Peter PanYuuri
Yuuri is a singer-songwriter who’s hugely successful on YouTube and in the media.
While he excels at ballads, the songs that showcase him best are the intense tracks that make use of his shout-tinged vocal quality.
That’s why I recommend Peter Pan.
It’s not an extremely heavy song, but there are sections where he uses shouts.
If you can’t get a shout like his to come out, try boldly raising the key.
Depending on your voice, higher notes can make shouts come out more naturally.
white noiseOfisharu Higedan Dism
It’s the opening theme song for the TV anime Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown Arc.
During vocal training, my students and I were getting excited, saying, “That intro is so cool!” The song itself blends a driving feel with emotional lyrics, making it fairly challenging.
I recommend it for men who want to train range, tempo, and expressiveness all around.
One of my students even used the final melodic section to work on high notes.
The overall vocal range is D#3 to D#5—exactly two octaves.
For the high notes, the key is to avoid pushing too hard and instead create impact by keeping the sound relaxed and open.
By the way, when I told my student, “Don’t force it—send your voice far,” they were able to release tension and sing with a great tone.
Give it a try as a reference!
powder snowRemioromen
A perfect song for emotional expression and pitch control, known as a classic winter ballad.
Highly recommended for those who want to strengthen the fundamentals of male vocals! Many of you may already know it, but the chorus is really high, isn’t it? Both low and high notes matter in singing.
Don’t just practice the high notes—master the low range too so your voice doesn’t get muffled.
Use plenty of breath, release your voice slowly straight ahead, and stay mindful of the low notes.
The song structure builds clearly from verse A to verse B to the chorus, so imagine steadily gaining momentum toward the high parts.
Also, syllables starting with “N” can get nasal and be hard to start cleanly! Project more firmly and farther than you think when you pronounce them.
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.
Wherever you areONE OK ROCK
ONE OK ROCK’s signature song “Wherever you are.” Since it’s sung as a love song that vows eternity, you’ll want to use falsetto to really bring out the song’s appeal.
That said, the falsetto in “Wherever you are” appears mainly at the beginning.
The song builds toward the latter half, so about two-thirds is sung in chest voice.
If you sing the initial guitar-backed section firmly in falsetto to create contrast, it lands stylishly.
Many people who like rock and band music seem to want to sing ONE OK ROCK.
The high range can be a hurdle, but ballads let you cover the high notes with falsetto, so they’re recommended.
Open your throat and keep the breath flowing steadily!

FlowerNaka Kousuke
Takao Nakashima, known for his distinctive musical style that blends island-music elements with pop, has a unique sound.
It’s said that “Hana” was written by Naotaro Moriyama with Nakashima’s vocal timbre and worldview in mind.
My students practice this song too, and every time I listen, I think, “What a beautiful piece!” Nakashima’s voice has an airy openness, and his transitions into falsetto are completely seamless—so beautiful.
The overall range of Hana is E3 to B4, which is quite singable even in chest voice, but since we have the chance, let’s also use falsetto to bring out the bittersweet emotion.
If falsetto is difficult for you, start by singing gently without tensing up.
Take a full breath and sing with the image of projecting your voice right in front of you.
To make the switch to falsetto in the chorus smoother, it also helps to keep your facial muscles lifted throughout.
Before our feelings overlap…Hirai Ken
From the very beginning, Ken Hirai’s beautiful singing voice resonates in this song.
It’s a 2004 track that was used in a TOYOTA Corolla Fielder commercial and also served as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “The Truth of Tsugumi Kuzushi.” The lyrics make it a ballad that feels both like singing and like speaking to someone, so it’s a song you can really get into and sing calmly.
I often point out Ken Hirai’s singing characteristics to my students, so please use them as a reference! First, while it’s memorable that he sings with his eyes closed, in reality, closing your eyes can cause unnecessary tension and make it harder to stay on pitch.
However, Hirai raises his eyebrows and uses his hand to track the pitch while he sings.
He compensates in other ways so that singing becomes more natural and easier.
This gesture also makes it much easier to produce falsetto, so definitely give it a try!
