-label single, released in April 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for Kirin’s “Hyoketsu.” Fukase, the vocalist of SEKAI NO OWARI, has a very boyish singing voice that’s part of his charm, so this track might be an ideal choice for men with naturally high speaking voices to pick at karaoke.
Even if your natural voice is high, the vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, so it’s also recommended for people who can hit high notes but aren’t super confident in their singing—easy to select and sing casually.
If you aim your voice toward the center of your upper palate inside your mouth as you sing, you can get closer to the feel of the original track, so give it a try when you perform.
Off The MaskYUTA
YUTA, known as the Japanese member of NCT 127, has been drawing attention in both Japan and Korea since his solo debut thanks to his outstanding performances.
One of his standout tracks is “Off The Mask.” Unlike his work with NCT 127, this song features a much harder rock sound.
The high notes are especially compelling—not just because they’re high, but because they mix in shouts for a gritty, powerful edge.
It’s a track that lets you experience a side of him you won’t see with NCT 127, so if you know him from the group, be sure to check it out.
ALWAYSyuzu
A track from Yuzu’s 16th album PEOPLE, released on March 23, 2022.
It was released digitally ahead of the album.
It’s a very Yuzu-like ballad, beautiful and brimming with clarity.
What especially highlights the song’s crystalline quality is the duo’s bright, endlessly soaring high-tone vocals.
The high-register harmonies in the chorus are particularly outstanding—quintessential Yuzu.
The standout moment comes after the instrumental break, when the backing drops to just piano and they sing the chorus; it’s the most compelling part of the song.
Highly recommended for anyone who loves high-tone male chest-voice singing!
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!
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.
bergamotgirudo
A digital single by the visual kei band Guild, released in January 2019.
Vocalist RYUICHI’s soft yet powerful voice is one of his greatest charms, and it shines through on Bergamot as well.
For RYUICHI, who once left the band, this track marks his first single after rejoining Guild.
Perhaps thanks to the positive influence of his solo work during his hiatus, his expressive singing seems even more powerful than before.
I’ve shared the stage with RYUICHI several times in a piano-and-vocal setup and recorded piano-acoustic tracks with him, and he always absorbs direction quickly.
Every time we work together, I find myself amazed by his singing and his talent.
