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 pleasing high notes. Enchanting high-tone voices (11–20)
HOWEVERGLAY
GLAY’s 12th single, released in August 1997.
After its release, it was selected as the ending theme for the TBS drama “Ryodatsuei: Abunai Onna” (Stolen Love: Dangerous Woman).
It’s a rock ballad where you can enjoy TERU’s appealing slightly husky high notes.
The high-tone vocals in the latter half—especially where the chorus repeats—are outstanding! It’s not a piercing, overwhelming high tone, but I think it’s a performance that really “gets through” to the listener.
Dried Flowerimase
When people hear “a singer-songwriter who hits a lot of high notes,” many probably think of imase.
With a background in Black music, imase excels at the bright, piercing falsetto that was trendy in the 1970s funk scene.
His new track, Dried Flower, is a piece where you can savor that falsetto throughout.
While the groove is emphasized—making it a high-energy song—the melody is crafted to feel relaxing when you listen.
Soul RevolutionSuperfly
It’s Superfly’s ‘Tamashii Revolution,’ which I heard a lot because it was NHK’s soccer theme song in 2010.
Superfly is known for soaring high notes and a powerful voice.
It’s a perfect fit as a sports theme song, too.
With exhilarating high notes, it’s a track that suits many summer scenes perfectly.
RE RESCUEREOL
Reol is a female singer who’s gained popularity with crisp, hard-hitting dance music.
She’s always dropping hit tunes, but the one I especially want to recommend is RE RESCUE.
The most satisfying high-note moment in this track is, without a doubt, the chorus.
There’s a section toward the end of the chorus where she repeatedly switches between chest voice and falsetto, and the smoothness of that transition is outstanding.
Reol also excels at pitch control, so be sure to check out the live version as well.
The BeginningONE OK ROCK
A number highlighted by a rock-style high-pitched voice.
The husky vocals are cool and match brilliantly with the guitar sound and drums.
The English phrasing is also exceptionally easy on the ears, making it very listenable.
It’s a song I’d recommend not only to female rock fans but to men as well.
Immerse yourself in the song’s unique worldview, and your heart will surely tremble.
If you love rock and want something new to listen to, this should be the first track you play.
flying boatKing Gnu
King Gnu’s third digital-only single, released in August 2019.
It’s a very interesting track in which a deliberately delicate, falsetto-centered vocal is laid over an extremely heavy arrangement, creating a clear contrast between the backing track and the singing.
Normally, with a song like this, you’d expect a powerful high-tone vocal to come in—that’s the conventional thinking—but by intentionally subverting that expectation, they showcase their excellent taste.
A masterpiece with delightful high notes. Enchanting high-tone vocals (21–30)
FateOfisharu Higedan Dism
A song that showcases Official HIGE DANDism’s distinctive high notes.
The soaring chorus brings pure happiness to the ears, and the powerful high notes in the bridge add a cool edge.
The message grows stronger toward the latter half, so it never gets boring to listen to.
On top of that, the light melody that matches the high vocals makes it an easy, approachable track to enjoy.
