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.

A masterpiece with exhilarating high notes: Enchanting high-tone vocals (41–50)
A Cruel Angel’s ThesisTakahashi Yoko
When it comes to karaoke classics, this is definitely the one! This is the famous masterpiece everyone knows: Yoko Takahashi’s “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis.” It gained popularity as the theme song for director Hideaki Anno’s hit anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion.
With its sense of speed and a rhythm that makes you want to dance, it’s a luxurious track packed with all the elements of a hit.
When you sing it at karaoke, go for a powerful high-tone voice like Yoko Takahashi’s! It’s guaranteed to get the crowd going!
Goodbyeofukōsu
Released in December 1979, this is Off Course’s 17th single, featuring Kazumasa Oda—arguably the original high-tenor voice.
I first heard this song when I was in elementary school, experiencing it in real time, and I remember being stunned by the clarity of those high notes.
His upper register doesn’t sound like something trained through vocal exercises; I’m sure his natural voice is simply very high.
He’s truly a born high-tone singer! It’s not a soft falsetto, nor is it a tearing shout—please enjoy a very natural high tone.
There probably aren’t many people who can recreate this vibe at karaoke just as it is.
Feeling great!!mihimaru GT
mihimaru GT released their 9th single in May 2006.
This isn’t the type where you hear superhuman, ultra-high tones, but rather a track where you can enjoy vocalist hiroko’s naturally bright voice with lots of high-frequency color.
The contrast with miyake’s male rap also brings out the light, cheerful tone.
Just like the title says, it’s an uplifting, feel-good song.
Although hiroko’s voice retains a slightly youthful quality, her vocal production and technique are very solid, suggesting she’s an exceptionally skilled performer.
DOLLSJanne Da Arc
Released in May 2004 as Janne Da Arc’s 19th single.
It’s a mid-tempo pop song where you can fully appreciate yasu’s renowned high-tone vocals.
While it does have some of the characteristic quirks typical of visual kei bands’ singing, it’s a track with very clear, transparent vocals.
If you plan to sing this at karaoke, it’s probably best not to imitate the distinctive phrasing too much (lol).
AS ONEUVERworld
UVERworld’s 36th single, released in March 2020.
Their distinctive mixture rock, which emphasizes slightly overdriven synths rather than the classic rock distortion guitar, is alive and well in this track.
It’s a very unique and powerful rock number.
Adding even more punch is TAKUYA∞’s sharply edged high-tone voice.
Compared to overseas artists, his high register may be a touch thinner, but the power that doesn’t fade even in the upper range is undeniably appealing.
I bet many amateur and indie male singers aspire to have a voice like this.
I LOVE…Ofisharu Higedan Dism
This is the fourth single by the Japanese piano pop band Official HIGE DANDism, released in February 2020.
In addition to being selected as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “Love Lasts Forever,” it was also used in an Apple commercial.
Even when listening to the song from the perspective of high-tone vocals and high notes—the theme of this article—the clear, soaring, and transparent high tones of vocalist Satoshi Fujihara, long acclaimed since the band’s debut, are very much alive here.
Rather than patching over parts where chest-voice high notes can’t be reached with falsetto, he skillfully switches, as a true vocal expression, between powerful, ringing high notes in chest voice and a soft falsetto where appropriate—nothing short of outstanding.
It’s a song that teaches you that even when you simply say “high-tone voice,” there are multiple expressive approaches depending on the intent.
I’m proudKahara Tomomi
This is the song “I’m proud,” released in 1996 by Tomomi Kahara, a leading diva of the Komuro Family.
It’s included on the album LOVE BRACE.
It was one of her million-selling hits.
Her clear, high-pitched voice was striking, and her powerful, confident vocals suit the song’s world perfectly.
