[For Men] Mixed Voice Practice Songs: Reference Tracks to Make High Notes Easier (91–100)
Robinsonsupittsu
Spitz’s 11th single, released in April 1995.
As for this song… in terms of vocal technique level, would it serve as practice material for people who have already mastered the basics? In Robinson, you need to sing long notes at a high pitch, and if you tighten your throat and use what’s called a “throaty voice,” your voice will quickly get tired and you may hurt your throat.
Engage your abdominal muscles to support your upper body, avoid constricting the throat, and practice singing with a slight nasal placement to resonate in the nasal cavity.
Cry BabyOfisharu Higedan Dism
A digital-distribution-only single by Official HIGE DANDism, released on May 7, 2021.
The key changes within the song are particularly striking, and to match the intricately unfolding melodic lines, the vocalist needs to switch among various vocal placements to convey the performance.
The mixed voice used in this track is the so-called chest-voice-based type, achieving piercing high tones.
Because of that, as practice material for mixed voice, it’s likely quite advanced.
However, once you master it, you’ll surely level up as a singer.

heartbeatFukuyama Masaharu
It’s a track included on Masaharu Fukuyama’s 12th original album, AKIRA, released in advance as a pre-delivery single ahead of the album.
It was also selected as the theme song for the NTV Wednesday drama “#Remolove: Normal Love Is a Heresy.” Personally, I’ve always felt that Fukuyama is especially appealing for his somewhat low chest voice, but on this song he delivers a very gentle performance using a mixed voice rich in higher overtones.
His use of mixed voice at the very beginning is extremely skillful; he beautifully handles a melody with many wide leaps to higher notes without ever letting the tone become piercing.
I think the first eight measures or so of this song are ideal practice material for mixed voice.
By all means, study it and make it your own.
LA LA LA Love SongKubota Toshinobu with NAOMI CANBEL
This was Toshinobu Kubota’s 16th single, released on May 13, 1996, under the name Toshinobu Kubota with NAOMI CAMPBELL.
It was chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Long Vacation,” which was especially well received among the wildly popular Monday 9 p.m.
slot in the 1990s, and it became a major hit.
Kubota is known as one of the most skilled singers in the Japanese R&B scene, and the mixed voice he showcases in this track is truly impressive.
To produce a soft mixed voice, he likely reduces the higher overtones slightly and, instead of relying on nasal resonance as is commonly done, places the sound against the soft palate to make effective use of maxillary sinus resonance.
If you listen closely throughout the entire song and carefully study the changes in the higher overtones of the voice, you’ll find it an excellent reference and practice piece for learning effective use of mixed voice.
hellKizu
Among the visual kei bands that debuted in the late 2010s, Kizu stands out for their overwhelming prowess.
Vocalist Lime, known for his mastery of high tones, is highly acclaimed in the industry for his singing ability.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend as a reference for mixed voice is Jigoku (Hell).
The breathtaking mixed voice that appears repeatedly while maintaining richness makes it one of the most difficult pieces among the songs introduced here.
It’s more of a reference track than a practice assignment.
GIFTMr.Children
This is Mr.Children’s 32nd single, released in July 2008.
In addition to being selected as the NHK broadcast theme song for the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics, it was also used in several commercials at the time.
Speaking of Sakurai, the vocalist of Mr.Children, he’s generally known for a powerful singing style, so you might not think of him as a heavy user of mixed voice.
However, in this song, he employs a very effective mixed-voice-like approach in places such as the relatively high notes in the A section and the high notes in the chorus, and I feel that this vocal delivery greatly enhances the song’s impact.
You might miss it if you’re not listening carefully, so be sure to study the original track closely.
I think you’ll come to appreciate the importance of those brief moments of soft high tones.
Of course, there’s a lot to gain from mastering this kind of singing!
WHITE BREATHT.M.Revolution
This is T.M.Revolution’s sixth single, released in October 1997.
The tempo is fast, and the highest note used is a very high hi B, so mastering mixed voice is essential to sing this.
Moreover, it’s not the soft, falsetto-leaning mixed voice often used in R&B, but a chest-voice–oriented mix that keeps the vocal folds firmly adducted with minimal breathiness.
Because of that, it’s best suited as a practice piece for upper-intermediate to advanced singers who already have a solid foundation in vocal technique.
Practice while firmly supporting your torso and voice with your abdominal muscles, and be careful not to fall into so-called “throat singing.”
