Line up before loveOfisharu Higedan Dism
Released on April 22, 2015, “Koi no Maenarai” is a representative early track.
It’s a refreshing pop-rock tune with both lightness and warmth, and its march-like rhythm makes it very easy to get into! In their early days, HIGE DAN didn’t stack tons of high notes, and the keys are set in a range that’s relatively singable for the average male vocalist.
If you like HIGE DAN but feel their songs are too high to sing, definitely start with their early work.
There are plenty of songs that feel distinctly HIGE DAN without requiring soaring high notes! That said, there are still some higher parts, so it might help to sing with your facial muscles lifted and imagine resonating in your head throughout.
TAKE IT BACKDa-iCE
Da-iCE is a boys group that has gained popularity with high-level dance and vocals.
Even men who aren’t interested in idols have probably heard their songs at least once.
Among their works, the one I especially recommend is TAKE IT BACK.
This track is great for practicing mixed voice.
It features extremely high mixed voice parts repeatedly, so it’s not something just anyone can sing, but in terms of mixed voice, it’s about as useful a reference as you can get.
DystopiaONE OK ROCK
ONE OK ROCK is a Japanese rock band that has achieved global success.
When it comes to bands with outstanding vocalists, many people probably think of ONE OK ROCK first.
Among their works, the one I especially recommend is Dystopia.
It’s a track that blends power pop and alternative rock, featuring multiple high notes.
Rather than mix voice, many of the high parts are more like chest voice with shouts, so it’s recommended for those who want to build thickness and endurance in their upper range.
rainbowFujifaburikku
Fujifabric, the legendary band that was hugely active during the Heisei era.
Even after the vocalist Shima passed away, they continued their activities, but they went on hiatus in 2025.
Many of you might feel a lingering attachment and be motivated to sing their songs yourselves.
The track I recommend is Niji (Rainbow).
While the song largely stays in the low-to-mid register, the chorus brings in higher notes.
It has a smooth overall feel, but the highest note reaches hi F#—quite high—and a mixed voice is required toward the end of the chorus.
yuzusutoorii
When I looked up this single released in 2008, thinking “This sounds really familiar,” I found out it was the song used in the Toyota Ractis commercial.
Since it’s a Yuzu song, the key is higher than the average male range, so it’s easier for those good at high notes to sing and aim for a perfect score.
The chorus has many phrases where you hold the ending notes.
Take a solid breath for each one and pay attention to the pitch bar.
I used to tell a student who loved Yuzu and always sang their songs, “It’s high, so keep your facial muscles lifted so your pitch doesn’t drop!” It might be tough until you get used to it, but if your pitch drops even for a moment, it’s hard to fix, so make sure you can lock in the notes around your brow area even in falsetto.

Wind GodVaundy
Vaundy’s new song “Fujin.” Since it’s also the theme song for the TBS drama “Lion’s Hideout,” many of you may already know it.
The real charm of this track is, above all, its groove.
The chorus feels very J-pop, but the A and B sections resemble neo-soul—a genre that blends soul with hip-hop, jazz, and funk.
Because this genre places a strong emphasis on a sense of groove that isn’t typically associated with Japanese music, singing a track like this, with those strong elements, can help you develop a groove akin to that of foreign artists.
gentianWANIMA
A song written as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “The Forensic Doctor Asagao.” In karaoke, it’s a challenging ballad that demands both high notes and expressive delivery! You can really feel WANIMA’s style, with soaring high notes woven into the flowing melody line.
The overall vocal range is B2–D5, and the chorus jumps into the high register all at once, so I’m worried people might strain their throats.
Also, there’s a prominent upper harmony from the chorus, so be careful not to get thrown off by it! It might help to sing with accents that resonate forward in the mask as a basic approach.
Plus, if you carry the same breathing feel from the verse into the chorus, you’ll likely run out of breath and your voice will choke.
Time your breaths and make sure to exhale fully as you sing!
