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.

This gameSuzuki Konomi

Do you know the anison singer Konomi Suzuki? She’s really cool, so if you like anime songs, you should definitely give her a listen! In “This game,” the notes are extremely high throughout, and it even modulates in the last chorus, making it go even higher.

The overall range of the song is B3 to F5, which is generally on the higher side, and if you try to belt it all in chest voice, your throat will get wrecked (lol).

Suzuki mixes in head voice skillfully.

When hitting notes as high as in “This game,” it’s easier if you focus on resonance rather than just pushing or belting.

That said, it’s not something anyone can do right away, so first try placing a hand on your chest and check that your chest is resonating.

Also, if you forget to breathe, you won’t be able to hit high notes, so take plenty of air through your mouth and line up your breathing with the song’s timing!

From the very beginning, “orbit” unfolds with a melancholic tone, and you might wonder, “Maybe this song doesn’t have any death growls?”—but sure enough, they come in solidly in the latter half.

The vocal range is A#3–G5, and as you’d expect from TK, the high notes are extremely lofty.

When singing, it’s fine to use mostly falsetto, but the key is to avoid letting it become a weak falsetto.

If you keep singing in a weak falsetto, you’ll run out of breath as you go, and you’ll barely be able to pull off the death growls that come after the stronger falsetto in the second half! It’s actually easier if you project both your falsetto and your death growls more strongly from the vocal cords than you think.

Also, one of TK’s charms lies in the spacing between words when delivering the lyrics.

If you sing each word carefully, the sense of poignancy deepens and your voice becomes even more beautiful.

Bye-Bye to youUVERworld

Speaking of UVERworld’s songs, they tend to stay in the high register throughout.

This track, too, keeps high notes from start to finish, and the pitch moves up and down quite a lot, so if you’re not used to singing high, there’s a concern you might end up straining your throat.

The high note that pops up at the end of the chorus jumps to a C5, so it might be good to start by practicing just that part to hit it explosively.

To produce a powerful voice like vocalist TAKUYA∞, you need solid core support! If your body wobbles while riding a train or bus, it means your lower abdomen (tanden) isn’t engaged.

That will make your singing waver too, so try singing with firm strength in your lower abdomen.

It’s a difficult song, so don’t rush—practice steadily!

GRe4N BOYZ have begun to hint at a harder musical edge than before.

Formerly active under the name GReeeeN, the group has produced many classic songs.

Their new track, Speed, retains the essence of GReeeeN while featuring a sharper, tighter sound.

A hallmark of theirs is the high-pitched vocals, and this song not only includes that element but also showcases a cool, stylish vibe.

If you loved the high-register parts from their GReeeeN days, be sure to check this one out.

When it comes to high-tone voices, many people these days probably think of imase.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is Soyokaze.

It’s a new release from imase, featuring his signature airy, gentle falsetto tone throughout.

Singing falsetto with this kind of timbre is surprisingly difficult, but the ease with which he delivers it really showcases his impressive vocal ability.

Right now, among up-and-coming visual kei bands, Kizu is drawing attention in the scene for their especially high level.

This year they even pulled off a successful solo show at the Budokan, and their momentum just keeps growing.

R/E/D/ is their new song.

The vocalist, Lime, is known for his use of high tones, and in this track he delivers top-tier high notes you won’t usually hear in mainstream pop.

If you like powerful high vocals with some shouts mixed in, definitely give it a listen.
