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 (211–220)
a hair’s breadthUru
Uru’s digital-only single, released in April 2023.
It serves as the ending theme for the anime “Hell’s Paradise.” It’s a very beautiful ballad, and I think the key to singing this song lies in how well you can recreate the contrast between the whisper-like vocals in the quieter sections—such as the opening with minimal backing arrangement—and the expressive delivery in the rhythm-driven parts like the chorus.
The high notes in the chorus will be a showcase for singers who are strong in the upper register, but try taking on the challenge with power while being careful not to let the singing or your tone become rough.
Ain’t Nobody KnowHoshino Gen
The song by Gen Hoshino, co-produced with Tom Misch, strongly evokes elements of sultry soul music.
Over a steady beat and beautiful melody, lyrics that trace the intimate relationship between the two resonate deeply.
The music video featuring Nana Komatsu also brilliantly captures a sensual worldview born from the fusion of their musical sensibilities.
Released in October 2019 as part of the digital-only EP “Same Thing,” this track drew attention as a bold new musical venture for Hoshino.
It can be described as an erotic exchange of expression, where the two artists lay bare what matters to them most.
A mature, composed atmosphere gives the song an alluring, sensual allure.
AutomaticDef Tech
Def Tech is a duo that continues to attract fans with their refreshing sound.
They’ve been active since the 2000s and are still consistently turning out classic tracks and hit songs.
Among their catalog, a track I especially recommend for its satisfying high notes is “Automatic.” The falsetto in the chorus is particularly striking, and the song carries an overall sense of exhilaration.
Powerful high notes are great, but these smooth, soaring parts are especially pleasant to listen to, don’t you think?
Beyond the purple nightsupittsu
This is the 44th single by the Japanese rock band Spitz, released exclusively via digital distribution on March 25, 2021.
The track marks the band’s 30th anniversary since their debut, and Masamune Kusano’s vocals—his high tones showing absolutely no sign of decline since their early days—are truly outstanding.
The song showcases his crystal-clear yet powerful upper register to the fullest.
Maintaining such unwavering high notes undoubtedly requires constant care and training of the voice and throat, so I can’t help but feel deep respect for his professional dedication.
It’s a fine piece that blends a pop sensibility with pleasing high tones.
Please enjoy it—and if you’re confident in your high notes, give it a try at karaoke!
SaikaFurederikku
A song by the Japanese rock band Frederic, released digitally on October 6, 2021.
It also serves as the opening theme for the anime The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window.
Frederic’s vocalist Kenji Mihara has a wonderful high-tone voice rich in attractive higher overtones! I think the melody and arrangement of the track are excellently crafted to convey the full appeal of his voice and singing.
Just listening to it leaves you feeling refreshed.
When you sing this song, if you push high notes with a tight throat, it will ruin the song’s atmosphere, so try to keep your throat as open as possible and make good use of resonance in the nasal cavity and maxillary sinuses.
Focusing on placing the voice toward the upper palate will help you ring those high notes beautifully.
WaveShimizu Miisa
Misa Shimizu is a female singer gaining attention as a next-generation R&B artist.
She masterfully uses the rare-for-singers whistle register, and her exceptional vocal ability has become a hot topic in the industry.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend for its exhilarating high notes is “Wave.” While this track doesn’t rely heavily on the whistle voice, it still features soaring high tones throughout.
It also carries the stylish vibe characteristic of R&B, making it a must-listen for anyone who enjoys that kind of sound.
ENDLESS RAINX JAPAN
This is X Japan’s (known as X at the time of release) second major-label single (fourth overall), released in December 1989.
It was reportedly the band’s first ballad.
It’s a ballad distinguished by piano and a luxurious string arrangement.
The vocalist Toshi, well known for his high tenor voice, showcases his appeal beautifully on this elegant ballad.
It’s a track where you can fully savor his high notes with a slightly husky edge.
It’s also wonderful that even at the highest points of the vocal melody, he sings without resorting to falsetto.
