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.
Enjoy this rich variety of high-tone voices.

IllusionMY FIRST STORY × HYDE
A collaboration between these two artists is incredibly extravagant, isn’t it? Actually, I sang this live with a male student, and from a woman’s perspective the key is on the lower side, so it was a bit tough…
But it was really fun to harmonize on top and trade lines back and forth! There’s also a death growl at the very end, so it’s definitely a song I’d love to hear sung by two men! Basically, it’s a song where the two of you alternate between lead and harmony, but there are various ways to harmonize—Hiro often takes the higher harmony and HYDE the lower.
There are parts sung an octave lower as well, so I think it’s best to switch things up and enjoy the different approaches!
You are more beautiful than a rose.Fuse Akira
A well-known song that serves as a signature piece for Akira Fuse, a powerhouse vocalist whose singing ability and projection are universally recognized.
Speaking of Fuse, his voice resonates throughout the venue even with the mic held far away, and his endless long tones are legendary! Numerous clips of his singing performances are available online, and he can be considered one of Japan’s most widely known singers across generations.
This masterpiece pairs sultry lyrics with a sensuous voice.
Beyond the excellence of the composition, what truly draws attention is Fuse’s vocal prowess.
Why not try the superhuman feat of seeing how long you can sustain the final note?
no heart rate[Alexandros]
![no heart rate[Alexandros]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JSXYWi0HHBI/sddefault.jpg)
A song by [Alexandros], included on their eighth full-length album “But wait.
Cats?” released on July 13, 2022.
It serves as the opening theme for the NHK Educational TV anime “Ao Ashi.” As for Yohei Kawakami, the vocalist of [Alexandros], while he may not possess an ultra-human high register, I think he’s a singer who delivers wonderfully appealing higher overtones across his entire vocal range.
Even in the high parts of this track, he never resorts to a strained, tightened-throat approach; instead, he skillfully incorporates falsetto in his expressive singing, which makes him a particularly compelling vocalist.
It’s a must-listen for anyone who enjoys high-register male vocals.

Cinderella BoySaucy Dog
When this song was released, didn’t everyone try singing it? Listening closely, the verses (A and B sections) often sit around the song’s lowest note, E3, so the melody feels relatively calm.
However, the chorus suddenly jumps up to E5, and when you actually sing it, the large interval can be quite surprising.
Pitch control is crucial in that section.
Since the song has an overall bittersweet feel, it might be better not to hold the ends of phrases too long—leave a lingering resonance instead.
Pauses are also important.
Even when you’re not singing, treat the rests as part of the rhythm to bring out the mood.
Give it a try!
A bird that cannot flyyuzu
This song is one where Yuzu’s Iwasawa takes the lead vocals, and it’s quite high-pitched.
The A section sits low and is sung almost like spoken word, so it’s relatively easy and calm, but the pitch shoots up right at the start of the B section.
The highest note is C#5 in the chorus, and there are lots of long sustained notes, so it can be tough unless you’re constantly resonating in the head.
For reference, my student also struggled quite a bit from the B section, but once they worked on a head voice that resonates up top, they were able to sing the whole song.
Because it’s a high song, you might focus only on the high notes, but the surprising pitfall is actually the low parts.
It’s easy for the pitch to sag and turn into a throaty sound, so keep your eyebrows raised even as the melody changes—just like Iwasawa does—when you sing.
Aim for Iwasawa’s crystal-clear voice!
orbitTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE
From the very beginning, “orbit” unfolds with a melancholic tone, and you might wonder, “Maybe this song doesn’t have any death growls?”—but sure enough, they come in solidly in the latter half.
The vocal range is A#3–G5, and as you’d expect from TK, the high notes are extremely lofty.
When singing, it’s fine to use mostly falsetto, but the key is to avoid letting it become a weak falsetto.
If you keep singing in a weak falsetto, you’ll run out of breath as you go, and you’ll barely be able to pull off the death growls that come after the stronger falsetto in the second half! It’s actually easier if you project both your falsetto and your death growls more strongly from the vocal cords than you think.
Also, one of TK’s charms lies in the spacing between words when delivering the lyrics.
If you sing each word carefully, the sense of poignancy deepens and your voice becomes even more beautiful.
Bye-Bye to youUVERworld
Speaking of UVERworld’s songs, they tend to stay in the high register throughout.
This track, too, keeps high notes from start to finish, and the pitch moves up and down quite a lot, so if you’re not used to singing high, there’s a concern you might end up straining your throat.
The high note that pops up at the end of the chorus jumps to a C5, so it might be good to start by practicing just that part to hit it explosively.
To produce a powerful voice like vocalist TAKUYA∞, you need solid core support! If your body wobbles while riding a train or bus, it means your lower abdomen (tanden) isn’t engaged.
That will make your singing waver too, so try singing with firm strength in your lower abdomen.
It’s a difficult song, so don’t rush—practice steadily!
