Masterpieces by male artists known for their captivating high notes. Recommended popular songs (11–20)
You’re the Only…Ono Masatoshi
Masatoshi Ono’s third single, released in August 1992.
It was his first song tied to a TV drama, serving as the theme for the Fuji TV series “Kimi no Tame ni Dekiru Koto” (What I Can Do for You).
When it comes to Masatoshi Ono, he’s known for his trademark clear yet powerful high tones, and that vocal strength is of course fully present in this track.
It’s crafted into a rock ballad that lets you revel in his transparent, powerhouse singing.
Back in 1992, when this song was released, pitch-correction technology during recording wasn’t as advanced as it is today.
Even in that era, he delivers this high-key, continuously soaring melody without resorting to falsetto and with pinpoint pitch accuracy—truly impressive!
Sugar Song and Bitter StepUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
Released in May 2015 as UNISON SQUARE GARDEN’s 10th single.
It was produced as the ending theme (from episode 2 onward) for the anime Blood Blockade Battlefront.
The vocalist Saito naturally has a very high—well, high-placed—voice, so the vocals you hear in this track don’t feel like a so-called “high-tone vocal” that relies on technique, but rather high notes supported by his inherent timbre.
His voice is quite distinctive, so it might be pretty difficult for others to sing this song.
RomanticismMrs. GREEN APPLE
How about a pop, energetic rock number? It’s a song by the five-member mixed-gender rock band Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
Released in 2019 as their ninth single.
Vocalist Motoki Omori’s high-pitched voice is so pleasing to listen to.
The lyrics are written from the perspective of a man with an unrequited love.
It’s a track I especially want people currently in love to hear.
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.
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.
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
This was Yuzu’s 21st single, released in July 2004.
It served as the official theme song for NHK’s coverage of the Athens Olympics.
Yuzu is known for their clear, translucent high tones, and this track is no exception—you can enjoy beautifully transparent high-tone harmonies.
It’s also remarkable how they deliver such a high-key song without resorting to falsetto.

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.
