Official HIGE DANDism’s Difficult Songs | A Curated Selection of High-Difficulty Tracks (1–10)
SubtitleOfficial HIGE DANDism
“Subtitle” is a digital single released by Official HIGE DANDism in 2022.
It was written as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “silent” and has dominated various charts such as Oricon and Billboard.
The chorus showcases Satoshi Fujihara’s captivating high tones, but it’s quite challenging to sing and requires mastering mixed voice.
In the B melody, there’s a part delivered in a steady, rap-like manner; to perform it well, you need clear diction and an understanding of where to place rests.
It’s a high-difficulty song, but definitely worth the challenge!
TATOOOfficial HIGE DANDism
This is Official HIGE DANDism’s 10th digital-only single, released in April 2023.
It was written as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “Pending Train: 8:23, Ashita Kimi to.” What’s crucial for this song is whether you can recreate vocalist Satoshi Fujihara’s taut, soaring high-tone voice.
Try singing while being careful not to strain your throat as much as possible.
If you aim your voice toward the upper palate, you’re more likely to achieve a sparkling tone rich in higher overtones, similar to his.
Also, be mindful not to let the lightly bouncing rhythm become flat.
apoptosisOfficial HIGE DANDism
A song by Official HIGE DANDism, it was released as the lead track of Editorial on August 18, 2021.
It’s a very beautiful piece with a flowing melody.
The most important thing to keep in mind when singing this song is to sing gently so that your voice never becomes piercing, even in the high parts.
That said, even though you should “sing gently,” the choruses and other sections demand a gentle yet powerful delivery, which, I feel, contributes to the song’s difficulty level.
Focus on vocal expression, study and understand the original thoroughly, and then give it a try.

FateOfficial HIGE DANDism
The third single by Official HIGE DANDism, released in July 2019.
It’s a song where the soaring, transparent high tones—so characteristic of Mr.
Fujiwara—are absolutely crucial, to the point that you could say it was made to maximize his appeal.
Another distinctive point is the effective use of mixed voice, even in the flatter melodic sections like the A verse, despite the overall high range.
Choosing this song at karaoke is definitely for advanced singers, but do your best to aim for smooth, expansive high notes.
PretenderOfficial HIGE DANDism
Released in May 2019, this is Official Hige Dandism’s second single.
It’s a song where you can fully enjoy high-tone vocals expertly executed with mixed voice.
In short, mixed voice is a blend of falsetto and chest voice.
By controlling how you constrict your throat and how much breathiness accompanies it, you adjust the proportion of chest and falsetto components as you sing.
It’s essential for performing modern songs, but it’s also a technique that can be quite difficult to master.
Start by finding a comfortable key for your voice and give it a try.
I LOVE…Official HIGE DANDism
A single released in February 2020, written as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “Love Lasts Forever” (Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo).
Vocalist Satoshi Fujiwara, renowned for his powerful singing, delivers an exceptional performance here as well, skillfully shifting between hard and soft high tones.
To recreate this versatile vocal expression, you’ll likely need to master chest voice, mixed voice, and falsetto, along with the technique to connect them smoothly.
It’s a song I highly recommend for confident singers to take on.
AnarchyOfficial HIGE DANDism
A digital single by Official HIGE DANDism released in January 2022.
The first major challenge when singing it is the lightly bouncing beat that many Japanese singers struggle with.
Keep the snare drum accents firmly in mind and make sure your groove doesn’t become flat.
After the second chorus, the D section features a vocal melody with a wide range, so smooth switching between registers is essential.
Also take care that your voice doesn’t become weak in the falsetto parts.
