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.

It might also give you ideas for your karaoke repertoire if you’re good with high notes!

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

If you’re thinking of trying these songs yourself, be sure to take proper voice training first before you take on the challenge!

Due to the structure of the human body, when singing in a high register the voice tends to thin out and become piercing and hard to listen to.

However, Novelbright’s vocalist, Yudai Takenaka, possesses a remarkable “instrument” as a singer, enabling him to deliver high notes with power and allure.

A great example of this is their 2021 release, Tsukimisou.

Although its key is extraordinarily high for a male vocal range, he sings it while maintaining depth in his voice.

Squall04 Limited Sazabys

The third major single by 04 Limited Sazabys, released in August 2017.

It’s a song where you can fully enjoy GEN’s very distinctive and unique vocals, but because the tempo is fast, it might be quite challenging to sing at karaoke or in a cover band.

If you do sing it, make sure to study the breathing points in advance and use smooth transitions in your vocal production.

The occasional use of falsetto (head voice) woven into the performance is superb as well!
