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)
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.
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.
