[For Men] Mixed Voice Practice Songs: Reference Tracks to Make High Notes Easier (91–100)

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.

Among Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s songs, “Darling” is especially beloved by many fans as a profoundly moving masterpiece.

The track features falsetto from the very beginning, and as the song progresses, the energy rises, with the falsetto’s impact growing in tandem.

Reproducing it at karaoke can be quite challenging, but because it includes plenty of exhilarating falsetto and mixed voice, why not add it to your karaoke repertoire?

It seems this was the set piece for the 2011 (78th) NHK All-Japan School Music Competition, Junior High Division! The vocal range is quite wide, from A2 to C5.

The falsetto parts appear in the chorus.

The melody line is easy to follow, building nicely through a verse (A), pre-chorus (B), chorus, and final chorus.

First, the A section sits quite low, so be careful not to overuse your throat there.

If you watch choirs or singers’ facial expressions, you’ll notice their eyebrows and facial muscles are lifted quite a bit.

Simply lifting your facial muscles like this helps open the throat and makes singing a bit easier.

It also helps you transition smoothly from chest voice to falsetto.

In addition, make sure to fully support and release your breath on the high falsetto notes.

Aiming your voice straight up toward the top of your head makes falsetto easier to produce.

With just a small shift in awareness, the song becomes much easier to sing—give it a try!

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.

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!
