Challenge your limits! A collection of Vocaloid songs with high keys and soaring high melodies
Many people probably have the impression that “Vocaloid songs have high keys.” In fact, the pitch range you can manipulate with synthetic vocal software is quite wide.
If you own one, you know—you’ve probably tried making it sing at absurdly high pitches, right? In this article, I’ve put together a list of Vocaloid songs with high keys! I think it’s a playlist that can help you choose songs for karaoke or cover videos.
Strictly speaking, in music theory there’s a difference between “a melody that includes high notes” and “a song with a high key,” but I’ve kept things loose here to be more accessible.
By all means, challenge the limits of your own vocal cords!

I don’t know anything about music.Kanzaki Iori
Vocaloid producer Kanzaki Iori, known for poetic songs with strong storytelling, has drawn significant attention.
His signature track, “Inochi ni Kirawarete Iru” (“Hated by Life Itself”), has been covered by many artists, including the singer Mafumafu.
Among his works, the song best known for its high key is “I Don’t Understand Music.” It was included on the 2019 album “Hakushi” (“Blank”).
Its straightforward band sound unfolds at a slow tempo and strikes straight to the heart.
Hatsune Miku’s high notes, carrying a sense of longing, are absolutely swoon-worthy.
Although the key is high, the melody develops within a fairly consistent range, making it a great recommendation for those trying high-tone vocals for the first time!
Spin∞Spindainamikku jien zu
Dynamic Ji-enz is a music project set up as a band by Carlos Hakamada.
The video drawing attention on their YouTube channel is “∞ Mawaru ∞.” It’s a song themed around sushi, comically depicting plates circling on a conveyor-belt sushi lane.
The vocals use Hatsune Miku and Otomachi Una, featuring ultra-high harmonies.
It’s a level of singing that humans would find hard to produce.
Also unique is the band member introduction during the instrumental break.

Fans of passionate Japanese rock will surely get hooked.
Why not push your vocal limits to its danceable beat?
EternityHainomi
An addictive track like a fizzy soda, blending poppiness with freshness.
Hainomi, a Vocaloid producer known for stylish tunes, released it on March 22, 2022 as their fifth song.
With an arrangement that mixes city pop and EDM, it presents a unique sonic world.
If you enjoy futuristic electronic music like Perfume, this will definitely hit the spot! The highest note in this song is hi F#, F#5.
Since it falls into a range that can feel challenging even for female singers, we recommend using falsetto and mixed voice as much as possible.
Beautiful FictionPinokio P
PinocchioP, a Vocaloid producer who has inducted numerous works into the hall of fame with his richly varied musical style.
Released on November 20, 2018, “Beautiful na Fiction” draws you in with its delicate synth sounds and dramatic song structure.
Unlike many VOCALOID tracks that push excessively high notes, this one has fewer extreme highs; however, the ad-lib sections in the interlude are pitched higher than the main melody.
If you can’t reach those notes yet, it’s best to start by mastering the melody first.
It’s an emotional pop tune that feels great to sing once you’ve got it down for karaoke.
The day I cried for the first timeKasamura Tōta
Tota Kasamura’s “The Day I Cried for the First Time” stimulates and moves the listener’s heart at the same time.
It’s a gently flowing ballad, and as you listen, you’ll find yourself crying naturally.
The lyrics are sprinkled with faint memories of youth and resonate as if staying close to the listener’s heart.
Isn’t it wonderful to be able to sing a song like this so naturally?
hourglassHiiragi Kirai
“Hourglass” is so addictive it feels like it could brainwash you.
It’s a track by the hugely popular Vocaloid producer Kirai Hiiragi, known for releasing many songs such as “Loveka?” and “Bocca della Verità.” It was released in October 2022, and even though only about a month has passed since then, it has already surpassed 290,000 plays.
The highest note that appears in this song is hi G, G5.
For women, it’s about the height you can just manage to sing using falsetto! If you’re used to singing artists like YOASOBI, you should be able to handle it.
Definitely give it a try!
