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 voices (141–150)
TogetherSuperfly
Together has a cool, gritty vibe with bluesy, country flavors.
It’s a track released by Superfly in 2020.
Speaking of Superfly’s Shiho Ochi, that powerful high-tone voice that pours out of her petite frame is just incredibly cool! Her singing ability, which feels almost beyond what you’d expect from a Japanese singer, is highly praised even by discerning listeners who love Western music.
Despite her high, powerful notes, she never sounds harsh—because she sings using mixed voice.
Shangri-LaChatto Monchī
Chatmonchy is a girl band that represents the Heisei era, and their signature song is Shangri-La.
It features a cute vocal tone and a rock-inspired melody.
Although it’s a song from over a decade ago, it remains very popular among high school girl bands.
Its distinctive rhythm is catchy and easy to groove to, so you’ll find yourself humming it before you know it.
It’s truly a classic that can be called a defining girls’ number of the Heisei era.
white noiseOfisharu Higedan Dism
This is Official HIGE DANDism’s ninth digital-only single, released in January 2023.
It was written as the opening theme for the TV anime Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown Arc.
Over a very pleasant medium- to up-tempo track, you can fully enjoy vocalist Satoshi Fujihara’s high-tone voice.
In particular, the soaring high notes in the section sung mainly in the upper register after the second chorus are remarkably exhilarating.
In the very last part of the song, where he sings softly in clear falsetto, you can also sense Fujihara’s excellent vocal sensibility.
Take back love!kurisutaru kingu
A theme song by Crystal King for the hugely popular anime Fist of the North Star—likely known by just about everyone.
The original version was released in October 1984, and it seems several remakes have been released since.
Speaking of Masayuki Tanaka, Crystal King’s high-tone vocalist, he was hailed at debut as a Japanese Robert Plant for his powerful high-register voice, and in this track he delivers a strong, exhilarating high tone right from the start.
Many aspiring singers—especially those aiming for HM/HR styles—probably admire this kind of high-register voice, don’t they? This is a standout track where a metallic high tone truly shines!
Ice Cream SyndromeSukima Suichi
This is Sukima Switch’s 13th single, released in July 2010.
It was used as the theme song for the film Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl the Movie – Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
Sukima Switch’s vocalist, Takuya Ohashi, is a singer whose appeal lies in his slightly unadorned, high-toned voice that somehow evokes a sense of nostalgia.
That vocal charm truly shines even in songs where the vocal melody moves up and down quite rapidly.
There aren’t many singers who can deliver such a complex, high-note-heavy melody so smoothly and gently.
It’s a piece that demands advanced vocal technique, such as seamless switching in vocal production, yet what’s wonderful is that his singing never feels like he’s flaunting that skill.
Keep that in mind as you listen.
Become a flowerRyokushokushakai
Released in December 2023, this is the eighth single by the pop-rock band Ryokuoushoku Shakai, fronted by Haruko Nagaya, whose expansive high-tone voice is especially captivating.
It was written as the opening theme for the Nippon TV anime “The Apothecary Diaries.” Set to an upbeat, highly catchy track, the song lets you fully enjoy Nagaya’s high-register vocals—from powerful chest-voice highs to gentle falsetto—showcased with impressive control.
Please enjoy.
slashyama
This is yama’s 16th digital-only single, released in April 2023.
yama, who is also active as the vocalist of the music unit BIN, performs this song, which was selected as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.
Although yama’s gender has not been disclosed, the voice comes across as youthful and androgynous, so I’m introducing this as a karaoke recommendation especially for high-tenor male singers.
The vocal melody seems relatively simple and easy to sing, so make the most of your naturally high range and try to recreate the feel of the original.
As you sing, be sure to pay attention to dynamic contrast throughout the song.
