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.

Gambling hallŌishi Masayoshi
Masayoshi Oishi’s new song “Gambling Hall.” This work is crafted with a musicality that mixes Showa-era kayōkyoku and jazz, a blend often heard in EGO-WRAPPIN’s tracks.
When it comes to Oishi’s appeal, it’s his effortless high notes—and they’re on full display here as well.
Thanks to the jazz flavor, there’s also plenty of low end, which is another hallmark.
Despite the dramatic rises and falls in pitch, Oishi’s ability to deliver natural, soaring highs is nothing short of impressive!
mixing public and private mattersyuzu
This was a digital-only single by Yuzu, released in August 2020.
Both members of Yuzu are singers whose appealing high-register voices really stand out.
In this song, too, you can enjoy their pleasant high tones riding over a brisk, lively groove right from the start.
Also, the vocal parts intentionally make active use of the pitch-correction effect—popularized by acts like Perfume—to create that so-called “Cher effect” style of sound, which might be another fun aspect of the track.
I wish you were hereLEGO BIG MORL
A masterpiece by the rock band LEGO BIG MORL, beloved among music fans for songs expressed through piercing high-tone vocals and delicate vibrato.
It’s a heartbreak number that longs for a lover you can no longer meet, and the music video—brimming with bittersweet emotion—is a must-see!
Start to shine and run forwardSambomasutā
It’s a straightforward rock number whose passionate message strikes a chord.
It’s a song by the three-piece band Sambomaster, known for tracks like “Sekai wa Sore wo Ai to Yobun da ze” and “Dekikkonai wo Yaranakucha.” Released in 2018 as their 21st single, it served as the theme song for the drama Cheer☆Dan.
Give it a listen when you’re feeling down—it’s sure to lift your spirits.
J.O.K.E.R.MAZZEL
MAZZEL is one of the groups supporting Japan’s current boy group boom.
Among their works—renowned for performances that rival K-pop—my top recommendation is J.O.K.E.R.
The chorus features falsetto throughout.
It’s not just about hitting high notes; the rapid, repeated switches between chest voice and falsetto make it exceptionally challenging.
Breath control is also crucial, so if you can sing this song with ease, your vocal ability is at a professional level.
