A masterpiece with exhilarating high notes. An enchanting high-tone voice.

Even when we simply say “high-tone voice,” there are many ways to express it—from piercing high notes sung in chest voice, to a softer, more mature high tone that effectively uses mixed voice or falsetto.

In this topic, we’ve gathered a wide variety of songs that showcase the appeal of different high-tone voices, ranging from the latest trending tracks to timeless classics.

High-tone vocals are pleasant to listen to on their own, but once you can comfortably sing high notes yourself, you’ll discover even more ways to enjoy these songs.

We hope this can serve as practice material and a point of reference for those who want to learn how to sing in higher registers.

A classic with exhilarating high notes. Enchanting high-tone vocals (61–70)

Flash GirlToukyou Jihen

A song brimming with Tokyo Jihen’s distinctive melodies and atmosphere.

It’s a cheer anthem for girls in their prime, celebrating the radiance of a youth that exists only now.

Shiina Ringo’s captivating high-register vocals amplify the song’s world.

It conveys the preciousness and irreplaceable value of the “now” that will never come again.

Carried by cute yet powerful high notes, its straightforward lyrics encapsulate the essence of Tokyo Jihen in one track.

LuluAdo

Ado is one of Japan’s leading female singers.

She’s known for her incredibly intense vocals and a one-of-a-kind style that has won fans across generations.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Ruru.

It’s a track that seems to express anger toward the injustice in the world, with an intensely powerful vocal line throughout.

In particular, the falsetto in the chorus is rough and impactful, making it exceptionally satisfying to listen to.

Be sure to check it out.

Seiko Niizuma “Don’t Stop Love ~always lovin’ you” (Enhanced Quality)
Don't Stop Love ~ always lovin' youNiizuma Seiko

Seiko Niizuma’s second single, released in July 2007.

Active primarily in the musical theater field, Niizuma showcases a richly dynamic vocal performance in this track—from resonant, stage musical–style high tones sung with power to whispery high notes that make effective use of falsetto (head voice).

I think it’s also an excellent piece for aspiring singers to study!

Bluebirdikimonogakari

Blue Bird – Ikimonogakari (Full)
Bluebirdikimonogakari

Ikimono-gakari’s 10th single, released in September 2008.

It also served as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime Naruto Shippuden, so many of you have probably heard it.

Yoshioka’s vocals aren’t an ultra-human high-tone showcase, but her bright, radiant voice—rich in high-frequency overtones—energizes listeners.

It’s also a great pick for karaoke for women with naturally high speaking voices.

There’s a lot to learn from this straightforward vocal style, too!

YOASOBI "Idol" Official Music Video

It’s YOASOBI’s 19th digital single, released in April 2023.

It serves as the opening theme for the TV anime “Oshi no Ko.” Ikura, who handles vocals for YOASOBI, is a singer with an irresistibly cute voice, and her charm is fully showcased in this track.

If you enjoy high-pitched female vocals, this is definitely a song I can recommend.

That said, there’s some processing on the vocals that evokes a bit of a Vocaloid feel, so as long as you’re comfortable with that, I think you’ll thoroughly enjoy it.

SteadySPEED

This is the song “Steady,” released in 1997 by the legendary girl group SPEED.

It’s included on the album “Starting Over.” The track became SPEED’s first million-selling single.

The funky sound is super cool! Their vocal prowess, honed at the Okinawa Actors School that produced numerous major artists, is truly outstanding.

BOY MEETS GIRLTRF

It was trf’s seventh single, released in 1994.

With this song, trf made their first appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen and opened the show.

Tetsuya Komuro has said it was the most difficult song he has ever composed to complete.

It’s a track where vocalist YU-KI’s high notes ring out beautifully.
