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.

SubtitleOfisharu Higedan Dism
Official HIGE DANDism is a four-piece piano pop band that combines high-level musicianship with pop appeal, and has become so renowned that virtually everyone in the J-pop scene knows their name.
Their 8th digital single, “Subtitle,” written as the theme song for the TV drama “silent,” is a catchy number with a hook-filled melody that still carries the atmosphere of a classic ballad.
The chorus, which jumps even higher from a melody that moves between high and low ranges, conveys a sense of tension and drama.
It’s a modern pop tune that feels great to sing once you can nail it at karaoke.
MagicMrs. GREEN APPLE
A digital-only track by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, released in June 2023.
It was tied in as the campaign song for Coca-Cola’s Coke STUDIO.
The band’s vocalist, Motoki Omori, is known for a voice rich in captivating high-order overtones, and that signature sound is fully present in this song as well.
From powerful high belts in chest voice to gentle high tones using falsetto, and even piercing high notes, you can enjoy a wide array of high-tone vocals all within a single track.
In a sense, it’s like a showcase of male high-tone vocals, making it one of the best reference songs for anyone aiming to become a high-tone vocalist.
KanadeMs. OOJA
This is a cover of Sukima Switch’s hit song “Kanade” by the female singer Ms.OOJA, included on her album “MAN – Love Song Covers,” which features covers of songs originally sung by male vocalists.
While the original makes extensive use of middle voice to falsetto and offers a soft vocal delivery, this cover presents a straightforward performance sung with a very resonant chest voice.
In terms of vocal approach, it embodies a completely different world from the original.
The arrangement also leans a bit more toward rock, making it a very interesting piece overall!
Become a flowerRyokushokushakai
This is the eighth CD single by the Japanese pop-rock band Ryokuoushoku Shakai, released in December 2023.
The song was written as the opening theme for the NTV anime The Apothecary Diaries, and its theme is said to be “a flower blooming in the shade.” Haruko Nagaya, who serves as the vocalist for Ryokuoushoku Shakai, is a singer known for her taut, powerful, and bright high-tone voice, and you can fully enjoy the appeal of her vocals even within this uptempo, thrilling track.
It’s a song I highly recommend to fans of rock with high-tone female vocals.
I was also personally very drawn to the complex and meticulously crafted rhythm arrangement of the backing track.
A classic with exhilarating high notes. Enchanting high-tone vocals (61–70)
Bring Back LoveTHE ALFEE
As you probably already know, the original is the theme song from the anime Fist of the North Star.
It was performed by Crystal King, but this is a cover version by THE ALFEE included on the series’ 35th-anniversary album, “Denshō.” It was released in January 2019.
In this cover, Takamizawa’s vocals handle the extremely high-pitched, melody-heavy lines with even more ease than Crystal King’s original.
Considering he was 64 at the time of release, it’s nothing short of astonishing!
New EraAdo
Ado’s digital-only single, released in June 2022.
It serves as the theme song for ONE PIECE FILM RED and was written specifically for the film by Yasutaka Nakata.
From the very beginning, the track lets you enjoy Ado’s high-tone vocals over acoustic piano and guitar.
As you’d expect from a Yasutaka Nakata production, the arrangement centers on technopop-style synth sounds, but Ado’s singing on top is highly organic, employing a wide range of vocal tones and expressive techniques—creating a wonderful contrast with the backing track.
It’s also an excellent piece for practicing falsetto (head voice) and smooth transitions between registers, so if you’re a female vocalist aiming for high notes, definitely consider practicing with this song.
Snow BlossomNakajima Mika
There are several signature songs that come to mind when you think of Mika Nakashima, and “Yuki no Hana” is surely one of them.
In February 2019, a film with the same title—a love story inspired by this song and starring Ayami Nakajo—was released.
From the subdued first half building steadily toward the chorus, not only do the high notes soar, but the sense of poignancy rises along with them.
It’s a track with beautiful high tones that can make you feel a refreshing chill even in summer—highly recommended.
