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.

About meSuperfly

Speaking of Superfly, isn’t she one of the quintessential artists for high-pitched songs? This track has been drawing attention because she covers Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s “Boku no Koto” in the original key.

With Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, you feel a sense of poignancy and fragility, whereas with Superfly, it comes across as forward-looking and straight-from-the-heart strength—that’s the fun of cover songs.

The soaring high notes rising to D5 in the chorus and the falsetto at G5 fit this theme perfectly, and it’s incredibly satisfying to listen to!

ZUTOMAYO is a band that enjoys overwhelming support from listeners in their teens and early twenties.

They specialize in songs that blend catchiness with emotional depth, and among those, the track I especially recommend is Shade no Hoko-ri wa Enchō (The Dust of the Shade Extends).

It features a large number of mixed-voice sections and very few rests, so it demands strong stamina and precise pitch control in the high range.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

To be honest, I didn’t know this band, so I did some research to write this article and listened to their music for the first time—and wow, what a distinctive and fascinating band… or rather, songs! The vocals, sung entirely in falsetto, are especially striking.

In the recordings, beyond the falsetto itself, it also sounds like they’re actively using some corrective effects to process the voice, but a vocal performance that commits so thoroughly to falsetto can only be described as impressive.

It’s surprisingly hard to pull off, so if any guys out there are confident in their high range, definitely give it a try at karaoke!

This is KANA-BOON’s 12th major-label single, released in March 2019.

It also served as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime Karakuri Circus.

It’s a song where you can enjoy a very resonant high tone that never thins out even at higher pitches.

The vocals likely make skillful use of a “chest-leaning mixed voice” with solid nasal resonance, and it would be an excellent piece to use as practice material for mastering this kind of vocal production.

This song opens NOVELA’s debut album, Mukokugeki (Enchanted Theater), by the Japanese progressive hard rock band; the album was released in March 1980.

I first heard it when I was in my first year of junior high school, and above all, I was stunned by the unique high tone of vocalist Hisakatsu “Angie” Igarashi.

His voice is truly distinctive—neither quite falsetto nor exactly mixed voice—so listeners tend to be sharply divided in their preferences.

But if you like male high-tone vocals and haven’t experienced this one yet, I highly recommend it! In fact, about 25 years after the album’s release, I produced Angie’s solo album and contributed songs.

For that reason as well, this track holds a very special place in my heart.
