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 (111–120)
LADYYonezu Kenshi
This is Kenshi Yonezu’s fourth digital-only single, released in March 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for Georgia, a brand by Coca-Cola Japan.
Yonezu, known for his exceptional vocal ability and expressive singing, masterfully conveys the song using a wide range of high tones—from powerful high belts to soft falsetto.
For the average person, reproducing this in karaoke may be challenging; having just a high chest voice won’t be enough.
That said, it’s a track I’d love to see tenors and high-voiced male singers try.
In phrases that sit in the upper-mid to high range, try placing the sound against your upper palate; doing so should produce a voice rich in pleasing high overtones.
Give it a try.

You are more beautiful than a rose.Fuse Akira
A hit song by Akira Fuse released in January 1979.
It has been covered by many artists, including ASKA and Mitsuhiro Oikawa, and has been used repeatedly in commercials, so many of you have probably heard it.
The track lets you fully enjoy Fuse’s dynamic, resonant vocals, which carry a touch of canzone flavor.
Musically, it has a strong Showa-era new music vibe, but thanks to Fuse’s powerful vocals, it feels anything but dated—something truly worthy of praise!
Supreme loveTHE ALFEE
A track included on THE ALFEE’s album “THE BEST SONGS,” released in December 1985.
Featuring Toshihiko Takamizawa—arguably the original high-tenor voice of J-POP/J-ROCK—on lead vocals, it’s arranged as a dramatic power ballad.
As mentioned, this is an album track that has never been released as a single, but I wanted to introduce it to all fans of high-tenor vocals.
Being an ’80s piece, the vocal track is appealing in its own way for being very organic, without the heavy pitch correction common in modern songs.
Please enjoy Takamizawa’s soaring high notes and a song that evokes a clear, wintry night sky!
Answer keyŌmori Motoki
This is a solo song by Motoki Omori, the vocalist of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, and as expected, it features a lot of high notes.
The range is G#3 to B4, so it might be easier for women to sing.
One amazing thing about Omori is that he switches between chest voice and falsetto much more frequently than other artists, but for this song, keeping your eyebrows raised while singing helps make the transitions smoother.
My students often say, “Omori’s eyebrows are always up!” so please use that as a reference.
Also, since the phrases in this song are relatively long, I recommend deciding your breath points before you sing.
If you don’t have enough breath, your voice may drop out in the falsetto sections, so be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing.
It’s challenging, but it’s a cute song, so once you get used to it, try singing it in a cheerful, bouncy mood!
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.
IllusionMY FIRST STORY × HYDE
A collaboration between these two artists is incredibly extravagant, isn’t it? Actually, I sang this live with a male student, and from a woman’s perspective the key is on the lower side, so it was a bit tough…
But it was really fun to harmonize on top and trade lines back and forth! There’s also a death growl at the very end, so it’s definitely a song I’d love to hear sung by two men! Basically, it’s a song where the two of you alternate between lead and harmony, but there are various ways to harmonize—Hiro often takes the higher harmony and HYDE the lower.
There are parts sung an octave lower as well, so I think it’s best to switch things up and enjoy the different approaches!
My feelings fall in fluttering dropsMISIA
This is a digital-only single by MISIA, released for streaming on April 28, 2021.
It was chosen as the theme song for the Toho-distributed film “Hinokaru Soul: The Heroes Behind the Scenes.” MISIA is widely acclaimed for her vocal prowess, and that formidable ability is on full display in this track as well.
Even when focusing on the theme of this article—high notes (high-tone voice)—she delivers a masterful performance, skillfully switching between powerful highs using chest to mixed voice and gentle high tones using falsetto, expressing the song with remarkable finesse.
