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)
MAKAFUKARADWIMPS
A track from RADWIMPS’ album FOREVER DAZE, released on November 23, 2021, and the theme song for the smartphone app game Gran Saga.
RADWIMPS’ vocalist, Yojiro Noda, is also a singer known for his very soft high-tone voice, and you can fully enjoy that vocal quality in MAKAFUKA, the song I’m introducing here.
I think his vocal style suits this kind of dramatic, ballad-like song very well.
If you’re aiming to sing like him, try listening closely to how he breathes within the song and how he switches his vocal production.
The world is fancy.UNISON SQUARE GARDEN
UNISON SQUARE GARDEN radiates an overwhelming presence with their superhumanly clear articulation and exceptional vocal control.
Of course, their uniquely stylish songwriting as a band is a major draw, but when talking about them, the vocalist’s singing ability is key.
In their 2020 release “Sekai wa Fancy,” vocalist Saito’s technique is on full display.
To sing their songs well, you’ll need to practice crisp diction, energetic delivery, and hitting high notes.
If you push your volume too much, it becomes harder to control, so keeping your singing slightly lighter might help you sing better than usual!
Biscuitchanmina
Chanmina’s masterpiece “Biscuit.” It didn’t become a huge mainstream hit, but it’s an extremely popular track among fans.
The song has a generally downbeat mood, so you might think it lacks that satisfying high-note payoff.
It’s true there’s only one high-note section—the C-melody—but it’s breathtaking, featuring even more intense highs than her signature song “Bijin.” It’s brief, but the thrill is incredible, so definitely give it a listen.

hellKizu
Kizu is drawing attention in the industry as one of the most skilled bands among the younger generation of visual kei.
Beyond their top-tier musicianship, vocalist Lime’s singing ability is remarkable—easily among the top three in the V-kei scene.
Among Kizu’s songs, Jigoku particularly showcases his captivating high notes.
It’s an all-out hard rock track, and the chorus features extremely high parts.
His mixed voice, delivered with both thickness and power intact, is absolutely stunning.
single-minded; wholehearted; devoted; earnestKing Gnu
This is King Gnu’s fourth CD single, released on December 29, 2021.
It was also selected as the theme song for the anime film Jujutsu Kaisen 0, which was slated for theatrical release on December 24, 2021, and the track was made available for streaming ahead of the CD release.
It’s an up-tempo rock number, but the high tones you hear aren’t the piercing kind often found in rock; instead, it’s a song where you can enjoy soft high notes skillfully delivered using falsetto and mixed voice.
The contrast between the somewhat intense backing track and the soft high vocals is part of the song’s appeal.
1995Hirai Ken
A track from Ken Hirai’s album “Anata ni Naritakatta,” released on May 21, 2021.
Ken Hirai is known for his soft high-tone voice, and you can fully enjoy its charm even in this upbeat, catchy number.
In particular, his vocal expression in the B-melody, where he skillfully uses mixed voice, is noteworthy.
The way he delivers it flawlessly amid the fast-paced, densely packed lyrics of this uptempo song makes you think, “As expected!!!” It’s also excellent as a practice piece for mastering mixed-voice singing, so be sure to study his performance for reference!
By the time of the Christmas carolsInagaki Junichi
This is Junichi Inagaki’s 27th single, released in October 1992.
It’s such a classic among J-pop Christmas songs that it hardly needs any explanation! I doubt there’s anyone who hasn’t heard it.
In fact, as of December 2023, it remains Inagaki’s biggest hit.
Of course, one reason for its massive success is the song itself—its incredibly appealing melody and lyrics that resonate with so many people.
But what truly defines its charm, above all, is Inagaki’s soft yet powerful high-tone voice.
Pay special attention to the chorus, where his high notes deliver a wide range of expressive nuances.
