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 (221–230)
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.
leap day personRADWIMPS
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!
