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.

That said, don’t push yourself when singing high notes! Forcing your throat to squeeze out high notes can often damage your precious voice.

A classic by a male artist known for captivating high notes. Recommended popular songs (231–240)
SUPER SESSIONTegoshi Yūya
A release from July 2023 by singer-actor Yuya Tegoshi.
It’s a fine track where you can fully enjoy Tegoshi’s powerful vocals—complete with his expansive high tones—over a driving rock backing track.
The key to singing this song is, above all, hitting the high parts without constricting your throat.
If you tighten your throat, you simply can’t produce such free, soaring high notes.
It’s a challenging song to sing, not just because “your chest voice is high,” but if you’re a male vocalist confident in your high range, definitely give it a try.
Even if you don’t sing yourself, I highly recommend this singer to anyone who enjoys male high-tenor vocals like B’z’s Inaba.
Please enjoy!
Brand new planetMr.Children
Led by Kazutoshi Sakurai, whose distinctive vocals captivate many, Mr.Children has a wealth of songs that showcase alluring high tones.
“Brand new planet,” included on the album SOUNDTRACKS released on December 2, is another recommended track.
Chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama ‘Our Sister’s Soulmate,’ it’s a pop-rock tune that stirs up a sense of hope.
The raw, high notes from Sakurai’s early days were cool, but his current, more composed high tones are wonderful too—be sure to give it a listen!

BAD AGAIN ~Beautiful Rebellion~Seikima II
This is the song “BAD AGAIN ~Utsukushiki Hangyaku~ (Beautiful Rebellion)” by the rock band Seikima-II, known for Demon Kakka.
In stark contrast to their shocking appearance, the vocals are clear, beautiful, and carry wonderfully.
The heartrending, grand ballad brings listeners to tears.
Also, at Seikima-II’s live shows, they sometimes spend over 30 minutes on the MC, and that contrast with their look is addictive.
The soulful high-tone vocals are incredibly captivating.
blue storm&TEAM
&TEAM is a boy group gaining popularity for their high-level performances.
Although they are a multinational group, most of the members are Japanese, and their popularity in Japan is particularly remarkable.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Seiran.
While it has a relatively gentle tone, it features soaring falsetto parts that really shine.
It’s extremely pleasant to listen to, so if you’re looking for that kind of track, be sure to check it out.
