[For Men] Mix Voice Practice Songs: Reference Tracks to Make High Notes Easier (11–20)
CANDYMr.Children
Mr.Children’s classic song “CANDY,” included on the acclaimed 2005 album “I♡U.” This piece is characterized by a fairly wide vocal range of mid1 C# to hi B, with the highest chest note at hi A.
Although that note doesn’t appear often, it comes up once in each pre-modulation chorus, so before singing, be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing and conscious breath control.
If you’re confident in your upper range, it might be interesting to challenge yourself by singing the post-modulation hi B not in falsetto but with a mixed voice.
monstermakaroni enpitsu
Bakemono by Macaroni Empitsu, known as the theme song for the film The Fire-Eating Bird, leans slightly toward the low end with a range of roughly mid1 D to hi C, and its overall range is fairly wide.
The key challenge of this song isn’t the range itself but the rapid shifts in pitch; the chorus features intense up-and-down movement.
Although it doesn’t rely heavily on mixed voice, sudden high tones appear right after low notes, making it an ideal piece for training mixed-voice production with a focus on pitch control.
First kissrikon densetsu
Rikon Densetsu is a duo whose sound impressively blends R&B elements into J-pop.
Their song First Kiss is one of their signature tracks and is known as the theme song for a Honda commercial.
While the song’s range isn’t particularly wide, the overall tessitura is high, so if you have a narrower vocal range, you’ll likely need to use mixed voice.
It also has a slight city-pop vibe, making it a great choice for those who want to practice producing a smooth, flowing mixed voice.
Call meNovelbright
Although a rock band, Novelbright also enjoys idol-like popularity.
They have many fans regardless of gender.
Their song “Call me” features a very refreshing melody.
While it’s pleasant to listen to, the difficulty level is quite high: in the repeated chorus sections, a falsetto close to mixed voice appears.
For men with an average vocal range around hi D# (D#5), these high-tone phrases are at a pitch that easily causes the voice to crack.
If you’re confident in your high notes, definitely give it a try.
C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h.NEW!ONE OK ROCK
A medium-tempo ballad about friendship and youth, included on the 5th album “Zankyo Reference,” released in 2011.
Taka wrote it in his early twenties for friends who were entering the working world—an impassioned message song about the bonds with cherished companions.
Many men probably admire ONE OK ROCK’s Taka’s singing voice at least once in their lives; his natural voice is straight, beautiful, and powerful.
When you sing, try to focus on diaphragmatic breathing, core stability, and explosive power.
Work on each element steadily—engage your lower abdomen firmly and give it a try.
Que sera, seraMrs. GREEN APPLE
For men in their teens and twenties, when you think of a vocalist who masterfully uses mixed voice, Motoki Ohmori of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE likely comes to mind.
Among the band’s songs, the one I especially recommend as a reference for mixed voice is “Que Sera Sera.” The vocal lines, which interweave falsetto and mixed voice, are extremely challenging, but if you can master this piece, your singing ability will improve dramatically.

THE DAYPorunogurafiti
Porno Graffitti is also known for having a high vocal range, but isn’t THE DAY one of their highest songs, especially? The tempo is quite fast too, so when it comes time to sing it, I think it’ll be tough to keep up unless you really memorize the song first.
Also, vocalist Okano’s technique is almost entirely chest voice—he belts the high notes in his natural voice—but the highest note at the end of the chorus, C#5, is falsetto.
If you can manage that switch, you’ll be set! Since the song is uptempo, if you’re not comfortable with high notes, I recommend lowering the key by one or two steps instead of jumping straight into the original key when you practice.
Rather than worrying about pitch at first, start by getting used to the speed! You might get caught up in the effort of singing, but don’t forget to breathe!
