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 masterpiece with exhilarating high notes. Enchanting high-tone vocals (71–80)
instinctShiina Ringo
The super-sexy music video caused quite a stir back then! This is “Honnō,” a song released in 2000 by the J-POP maestro Ringo Sheena.
It’s included on the classic album “Shōso Strip.” The arrangement is brilliant, overturning the sounds that were popular in Japan at the time.
There’s no doubt it’s catchy pop, but the added elements of jazz, funk, and grunge rock create a unique color only she can produce.
Her aggressive and provocative vocals are also a major highlight.
Wasted NightsONE OK ROCK
The lead track from ONE OK ROCK’s first full-length album in about two years, Eye of the Storm, released in February 2019.
Vocalist Taka’s outstanding high notes combined with his English that rivals native speakers result in a grand ballad reminiscent of classic American rock.
The overall sound production also brings it remarkably close to an authentic “rock sound,” which is rare in J-POP and J-ROCK that can easily veer into a kayōkyoku vibe.
It makes you want to exclaim, “Japanese rock has finally come this far!” On a personal note, based on my own experience in music, I’d also like to applaud the label representative who gave this the green light!
LOVE 2000hitomi
A song with a catchy melody that gets you pumped up.
It’s one of Hitomi’s signature tracks, featuring her uniquely feminine high-tone voice.
Her vocals are cute yet somehow sexy, the kind you can listen to forever.
It’s a voice that makes you feel like you’re getting a cheer from a woman like her, and when you need a boost, listening to it will surely lighten your heart.
Sing it at karaoke and it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going—a spirited anthem that represents the Heisei era.
A masterpiece with delightful high notes. Enchanting high-tone vocals (81–90)
MesmerizerSatsuki
The Japanese Vocaloid producer Satsuki.
They released their debut work, “Nirvana,” in 2019, and had continued operating in a sort of under-the-radar position known to those in the know, but in 2024 they achieved a major breakthrough.
The song that sparked it was “Mesmerizer.” Among recent Vocaloid tracks, this one is particularly heavy on high notes, and the sprinting energy and soaring height of the chorus are overwhelming.
It’s hell if you try to sing it, but as a listener it’s exhilarating and feels fantastic.
Love SongGReeeeN
For many people, their youth was colored by these songs.
This is “Ai Uta,” a signature track by the mysterious male vocal group GReeeeN.
The down-to-earth, earnest lyrics can bring you to tears.
Their melodies are very simple and easy to remember, but what truly sets them apart is their high-tone vocals! You’ll realize it when you try singing it yourself—the key is really high! It’s a song I’d love men who are confident in their high notes to take on.
New My NormalMrs. GREEN APPLE
This is the fifth digital single by the Japanese rock band Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, released on March 18, 2022.
It’s an upbeat, lively pop song, and what makes it even more captivating is vocalist Motoki Omori’s wonderful high-tone voice rich in beautiful higher overtones.
It may not be an ultra-human high note, but that voice—one could even call it androgynous—feels truly one of a kind.
When you sing it at karaoke, try placing your voice toward your upper palate to bring out plenty of high overtones; you might be able to capture a vibe closer to his.
hyururira-pappatuki.
The popular female singer-songwriter tuki.
Her popularity is tremendous, and it’s no exaggeration to call her the diva of the Reiwa era, second only to Ado.
Among her songs, the track “Hyururirapappa” stands out for its especially pleasing high notes.
It features a Japanese-style sound, and from the very beginning, her falsetto and chest voice switch rapidly back and forth multiple times.
Despite the high tempo, her falsetto is so stable that the listening experience is outstanding.
