[For Men] Mixed Voice Practice Songs: Reference Tracks to Help You Hit High Notes (71–80)
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.
About meMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is known for their falsetto and mixed voice.
A song that perfectly fits this theme is definitely “Bokuno Koto”! It was chosen as the support song for the 97th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament.
When you sing it, if you switch between parts sung entirely in falsetto and parts delivered powerfully with mixed voice, you’ll add impact and really impress those around you.
One thing to watch out for when switching vocal qualities is that if you change the place where you produce the sound, your balance will suffer and the transitions between chest voice and falsetto won’t be smooth.
Keep focusing on producing the sound from the vocal folds at all times.
The impression of your voice changes depending on whether you project it forward from the vocal folds or direct it backward.
Try different approaches, and when you sing while sending your voice in the direction that feels easiest for you, you’ll be able to produce both falsetto and mixed voice comfortably!
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!

You‘re the Only…Ono Masatoshi
Masatoshi Ono’s third single, released in August 1992.
Ono—also active as the singer of the heavy metal band Galneryus and known as an ultra high-tone vocalist—makes this a fairly advanced pick as material for practicing mixed voice.
In Ono’s case, due to the nature of his songs, he hardly ever uses chest voice within the performance, so you could say he sings almost the entire track in mixed voice.
He doesn’t use falsetto much either, which suggests exceptionally refined vocal fold control.
Take your time without rushing, and if possible, expand your upper range through practice after receiving proper voice training.
I can’t cover the methods here, so if you’d like more details, please send me a message.
mysteryHoshino Gen
This is a digital-only single by Gen Hoshino, released on April 27, 2021.
It was later issued on CD in June of the same year.
It was written as the theme song for TBS’s Tuesday drama “Kikazaru Koi ni wa Riyuu ga Atte.” Gen Hoshino is well known for vocals that strongly reflect influences from soul music within a pop framework, and his vocal ability and expressive delivery are on full display in this track as well.
You can fully enjoy his singing that skillfully employs the kind of soft mixed voice often heard in Western soul music.
It’s essentially a “falsetto-based mixed voice,” but if you aim for softness and your support collapses, the performance can fall apart.
For the high-tone parts, practice keeping your upper body well supported with your core while releasing your voice without constricting the throat.
Maintaining that sense of “softness” is, I believe, crucial to really mastering this song.
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.
Giri Giri ChopB’z
B’z’s 26th single, released in June 1999.
It also served as a theme song for the anime Detective Conan.
What’s amazing about vocalist Inaba is that he uses mixed voice to hit notes that most people could only reach with falsetto.
That makes this song quite an advanced pick.
As the name suggests, mixed voice blends chest voice and head voice, but in his case he masterfully uses a mix with a very strong chest component—truly impressive.
If a beginner suddenly tries this song, there’s a high risk of straining or injuring the voice or throat.
So aim to one day sing it in the original key, and focus on steadily developing your vocal technique.
