[For Men] Mixed Voice Practice Songs: Reference Tracks to Make High Notes Easier (91–100)
GET STUPIDXY
XY is a group with an impressive style that mixes band elements into a boy-group concept.
They’re well-known as a group produced by YOSHIKI of X JAPAN.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend as a reference for mixed voice is GET STUPID.
Arranged with a K-pop-like vibe, this track features a relatively low-difficulty mixed voice in the first half—easy enough that some people might even manage it in chest voice.
If you’re not yet comfortable with mixed voice, starting your practice with this song is a great idea.
Let’s become a familyFukuyama Masaharu
Masaharu Fukuyama’s 27th single, released in August 2011.
Speaking of Fukuyama, his appeal lies in his low vocal range, so you might not think of him as an artist who uses much mixed voice.
However, to deliver this calm song, he actually employs his mixed voice very effectively.
It’s a very instructive example of how to use mixed voice within a song that emphasizes the lower-mid range.
＝ (feat. YO_CO)BAK
Released in June 2022, this song is performed as a duet by BAK and YO_CO.
It beautifully showcases their call-and-response and overlapping vocals.
Since both singers primarily use head voice, it’s perfect for those who want to sing head-voice songs.
Because the range is on the higher side, be careful not to strain your throat.
When practicing, try singing with “h”-sounds to naturally release breath; this will make it easier to sing.
A particularly recommended method is to sing all the lyrics using “hi.” The “hi” sound makes humming easier and resonates in the head.
Start by pronouncing it lightly so that it resonates in your head rather than your throat.
Your breath will flow more naturally, and producing head voice will become easier.
Mirror feat. Kosuke Saitoieiri reo
It was released for streaming on October 8, 2025, and was written as the theme song for the NTV Wednesday drama “ESCAPE: It Was Supposed to Be a Kidnapping.” It’s a collaboration between Leo Ieiri and Kosuke Saito, the guitarist-vocalist of UNISON SQUARE GARDEN and TenTwenty.
Despite the very high vocal range, both of their voices soar in the same register, and the result is truly beautiful.
It’s wonderful as a solo, of course, but if possible you’ll want to sing it as a male-female duet! That said, finding a man who can sing this high is no easy task…
When you sing it, try to focus on using your breath and producing a strong tone.
If you aim to resonate in your head while you phonate, you’ll gradually get closer to the right sound.
Core strength matters, too!
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!
Wings of SteelRADWIMPS
This is RADWIMPS’ sixth digital-only single, released on April 5, 2021.
It’s a truly classic ballad with a symphonic arrangement, and within its beautiful composition, Yojiro Noda’s vocals shine as he skillfully switches among various high-register techniques.
Even in terms of this article’s theme—mixed voice—his performance showcases a wide spectrum, from the soft, falsetto-based mix used in the A and B sections to the resonant, chest-voice–based mix in the chorus.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this song a “showcase of mixed voice,” making it an ideal choice for practicing the technique.
You can try copying his delivery exactly, or enjoy singing it in your own style and vocal approach.
1995Hirai Ken
A song by Ken Hirai included on his album “Anata ni Naritakatta,” released on May 12, 2021.
It was selected as the May theme song for NTV’s “Sukkiri.” Among Japanese singers, Ken Hirai is regarded as a master of mixed voice and middle voice, and his wonderful vocals shine in this track as well! Over an upbeat, catchy groove, he freely commands a soft, nimble high tone.
The mixed voice used here is a falsetto-based, gentle production, and the way he skillfully employs it within the rapid-fire delivery of the song is truly impressive.
While it’s a piece that demands considerable skill to sing well, practicing it can yield great benefits—so singers aiming for the next level should definitely give it a try!
