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.

Monkey Discooooooothe telephones
The pitch stays high all the way through.
What’s more, it’s surprising that this isn’t falsetto but chest voice.
If you just shout “Disco!” without thinking, it’s sure to relieve stress.
The band is currently on hiatus, but many of their other songs also have a great groove that makes your body start dancing on its own.
I’ll be there for yougirudo
A ballad by the Japanese visual kei band Guild, released in 2012.
It’s a track where you can really hear the essence of Guild’s vocalist ryuichi, who’s widely praised for his singing.
He switches freely from powerful chest-voice high notes to aching falsetto, and his performance is quite impressive.
Actually, there’s a funny story behind this song: right before Guild’s first show at Shibuya Public Hall, ryuichi himself asked me, “I’m going to perform it as a piano-and-vocal piece, so could you teach me piano?” (laughs).
With the show just around the corner, there wasn’t time to teach ryuichi—who had no keyboard experience—the basics from scratch, so I remember just giving him some tips on how to play simply yet still sound cool enough.
There aren’t many people whose first-ever performance in front of an audience is at a sold-out Shibuya Public Hall (laughs).

It starts in a low key, but jumps to high notes in the chorus.
The song portrays a heart wavering between reality and ideals.
Vocalist Kanehiro often blends falsetto with chest voice in the chorus, and the transition is so smooth that it’s a pleasure to listen to.
The style is rock, and the powerful drums match well with the vocals.
You’re My Only Shinin’ StarKadamatsu Toshiki
This is a song you’ll want to listen to while gazing romantically at the starry sky: Toshiki Kadomatsu’s “You’re My Only Shining Star.” Kadomatsu is also well known as the producer of “Kanashimi ga Tomaranai” and “WA ni Natte Odorou.” It’s rare to find a Japanese singer who can deliver soul music with such depth.
Let yourself be swept away by his romantic vocals!

the red threadKobukuro
If you’ve got a partner to sing with, I recommend “Akai Ito” by Kobukuro! Kobukuro is a duo made up of Kentaro Kobuchi and Shunsuke Kuroda, known for the charm of their harmonies, with two voices that have distinct characters.
“Akai Ito” is a track included on their 2008 single “Toki no Ashioto,” and it was used in a Nippon Life commercial.
It’s a masterpiece where Kobuchi’s effortless, gentle high notes and Kuroda’s powerful, energetic vocals intertwine in perfect balance.
It’s not easy to sing alone, but find a partner and give it a try!
