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.

A masterpiece by a male artist known for captivating high notes. Recommended popular songs (171–180)
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!
ReiwaGōruden Bonbā
This song was released almost simultaneously with the announcement of the new era name, Reiwa, in 2019.
It’s a track by the visual kei air band Golden Bomber.
Before the announcement, they completed all the recording except for the era name portion, then started recording that part the moment it was revealed.
The concept drew attention on online news and elsewhere.
It’s an irresistibly catchy, high-energy tune.
BOYKing Gnu
This is King Gnu’s third CD single, released on December 1, 2021.
It was first made available as their sixth digital-only single on October 15 of the same year.
The song was reportedly written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime Ranking of Kings.
From the very beginning, it features high notes sung in falsetto that might make you momentarily think, “Is that a female vocalist?”—and you can enjoy that vocal quality throughout the entire track.
It’s a song where you can fully savor a voice with an androgynous allure.
The slightly bouncy, light rhythm is paired with a luxurious orchestral arrangement, and on top of that sits a vocal that seems intentionally processed to sound a bit thinner—another distinctive characteristic of this track, in my opinion.
Velvet Poemback number
The film Akira to Akira, based on Jun Ikeido’s original work, depicts two young men from completely different backgrounds who, sometimes clashing and sometimes cooperating, confront a society rife with evil.
This is a song written by back number as the movie’s theme.
In a world full of absurdities, it can feel foolish to stay honest, but no one can take your place.
The lyrics, which beautifully mirror the protagonists’ determination to keep moving forward without losing themselves even when crushed by reality, are striking.
It’d be great to deliver the chorus—where the melody suddenly leaps into a high register—with style.
Goodbyeofukōsu
Vocalist Oda is still singing with the same clear voice as ever.
What makes Oda’s voice so appealing, even looking back to the Off Course days, is that he sings in chest voice rather than falsetto.
It’s amazing how he hits such high notes without grimacing or sounding strained, just producing the sound naturally.
Also, this song has a fresh feel, with a rock sound featuring electric guitars that makes it hard to believe it was made in 1979.

Pale BlueYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu has an unshakable artistic vision, and with each release you can strongly feel his personal attention to detail, so every song comes across like a standalone work of art.
“Pale Blue,” which conveys the loss of love, transience, and a decadent beauty, is so compelling that simply calling it “cool” doesn’t do it justice.
Often cited as an artist with captivating high notes, Yonezu’s voice carries a unique sense of loneliness and bittersweetness.
And when he sings in the higher register, an added elegance and refinement emerge, elevating the music into an even more perfectly realized piece.
Baby, I love youTEE
A signature song by TEE, an artist whose delicate falsetto and exceptional vocal ability resonate with many and garner support across generations.
It’s an upbeat number that expresses overflowing love for someone special, and it has become a staple at weddings.
