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.

Rockdom ~ Blown by the WindTHE ALFEE
This is THE ALFEE’s 24th single, released in 1986.
At the live show where it was first unveiled, the band said it was a song they had “reached after 13 years,” indicating how deeply it resonates with them.
Looking back on the All-Campus Joint Struggle movement led by students in the mid-1960s, the song powerfully reiterates a wish not to forget that era, when hopeful young students questioned an unreasonable world and bravely took it on.
All three members have high-tone voices, and with Toshihiko Takamizawa on lead vocals here, the song’s range is quite high, making it anything but easy to sing.

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.

To be honest, I didn’t know this band, so I did some research to write this article and listened to their music for the first time—and wow, what a distinctive and fascinating band… or rather, songs! The vocals, sung entirely in falsetto, are especially striking.
In the recordings, beyond the falsetto itself, it also sounds like they’re actively using some corrective effects to process the voice, but a vocal performance that commits so thoroughly to falsetto can only be described as impressive.
It’s surprisingly hard to pull off, so if any guys out there are confident in their high range, definitely give it a try at karaoke!
Love MemoryMatsuzaki Shigeru
Matsuzaki’s otherworldly singing voice is still going strong, and I don’t think anyone among artists of his generation can match his soulful tone and vocal power.
His songs are loved across generations and are often covered on TV and elsewhere, but no matter which cover you listen to, I don’t think any surpass the quality of the original.
Somewhere in the summerWANIMA
This is the theme song for the 2019 Mitsuya Cider commercial! Their passionate vocals and performance are a perfect match for summer and for the product in the ad.
Powerful, energetic, and bright through and through! KENTA’s fiery delivery—sometimes almost like a shout—is not something easily imitated.
To sing or play WANIMA, you need more than just technical skill; you have to bring that heat as well!
melodramanatori & imase
The work Melodrama features a collaboration between singer-songwriters Natori and imase, both popular among young people.
Natori is known for his downer musical style, while imase’s slightly funky sound stands out—an unusual pairing that nonetheless blends beautifully despite their different styles.
The highlight of this piece is definitely the high register.
It’s not extremely high, but you get to hear Natori’s rare high notes in this track.
Be sure to check it out.
Fukuwarai (a traditional Japanese “lucky laugh” face-making game)Takahashi Yuu
A signature song by Yu Takahashi, an artist beloved across generations for his gentle, high-toned voice that resonates in listeners’ hearts and for the bright worldview of his music.
The lyrics, which straightforwardly express the importance of keeping a smile, have encouraged many listeners.
