[For Men] Mixed Voice Practice Songs: Reference Tracks to Help You Hit High Notes (1–10)
Sugar Song and Bitter StepUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
UNISON SQUARE GARDEN’s 10th single, released in May 2015.
This song is quite advanced as practice material for mixed voice.
The vocal melody keeps hitting high notes, and if you sing them in falsetto the song will lose its power; if you sing them in chest voice, the light, brisk feel will be completely lost.
Tighten the abdominal muscles around your solar plexus without constricting your throat, and try singing with the image of using the cavity of your upper palate to the fullest and resonating the voice inside your oral cavity.
Even if you wait for a miracleSaucy Dog
Saucy Dog is a rock band that enjoys overwhelming support from young people.
Their defining feature, above all, is vocalist Shinya Ishihara’s high-tone voice.
Their famous song “Kiseki wo Mattetatte” is characterized by a dramatic melody themed around heartbreak.
The chorus reaches very high notes, featuring repeated use of mixed voice and falsetto.
In particular, the mixed voice parts appear at the most intense moments, so a certain degree of vocal thickness and power is required.
Driver’s HighL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
Among L’Arc~en~Ciel’s many songs, “Driver’s High” is one of the most popular.
It also served as the theme song for the anime GTO, which helped it gain worldwide acclaim.
The song’s vocal range is quite wide, from mid1 E to high B.
While high B is often sung in falsetto, in this song it’s delivered with a mixed voice, and it appears frequently—six times in total.
It’s a perfect piece for practicing mixed voice, which requires strong projection, so definitely give it a try.

Wherever you areONE OK ROCK
ONE OK ROCK’s signature song “Wherever you are.” Since it’s sung as a love song that vows eternity, you’ll want to use falsetto to really bring out the song’s appeal.
That said, the falsetto parts in “Wherever you are” appear near the beginning.
The arrangement builds toward the end, so about two-thirds of it is sung in chest voice.
If you sing the opening guitar-backed section firmly in falsetto to create contrast, it lands stylishly.
People who like rock and bands often want to sing ONE OK ROCK—that’s the impression I get.
The high range can be a hurdle, but ballads let you cover the high notes with falsetto, so they’re recommended.
Open your throat, keep the breath flowing, and master mixed voice!
A prayer resounding across the skyAqua Timez
The band Aqua Timez, revived for a limited time until the end of 2025.
This track, “Sora Ippai ni Kanaderu Inori,” is a new song that reconstructs the classic of the same name released in 2005, and it’s composed of highly dramatic and moving lyrics and melodies.
It’s not an extremely high-pitched piece overall, but the chorus features phrases that sit around the middle between mixed voice and chest voice.
Because these phrases must be sung on the vowel sound “i,” it can be considered slightly more difficult than a typical mixed voice line.
Watercolor MoonHata Motohiro
Hata Motohiro’s masterpiece “Suisa no Tsuki” (Watercolor Moon) is distinguished by its emotional melody.
Released after his nationwide hit “Himawari no Yakusoku,” this track has a notably acoustic and calm finish.
The vocal range is mid1F to hiC, which is on the slightly narrow side, but the chorus features consecutive high notes up to hiC, making it more difficult to sing than it may sound.
If you have a higher voice, try singing the falsetto parts with mixed voice.
Be sure to check it out.
At any timeMakihara Noriyuki
This is Noriyuki Makihara’s third single, released in June 1991.
It could be considered an excellent example of a clear mixed voice based on falsetto.
He skillfully switches his vocal production so you can’t tell where the transition points are, which might make many listeners think at first, “Isn’t this all falsetto?” It’s an ideal song for practicing a clean mixed voice that centers on falsetto elements.
