Beautiful high notes that feel so good! Classic Western songs where you can fully enjoy high-tone vocals.

One of the charms of Western music is songs that feature high-tone vocals—something that’s hard for many Japanese singers to replicate.

From powerful belts to beautiful falsettos, even if you don’t understand the English lyrics, there’s a persuasiveness and energy that draws you into their world.

So this time, I’ve selected tracks that spotlight high-tone vocals.

The picks span a wide range of eras, so if you come across artists or songs you don’t know, be sure to check them out.
