In recent years, the number of male artists with high-tone voices has increased significantly.

Some naturally have high voices, while many others use techniques like mixed voice and belting to hit high notes.

This time, we’ll introduce a wide range of karaoke songs recommended for people with high voices!

Of course, they’re great for men with naturally high voices, but also for those who want to be able to sing in the higher range or practice their mixed voice.

These tracks are perfect as practice songs, too!

Why not use the songs we introduce as a reference and belt out high-tone vocals at karaoke to your heart’s content?

Recommended karaoke songs for male vocalists with high voices (141–150)

Christmas songback number

Christmas songback number

This is back number’s 14th single, released in November 2015.

It was also the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.

drama “5→9: From Five to Nine.” The original features a boyish, high-toned vocal, making it an ideal choice for male singers with higher voices.

The vocalist’s tone isn’t just bright; he also seems to have a very wide range into the high register, so you might need to lower the key a bit when singing it at karaoke.

Belting the high notes with full force risks ruining the original song’s atmosphere, so try finding a slightly more comfortable key and give it a go!

Back Number – Hanako-san on a High Pedestal

This is back number’s eighth single, released in June 2013.

It’s a song that fully showcases vocalist Shimizu’s clear, expansive high tones, and given his vocal quality, it’s one of the best choices for men with similarly high natural voices to sing at karaoke.

However, the melody is quite difficult, with large and complex interval jumps—especially in the latter half of the chorus—so choosing it just because your voice suits it could be risky.

Another tricky point is that the breathing spots in the chorus are hard to identify.

Make sure you thoroughly understand the song before you sing it.

The jazzy performance in tonun’s masterpiece “Your Eyes, Your Voice” is striking.

This piece spans quite a wide vocal range.

Rather than just emphasizing the high end, it makes balanced use of everything from low to high notes.

If the A and B sections feel too low, don’t hesitate to raise the key.

For men with higher voices, the falsetto in the chorus should be manageable.

If you want to make it sound more polished, try using a technique called a whisper voice—mixing in breath and singing in a soft, whispery tone.

Beautiful finsupittsu

This is Spitz’s 46th single, released in April 2023.

It was written as the theme song for the film Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine.

With its bright, mid-tempo feel, just listening to it somehow puts you in a warm, relaxed mood.

Masamune Kusano, Spitz’s vocalist, is renowned for his clear, high-toned voice, and that appeal is on full display in this track.

It’s a song I highly recommend for men with higher ranges to try! Practice making smooth transitions into falsetto where it appears—especially around the chorus and other key parts.

Frederic is a band that has remained at the forefront of the Japanese rock scene since the 2010s.

With a clean, J-pop-influenced rock sound, they’re popular among both men and women from their teens through their thirties.

Among Frederic’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is CYAN.

While it’s not an extremely high-pitched song, it’s mostly arranged in the mid-to-high to high vocal range, making it relatively easy to sing for men with higher voices.

Of course, it’s also a track that sounds great to listen to, so be sure to check it out.

Remioromen – Powder Snow (Music Video Short ver.)

Remioromen’s 7th single, released in November 2005.

It was used as an insert song in the Fuji TV drama “1 Litre of Tears.” The track lets you fully enjoy a bright, resonant high tone in chest voice, and it also makes effective use of lower pitches in sections like the B-melody.

To sing this song, you’ll need a wide vocal range not only in the high register but also in the low.

Although it’s quite challenging to perform casually, I encourage you to try mastering it.

Hitomi wo Tojite – Ken Hirai (Full)
Close your eyesHirai Ken

Ken Hirai released his 20th single in April 2004.

Speaking of Ken Hirai, he’s a master of mixed voice, representing male vocals in J-R&B.

Especially in a soft ballad like “Hitomi wo Tojite,” his high notes, delivered with a resonant mixed voice that blends a measured amount of falsetto, are fully showcased.

Ken Hirai’s natural chest voice itself seems quite clear and bright, with many high-frequency qualities, making this an ideal piece for higher-voiced male singers to cover.

However, if you sing with a tight, throat-constricted voice, you won’t capture the original song’s smooth, expansive quality.

Be sure to support the high notes firmly with your core and abdominal muscles, keep your throat open, and sing with proper breath support.
