Challenging Songs by Official HIGE DANDism | A Curated Selection of High-Difficulty Tracks!
Official HIGE DANDism—better known as “Higedan”—is famous for songs that are extremely difficult to sing.
If you actually try to perform or sing them, you might find yourself thinking, “How does Fujiwara sing so effortlessly?!” and be surprised by how challenging they are.
Not only the vocals, but the guitar, piano, drums, and bass parts in Higedan’s masterpieces all demand a high level of skill.
In this article, we’ll shine a spotlight on the songs that are especially hard to sing, explaining why they’re so difficult and sharing key tips for performing them.
Official HIGE DANDism’s Difficult Songs | A Curated Selection of High-Difficulty Tracks (1–10)
Lost In My RoomOfficial HIGE DANDism
A piece renowned as one of Official HIGE DANDism’s most difficult songs, “Lost In My Room.” The toughest part is undoubtedly the chorus.
There’s falsetto in the A section as well, but the chorus falsetto is breathtaking, featuring some very high notes.
On top of that, the overall vocal range is quite wide, from mid1 F# to hi G#, so there isn’t much room to lower the key.
Rather than simply dropping the key to make it easier, it’s important to consider the ease of producing the falsetto and, at times, even raise the key.
This varies depending on the singer’s vocal range, so there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but instead of avoiding high notes, approach the song by identifying the key in which even the high notes are easiest to sing.

This is the song chosen as the theme for the feature-length anime “Hyaku-emu,” and it’s a quintessentially Hige-dan style challenge.
The rhythm is relatively steady, but there are lots of words, making the breathing difficult, and the range is extremely wide.
In the C section and the chorus, many people will probably think, “It goes up here?!” Once you start singing there’s almost no downtime, with melodies coming one after another, so you’ll need serious resolve (lol).
First, make sure you thoroughly memorize the lyrics and melody! The A section seems like it can be sung fairly gently, but from the B section you’ll have trouble unless you plan your breaths.
Don’t sing everything at 100%; sing with the image of releasing your voice bit by bit, then let it all out on the high notes for good balance! Be sure not to miss even the briefest moments where you can catch a breath.

A digital-only single released in December 2023, marking Official HIGE DANDism’s 14th overall release.
It was written as the theme song for the anime film SPY x FAMILY CODE: White.
If you can reproduce the clear, powerful high notes and sense of speed in karaoke, you’re sure to earn praise from everyone around you! If you’re confident in your soaring high register, give it a try.
Aim your voice toward the upper palate inside your mouth as you sing—this makes it easier to recreate a tone rich in pleasing high overtones, so be sure to try it!

This is a digital-only track by Official HIGE DANDism, released on April 15, 2022.
It was written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime SPY×FAMILY.
Satoshi Fujihara, who handles vocals, is well known for his exceptional singing ability; however, the biggest hurdle for most people singing this song is how to deliver the 16-beat-based rhythm without sounding flat.
If the groove of the vocal feels sticky or heavy, it will ruin the vibe of the song no matter how cleanly you hit the high notes.
Try singing with careful attention to the rhythm and how you feel the beat.
Same BlueOfficial HIGE DANDism
Official HIGE DANDism is a band known for their catchy sound that blends J-POP with elements of Western music.
Their track “Same Blue,” one of their many constant hits, would be classified as a high-difficulty song.
The tricky part is, without a doubt, the end of the chorus.
It features very high falsetto lines that appear repeatedly, and because the pitch moves up and down so sharply in this section, it demands substantial pitch control.
Give it a try!
Cry BabyOfficial HIGE DANDism
This is a digital distribution–only single by Official HIGE DANDism, released in May 2021.
It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Tokyo Revengers.
The difficulty level is quite high; the song modulates multiple times, and the arrangement shifts dynamically to match.
Vocalist Satoshi Fujihara’s delivery—especially his remarkably resonant and powerful high tones—is truly outstanding.
Reproducing this in karaoke would require considerable vocal skill.
Precisely for that reason, if you can pull it off, you’re sure to feel an exceptional sense of accomplishment!
UniverseOfficial HIGE DANDism
Official HIGE DANDism’s fifth single, released in February 2021.
Even if transposing the key can solve the issue of vocal range, many people may still struggle to reproduce the groove that emphasizes the 16-beat feel.
If you sing in a flat, laid-back manner, the melody’s inherent simplicity and accessibility can actually make the song end up sounding rather dull.
So when you sing it, pay close attention to the sense of beat and rhythm.
