[For Men] Mix Voice Practice Songs: Reference Tracks to Help You Hit High Notes (61–70)
SubtitleOfisharu Higedan Dism
This song gives me the impression of a moving, listen-worthy ballad.
To sing it with a beautiful, breathy tone like vocalist Fujiwara’s, lung capacity, diaphragmatic breathing, and body awareness are all important.
You might think, “There’s so much to keep in mind,” but don’t worry! First, when you sing, make sure to really listen to the backing drums.
If you match your singing to the drum accents, it becomes easier to keep rhythm and to hit the high notes.
By the way, even my female students struggled with this song, saying “It’s so high!” but I think the key lies in how you produce the sound.
If you sing with the image of resonating in the back of your head, the overall tone becomes softer, bringing you closer to Fujiwara’s gentle voice.
There are also expansive long tones, so find the placement where your voice feels good and try singing from there.
BREAKOUTSnow Man
Snow Man is a nine-member boy group that has gained popularity for its acrobatic dance and vocal technique that can go toe-to-toe with K-pop.
Among their many songs that make frequent use of high-tone vocals, the one I especially recommend as a reference for mixed voice is BREAKOUT.
While mixed voice doesn’t appear throughout the entire track, it does appear twice in the chorus.
It’s also a song that tends to be well-received by women, so be sure to master it.
LemonYonezu Kenshi
This is Kenshi Yonezu’s eighth major-label single, released in February 2018.
It was written as the theme song for TBS’s Friday drama “Unnatural.” The slightly minor-key, melancholic melody and overall tone are incredibly appealing.
The vocal melody is also very easy to sing and remember, and even years after its release, the song’s level of polish makes it easy to see why it’s still loved by so many people in Japan.
While the track doesn’t rely heavily on high-tone vocals, it does showcase higher notes at key moments—especially in the chorus—making it a solid recommendation for male singers with higher voices or those confident in their high range at karaoke.
Listen closely to the original and pay attention to switching between chest voice and falsetto as you sing.
Professionalism feat. HannyaAli
ALI is a band highly acclaimed for their musical style that blends every genre, including funk, soul, and jazz.
Among ALI’s works, a track I especially recommend as a reference for mixed voice is “Professionalism feat.
Hannya.” While the studio version doesn’t feature mixed voice, the song is sometimes performed with mixed voice in live versions.
If you raise the key by one or two steps, it’s perfect for practicing mixed voice—so give it a try.
MAKAFUKARADWIMPS
A track included on RADWIMPS’ eighth major-label album, FOREVER DAZE, released on November 23, 2021.
It’s arranged in a very RADWIMPS-like symphonic style and crafted into a beautiful ballad.
The vocals by Yojiro Noda on this song are also outstanding! Not limited to the theme of this article—mixed voice—he deftly switches among various vocal techniques to express this grand and beautiful piece.
Even in sections that at first listen seem to be sung in chest voice, if you listen closely, the singing contains many high-order overtones, and I felt that a mixed-voice approach is used extensively throughout the song.
When you practice this, try to sing with the sensation of placing your voice against the upper palate inside your mouth as much as possible.
Just doing this should give you a voice rich in high-order overtones like his.
However, please be careful not to constrict your throat when vocalizing.
I should be able to fly (in the sky).supittsu
This is Spitz’s eighth single, released in April 1994.
It’s a massive hit that represents ’90s J-pop, so many of you have probably heard it.
Now, the theme of this piece is mixed voice.
Its definition is actually ambiguous; I interpret it as a stronger falsetto or a slightly gentler, chest-voice high tone.
In Kusano’s vocals on this track, that kind of production is used extensively throughout the song.
If you study his singing closely, you’ll find many examples that can serve as helpful references for using mixed voice effectively.
I encourage each of you to study and practice it on your own.
leap day personRADWIMPS
A single by RADWIMPS, also used as the theme song for the film “The Last 10 Years,” released in March 2022.
It’s a beautiful ballad where you can hear Yojiro Noda’s wonderful mixed voice right from the intro.
At first listen, it seems to be sung mainly in mixed voice throughout most of the song, but the selective use of falsetto in certain parts should be very instructive for anyone aiming to master mixed voice and falsetto.
Try practicing by placing the voice toward the upper palate and aiming for a gentle, soft tone.
I’m sure you’ll gain a lot from it!
