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.

Listening to it really gets you hyped.
It drew attention for being used as the opening theme for the anime The Promised Neverland.

When it comes to high-tone voices, many people these days probably think of imase.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is Soyokaze.
It’s a new release from imase, featuring his signature airy, gentle falsetto tone throughout.
Singing falsetto with this kind of timbre is surprisingly difficult, but the ease with which he delivers it really showcases his impressive vocal ability.

It was Crystal King’s debut single, released on November 21, 1979.
From the very start, the song showcases Masayuki Tanaka, the high-register vocalist, delivering a piercing high-tone performance—an irresistible track for fans of male high-tenor vocals.
Tanaka’s resonant singing, sustaining this high melody without resorting to falsetto, can only be described as “as expected of him!” The unit was known for its twin lead vocal setup, and the contrast with the other vocalist, Monsieur Yoshizaki, whose voice is slightly husky and rugged, is also superb.
Que sera, seraMrs. GREEN APPLE
A digital-only single released in April 2023 as Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s seventh such release.
It was newly written as the theme song for the drama “Sunday Night Probably…” and was also used in a Spotify brand commercial.
Set to a brisk tempo, the track showcases vocalist Motoki Omori’s versatile high-range singing—from chest voice to mix voice to falsetto—making it a piece you can truly enjoy.
Omori’s smooth switching of vocal production across parts and phrases is nothing short of praiseworthy.
In particular, the high notes after the interlude when the key rises are absolutely overwhelming, making this a song I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who loves powerful male high vocals!
