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.

somedaySaucy Dog
A signature song by the rock band Saucy Dog, who have gained popularity—especially among music fans—for their beautiful, soul-soaking falsetto and overwhelming vocal prowess.
It’s a classic imbued with the poignant wish for a reunion with a lover from whom one has been separated.
Love Story Comes SuddenlyOda Kazumasa
This is a song that almost every Japanese person probably knows.
Even if it’s not your generation, I bet you can hum the chorus.
While many singers lose their voice over time, I think it’s truly amazing that Kazumasa Oda maintains the same singing voice no matter how old he gets.
AS ONEUVERworld
UVERworld’s 36th single, released in March 2020.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film “Masked Ward,” which premiered on March 6, 2020.
As with all of UVERworld’s songs, this track also features TAKUYA∞’s trademark upper-mid to high range singing with frequent use of a slightly strong mixed voice.
His tone gives the impression of having a fair amount of breathiness, making me think he might be driving the vocal cords strongly with breath power.
From the standpoint of correct vocal technique, it might be better to relax a bit more in the higher range, but this very voice is part of TAKUYA∞’s appeal, so it definitely works! That said, if someone without a solid foundation in vocal technique tries to imitate this, they’ll almost certainly strain their throat, so please be careful when singing it at karaoke and the like.
OneSnow Man
Snow Man is a boy group that enjoys overwhelming support from women in their teens and twenties.
Their performances, influenced by K-pop idols, are striking, and every song they release becomes a hit.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is One.
The highlight of this song is, without a doubt, the part at the end of the chorus.
The way the melody ascends like climbing stairs and naturally transitions into falsetto is incredibly refreshing to listen to.
If you like gentle high-note sections, be sure to check it out.
NostalgiaGReeeeN
The refreshing feel of the chorus is irresistible! This is a song by GReeeeN, a music group also known for all its members being dentists.
It was released in 2019 as their 18th digital single.
It served as the campaign song for “Suntory Natural Mineral Water GREEN TEA.” The lyrics really hit home, making me reminisce about my school days.
SubtitleOfisharu Higedan Dism
Official HIGE DANDism captivates with their expansive high-tone vocals and catchy, memorable songs.
Released in November 2022, “Subtitle” is a song that expresses clumsy yet gentle feelings toward a loved one.
It was written as the theme song for the drama “silent,” starring Haruna Kawaguchi and Ren Meguro.
Because it closely reflects the characters’ emotions and the storyline, the track is even more moving.
The highest note used in this song is C#5.
It’s a high register that can feel challenging even for many female singers, which really underscores vocalist Fujihara’s remarkable ability.
