CITRUSDa-iCE
Da-iCE’s “CITRUS” shot to fame as a high-tone song! I bet many of you, regardless of gender, have tried singing it.
The overall vocal range is F3–D5, which is generally easier for women than men, so Da-iCE hitting those high notes makes them a group many men admire.
The A and B sections sit in a relatively calm range, but the tricky part is how the chorus suddenly jumps up into the high register.
When you’re firing off high notes, if your falsetto isn’t stable, you can strain your throat.
Keep the sensation of “resonating in your head” at all times—your facial muscles will naturally lift, so don’t forget to stay mindful of that.
Also, you’ll need good explosiveness, so project your voice as if you’re aiming far away.
In the last chorus, the key modulates and the pitch goes even higher, so it’s okay to sing out more than you think!
TATOOOfisharu Higedan Dism
This is Official HIGE DANDism’s 10th digital-only single, released in April 2023.
It was reportedly written as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “Pending Train: 8:23, Ashita Kimi to.” For ordinary listeners to sing this well at karaoke, the key, above all, is how closely you can replicate vocalist Satoshi Fujihara’s very taut, soaring high-tone voice.
Try to sing without constricting your throat as much as possible.
If you aim your voice toward the upper palate, your singing will likely include lots of sparkling higher overtones like his, so give it a try.
Also, be careful not to let the slightly bouncy rhythm become flat.
CENTER OF UNIVERSEMr.Children
CENTER OF UNIVERSE is a slow-tempo rock track that’s very popular among fans.
Its vocal range is wide, from mid1C to hiA, with a notably low lower register.
The chorus sits at the lowest part, but since the song itself feels bright, you need to project well even in the low range.
The rapid-fire section at the end of the chorus demands endurance in the throat, so be careful not to over-open your throat in the low notes and strain yourself.
While many Mr.Children songs are known for their high melodies, this one is challenging for its low notes, so if you have a deeper voice, definitely give it a try.
over the topMiyamoto Hiroji
Hiroji Miyamoto, the frontman of Elephant Kashimashi.
Lately, he’s been very active as a solo artist as well, and through collaborations he’s become known among younger generations, too.
Among his works, “over the top” is one of the most difficult songs he’s released.
The piece spans a very wide vocal range, and all the high phrases are sung powerfully, demanding considerable throat strength and lung capacity.
On top of that, several subtly delicate techniques appear throughout, making it an exceptionally challenging song.
Bye-Bye to youUVERworld
Speaking of UVERworld’s songs, they tend to stay in the high register throughout.
This track, too, keeps high notes from start to finish, and the pitch moves up and down quite a lot, so if you’re not used to singing high, there’s a concern you might end up straining your throat.
The high note that pops up at the end of the chorus jumps to a C5, so it might be good to start by practicing just that part to hit it explosively.
To produce a powerful voice like vocalist TAKUYA∞, you need solid core support! If your body wobbles while riding a train or bus, it means your lower abdomen (tanden) isn’t engaged.
That will make your singing waver too, so try singing with firm strength in your lower abdomen.
It’s a difficult song, so don’t rush—practice steadily!
mixed nutsOfisharu Higedan Dism
Official HIGE DANDism’s hit “Mixed Nuts,” best known as the theme song for the popular anime SPY×FAMILY, is one of their most beloved tracks, yet it contains several elements that make it quite challenging despite its catchy melody.
Most notably, the vocal range: including the falsetto parts, it spans from mid1 D# to hihi A#, which is extremely wide, and the chorus repeatedly hits hi C#.
The song stands out for its overall high tessitura, making it a piece that demands strong vocal stamina.
All’s well that ends well.kocchi no kento
This is a song released on April 8, 2025, created as the opening theme for the TV anime “Vigilante: My Hero Academia ILLEGALS.” It’s an up-tempo rock number that depicts a hero’s inner conflict and rebirth, making it a perfect karaoke practice song for improving rhythm, diction, and emotional expression! The real challenge is how well you can memorize the lyrics and keep up with the tempo.
As you listen, you’ll notice that Kento sings quite clearly and crisply, right? Not everything is delivered crisply, of course—this is where contrast and dynamics come into play.
First, I’d like you to feel the beat by clapping your hands or moving your body, and think about where to place the accents to make it easier to sing.
I recommend accenting the downbeat—the first beat.
