Challenge your limits! A collection of Vocaloid songs with high keys and soaring high melodies

I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

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!

Challenge Your Limits! A Collection of Vocaloid Songs with High Keys and High-Pitched Melodies (101–110)

An intense EDM beat carries an aggressive melody that stirs your fighting spirit just by listening.

“Then your ideology should die” is a track released on December 12, 2020, by Shiino Kumo, who has been active as a Vocaloid producer since the age of 13.

The fast tempo and frequent shifts in tone alone may feel challenging to keep up with.

The song’s highest note is hi D#, D#5.

If a male singer tries to hit this note in chest voice, it might strain the throat.

Incorporating falsetto or mixed voice, or setting the key to -3, will make it easier to sing!

Fools yearn for anomalies.Utsu P

Taking on high vocal ranges plus death growls! This song by Utsu-P, a Vocaloid producer known for heavy metal and loud sounds paired with razor-sharp, straight-to-the-heart messages, was released in 2012.

It’s a piece of mixture rock that colors a weighty band sound with aggressive electronic tones.

Many listeners will likely relate to the lyrics about hating being ordinary and longing to become a weirdo.

You might find yourself thinking, “It’s true, I used to think like that when I was younger…”

The shady sonic image and dark worldview are irresistible.

This piece by fruit-themed Vocaloid producer Nirukajitsu was released in 2019.

While it’s built around a four-on-the-floor rhythm, it feels more laid-back than high-energy.

Thanks to the meticulous sound arrangement, it never gets old.

Many women might be able to handle it, but for men it’s highly challenging.

And the melody line, which incorporates hip-hop elements, is tough as well! The timing of your breaths is crucial.

In conclusion

Maybe you’re reading this because you want to sing high-key Vocaloid songs at karaoke.

When you try to hit high notes, there’s a limit to what the human voice can do.

But if you keep practicing around that limit, you might find yourself able to sing even higher songs before you know it.

Enjoy yourself without overdoing it, and have a great Vocaloid life!
