Masterpieces by male artists known for their captivating high notes. Recommended popular songs (11–20)
Wasted NightsONE OK ROCK
It’s a track from ONE OK ROCK’s ninth original album, “Eyes of Storm,” released in February 2019.
It also served as the theme song for the anime film “Kingdom.” The song lets you enjoy a very captivating high register with a slightly husky feel.
It makes highly effective use of different vocal techniques—from chest voice to mixed voice and falsetto—so it should be very useful as reference material for those who want to sing in a high range.
Resident of the EyeL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
The 23rd single by the rock band L’Arc〜en〜Ciel, released in March 2004.
Vocalist hyde’s singing throughout the entire track is what you might call a “visual kei style,” yet the high tones showcased especially in the chorus are excellent.
The way he distinguishes between powerful, projected high notes in chest voice and gentle expressions in falsetto makes for an impressive vocal performance.
It’s one of the best tracks to use as a reference for vocal expression through different techniques.
Robinsonsupittsu
Most of Spitz’s songs sit in a high register, but the chorus of this one in particular switches rapidly between falsetto and chest voice.
Kusano’s singing, delivered without so much as a change in expression even on difficult songs, feels like a one-of-a-kind instrument.
The vocals and sound are gentle, yet the true meaning of the lyrics or the song’s theme often lies somewhere unexpected, adding layers of mystery to Spitz’s lyrics.
It’s also one of those songs where the title never appears in the lyrics at all.
AddictedNissy(Nishijima Takahiro)
This is a song by Nissy (Takahiro Nishijima), a singer who also shines as the main vocalist of the performance group AAA.
It’s included on the best-of album “Nissy Entertainment 5th Anniversary BEST,” released in 2019.
It’s a mature love song, and his sweet high-tone voice is guaranteed to make women’s hearts skip a beat.
StarHoshino Gen
When people think of Gen Hoshino, many likely imagine a somewhat lower vocal tone.
While his low register is certainly one of his charms, his falsetto is also a major draw.
His falsetto has more spread than that of typical vocalists and is notably pleasant to the ear.
In his new song “Star,” he uses a slightly lower falsetto with that expansive quality.
If you struggle with head voice, trying to imitate the falsetto in this track could be a good approach.
Moonlight FlowerJanne Da Arc
Released in January 2005 as Janne Da Arc’s 23rd single.
It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Black Jack and became the band’s biggest hit.
While vocals in V-kei bands are often perceived as high-pitched but somewhat fragile, yasu’s voice shows none of that even in the upper register, delivering a beautifully piercing high tone that feels endlessly expansive.
It might be a challenging choice even for guys who are good at singing high notes, but it’s definitely a song you should try to master.

Forever LoveX JAPAN
X JAPAN’s ultimate love song.
ToshI’s high vocals are incredibly soothing, making this a track that heals its listeners.
It also drew attention for being used repeatedly because former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi was a fan of X JAPAN.
In Tateyama, Chiba—YOSHIKI’s hometown—an instrumental music box version of the song is broadcast over the municipal disaster-prevention radio system at 5 p.m.
on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
As the title “Forever Love” suggests, it sings of the boundless love that is uniquely X JAPAN.
