A masterpiece with exhilarating high notes. An enchanting high-tone voice.

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

From around 1995 to 2000, he built experience as a composer and producer at a major label, then moved to the United States. In Los Angeles, he studied vocalization and singing under top voice trainer Elizabeth Sabine, mastering the so-called Hollywood vocal method she advocated. After returning to Japan, he trained and produced a variety of singers, earning high praise for his direction that maximized the appeal of both the songs and the vocalists. In a collaboration video with Guild’s vocalist ryuichi, he handled keyboard performance, vocal direction, and sound production. (Passed away in 2025)

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.

RADWIMPS – Leap Day Person [Official Music Video]

A song by RADWIMPS included on the soundtrack album for the film Leap Day Person, released on March 4, 2022.

It’s a very beautiful ballad, crafted so you can fully enjoy vocalist Yojiro Noda’s gentle voice rich with highly appealing higher overtones.

As of June 2022, when this article is being written, it doesn’t appear to have been released as a single yet, but it’s such a charming, tender ballad that I truly hope it gets a single cut.

When you sing it at karaoke, be careful not to get sloppy with the high notes and avoid constricting your throat.

Try aiming your voice toward the upper palate; I think that’s the key to achieving those radiant highs like the original singer.

Give it a try!
