[For Men] Mixed Voice Practice Songs: Reference Tracks to Make High Notes Easier (101–110)
Until we meet againOzaki Kiyohiko
Kiyohiko Ozaki’s second solo single, released in March 1971.
As many may have guessed from the release year, the vocals you hear in this song are neither the soft style common in contemporary R&B nor the metallic high notes heard in metal.
Rather, they can be described as a technique based on classical operatic vocalization adapted for this context.
It could be called a mixed voice that resonates clearly in the mid-to-high range without any muddiness.
StarmineDa-iCE
The two members of Da-iCE are known for having wide vocal ranges.
The range in “Starmine” is quite broad at C#3 to D#5.
Points to watch out for are pitch rises and falls, switching between chest voice and falsetto, and the bouncing rhythm.
Right at the start, Hanamura comes in with a growl, but if you brace yourself awkwardly you’ll tense up and hurt your throat, so try to stay relaxed.
I think the most important thing is to sing comfortably, so when you first try it, it’s totally fine to sing the whole thing in falsetto! Once you get used to the song, try gradually strengthening that falsetto.
Use your body so you don’t strain, and above all, enjoy singing!
Bye-Bye to youUVERworld
When it comes to UVERworld’s songs, I always get the impression that they stay in the high register throughout.
By the way, in this track, the pitch stays high from start to finish and moves up and down quite a lot, so if you’re not used to singing high notes, I’m a bit worried you might end up straining your throat.
The high note that pops up at the end of the chorus hits C5, so it might be good to first practice producing just that part with a quick, explosive attack.
To get a powerful voice like vocalist TAKUYA∞, you need solid core support.
If your body wobbles while you’re on a train or bus, that means your lower abdomen (tanden) isn’t engaged.
That instability will affect your singing too, so try to sing with firm strength in your lower belly.
It’s a tough song, so take your time and practice without rushing!
The BeginningONE OK ROCK
This is ONE OK ROCK’s seventh single, released in August 2012.
It was tied in as the theme song for the film Rurouni Kenshin.
The opening section of this track features a soft yet clearly projected high-register delivery, making it an excellent resource for learning mixed voice.
Pay close attention to the differences in vocal production and tone quality across different parts of the song.
If you increase your breath flow slightly and place the sound as if it’s resonating toward the nasal cavity within the mouth, you’ll get closer to the original singer’s tone—try practicing with that approach.
And be sure not to strain your throat.
R/E/D/Kizu
Right now, among up-and-coming visual kei bands, Kizu is drawing attention in the scene for their especially high level.
This year they even pulled off a successful solo show at the Budokan, and their momentum just keeps growing.
R/E/D/ is their new song.
The vocalist, Lime, is known for his use of high tones, and in this track he delivers top-tier high notes you won’t usually hear in mainstream pop.
If you like powerful high vocals with some shouts mixed in, definitely give it a listen.

RocksJAM Project
JAM Project is a vocal group that has earned high acclaim worldwide for their musical style, which adapts Japanese anime songs into hard rock, and for their overwhelming performances.
The group includes famous anisong singers such as Hironobu Kageyama and Masaaki Endoh.
Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend as a reference for mixed voice is “Rocks.” In the opening, Masaaki Endoh’s mixed voice isn’t just high; it has substantial thickness and body.
Their sheer vocal technique is also worth studying, so be sure to check it out.
Cinderella BoySaucy Dog
When this song was released, didn’t everyone try singing it? Listening closely, the A and B sections often hit around the song’s lowest note, E3, so the melody feels relatively calm.
But the chorus jumps all the way up to E5, so when you actually sing it, the leap in pitch can be quite startling.
Getting the pitch right in that section is crucial.
It’s a bittersweet song overall, so it may work well to avoid holding out the ends of phrases and instead leave a lingering aftertaste.
Pauses are also important—treat the silence as part of the rhythm to bring out the mood.
Give it a try!
