[For Men] Mixed Voice Practice Songs: Reference Tracks to Help You Hit High Notes (71–80)
Don’t Tell NobodyONE OR EIGHT
ONE OR EIGHT is a boys’ group gaining popularity for their high-level dance-vocal performances, known for a strong hip-hop sound.
Among their works, a standout recommendation is “Don’t Tell Nobody.” In the final part transitioning from the pre-chorus to the chorus, a mixed voice comes in.
It’s an ideal track for practicing switching from mixed voice to falsetto.
The mixed voice in the latter part of the bridge is also perfect for practicing producing a powerful mixed voice.
scale (as of a fish or reptile)Hata Motohiro
It’s Motohiro Hata’s second single, released in June 2007.
Personally, I don’t really think of Hata as a singer who often uses mixed voice, but in the chorus and elsewhere he’s probably singing with a chest-dominant mix.
The vocal melody climbs stepwise, so it’s an ideal song for practicing switching from chest voice to mixed voice.
However, if you use a falsetto-leaning mixed voice, the original vibe might not come through, so whether you can faithfully reproduce that aspect will be the key point.
reasonable; natural; proper; fault; especiallyyuzu
Released in August 2025, this is a rock ballad chosen as the theme song for the TV anime “Pokémon: Episode Mega Evolution,” powerfully singing about the meaning of life and the resolve to live! The Japanese flavor you feel right from the intro is a great touch too.
Since it’s by Yuzu, the vocal range is fairly wide at F3–B4.
However, there aren’t any excessively high notes, so as long as your timing is on point, it’s a song you can sing entirely in chest voice.
Avoid straining your throat—lift your soft palate and keep the breath flowing steadily.
When you make a surprised face, do you feel the space opening toward the back of your mouth? That’s your soft palate.
Momentum matters, so take a solid breath and project your voice without hesitation! It’s also recommended to ride the rhythm and sing with higher energy to boost the vibe.
Grandfather’s ClockHirai Ken
The lyrics and music are by Henry Clay Work, and it’s a song that could be called a classic of pop, first published in 1876.
The version by Ken Hirai that I’m introducing this time was released in August 2002.
When it comes to male R&B-style singers with a soft mixed voice, Ken Hirai would surely be at the top of the list.
Although the song itself has no R&B flavor at all, the way he masterfully sings it using a wonderfully soft mixed voice is nothing short of impressive.
I think this is the perfect model for men looking to use mixed voice.
life-formHoshino Gen
This is Gen Hoshino’s eighth single released exclusively for streaming, released in August 2023.
It was written as the theme song for TBS’s World Athletics and Asian Games broadcasts.
It’s a comfortable track with a lightly bouncing, upbeat rhythm that lifts your spirits just by listening.
Over this sprightly backing track, Hoshino masterfully delivers a vocal melody that leaps dramatically up and down, smoothly and exquisitely switching his vocal production.
If you focus especially on his singing in the A section, it can serve as a great reference for how to use and differentiate chest voice, mixed voice, and head voice.
I highly recommend listening carefully and studying it in detail.
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.
