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.

This is Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s 10th single, released in November 2022.

It was used as the theme song for the film “From Lageri with Love,” starring Kazunari Ninomiya and Keiko Kitagawa.

From the very start—opening without an intro and jumping straight into the vocals—Oomori’s wonderful high tone bursts forth, inevitably heightening anticipation for how the song will unfold.

As you listen on, it becomes a continuous showcase of high-register singing—practically a fair for high tones—making it an ideal, high-level practice piece for those aiming to be high-tone singers.

It’s a track where the dramatic, beautifully arranged music and Ninomiya’s high-tone vocals are in exquisite harmony!

metropoliskurisutaru kingu

A hit single by Crystal King, released in November 1979.

Speaking personally, the first time I heard this song was when I was in elementary school, when Crystal King appeared in the Spotlight segment of the TV show The Best Ten.

That piercing high-tone voice was unlike anything I’d heard before and was incredibly shocking.

I’ve heard that the high-register vocalist, Masayuki Tanaka, started singing because he admired Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin.

Even now, long after its release, that soaring high voice still feels exhilarating to hear!

DAZBEE is a female singer whose one-of-a-kind vocal timbre has won her a wide following.

Hailing from South Korea, she enjoys tremendous support in Japan’s utaite scene.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend for its satisfying high notes is “Cabo da Roca.” Centered on distinctive piano and soothing strings, the arrangement pairs with her delicate vocals to vividly convey the song’s world.

DAZBEE’s falsetto transitions from her chest voice with remarkable smoothness, offering an exceptionally soothing listening experience.

DAZBEE is a female singer with a one-of-a-kind, beautiful vocal tone.

She’s a Korean artist active in Japan, and she has released many great songs that make the most of her voice.

Among her works, “Fairy” is a standout for its pleasing high notes.

Based on Celtic music, the song maintains a fantastical atmosphere throughout.

While the notes aren’t extremely high, the consistently high, whispery vocals make it an exceptionally pleasant listen.

The rock band go!go!vanillas has gained popularity for their wide-ranging musicality.

In addition to J-pop and alternative rock, they mix in ska and rockabilly, creating a distinctive and complex sound that’s highly praised even by hardcore music aficionados.

Among their songs, the one that particularly shines for its satisfying high notes is Leyline.

With an emotive melody, it features pleasant falsetto moments throughout.

The falsetto is smooth and unobtrusive, making it suitable even as background music for sleep.

Ephemeral yet eternal sorrowUVERworld

A song that was used as the opening theme for Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

The voice is sweet but not overly so, which is part of its appeal, and I’d recommend it not only to women but also to men.

The guitar’s low-end sound further enhances its coolness.

It’s not just enjoyable to listen to—it’s the kind of song that makes you want to sing it at karaoke.

If a guy really nails it, he might even steal the show and win over all the women that day.

As a member of Girls’ Generation, Sooyoung has been active for many years.

Since she originally worked as an idol in Japan, she has now made her solo debut there.

The song marking her debut is Unstoppable.

It evokes 2000s R&B and, at times, even sounds reminiscent of BoA’s music.

The falsetto that comes in midway through the chorus feels incredibly satisfying and sexy, so be sure to check it out.
