Lead / Don’t Stay【Music Video】

Lead is a three-member Japanese dance and vocal group that has been active since the 2000s.

In their early days, they mainly released songs that epitomized J-pop, but recently they’ve been incorporating K-pop-style elements that are trending, and their popularity has been heating up even more.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend for men with higher voices is “Don’t Stay.” While this song does include characteristics of K-pop, it has an overall strong rock flavor.

If you want to showcase powerful upper-mid to high notes, be sure to check it out.
