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 delightful high notes. Enchanting high-tone vocals (81–90)
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.
HeavenMrs. GREEN APPLE
The hot topic right now is the hit song “Heaven.” It’s a new release from Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, and unlike their usual clear, upbeat vibe, it features an emotional melody that strongly conveys a distinctive world-building feel.
The vocal line in this track is extremely challenging—not only does it incorporate whisper voice, falsetto, and mixed voice, but it also showcases a range of techniques from belted vocals to restrained, delicate delivery.
It’s a song packed with the appeal of high-register artists, so definitely give it a listen.
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.
Even if you wait for a miracleSaucy Dog
Saucy Dog is a rock band that enjoys overwhelming support from young people.
Their defining feature, above all, is vocalist Shinya Ishihara’s high-tone voice.
Their famous song “Kiseki wo Mattetatte” is characterized by a dramatic melody themed around heartbreak.
The chorus reaches very high notes, featuring repeated use of mixed voice and falsetto.
In particular, the mixed voice parts appear at the most intense moments, so a certain degree of vocal thickness and power is required.
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.
A masterpiece with exhilarating high notes. Enchanting high-tone vocals (91–100)
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.
