I believe everyone has their own favorite kind of music.
And there are probably quite a few people who think “high-pitched vocals are great.”

I’ve picked out high-pitched tracks for both male and female singers.
Genre-wise, the playlist ranges widely—from powerful tunes to stylish works.

[Challenge] Compilation of Anime Songs with High-Pitched Melodies and High-Tone Voices (21–30)
BreezeMegumi Hayashibara
A song by singer Megumi Hayashibara, who played key roles in numerous works during the third voice actor boom and is known as one of the legendary voice actors.
It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Slayers TRY and was released as the B-side to her 15th single, ‘don’t be discouraged,’ which served as the ending theme.
The melody itself is simple, but the overall key is high, and there’s a section in the chorus where the pitch suddenly leaps, so caution is necessary.
Also, because the beat is fine and fast relative to the melody, try to stay calm and sing without getting thrown off.
vestige - VestigeT.M.Revolution
The 21st single by T.
M.
Revolution, the solo project of singer Takanori Nishikawa, renowned for his overwhelming vocal power and singing ability.
Known as a theme song for the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY, the song’s ethereal opening—featuring a lyrical guitar riff and transparent synth sounds—heightens the sense of anticipation.
In addition to its high key, achieving the original feel requires considerable practice, including a rich vocal tone and powerful vibrato.
On the other hand, the melody is catchy and easy to remember, and the vocal range used isn’t excessively wide, so it’s a good idea to start practicing in a key that suits your voice.
Watch me!YOASOBI
It’s a poppy, cute song that’s very YOASOBI.
It features a bouncy rhythm and a Vocaloid-like melody, so it might be a bit tricky to sing, but it’s the kind of fun track that makes your body move on its own when you listen.
In the chorus, there are several high notes typical of ikura, too.
The highest note here is F5, which is quite high, but it’s amazing how her voice doesn’t sound strained.
The title “Watch me!” means “Look at me!” so it’s heartwarming to imagine singing it cutely to someone you like.
It’s a song that makes you want to go all-in on cuteness when you sing!
Stand on the stageYOASOBI
Surprisingly, this song modulates near the end, but instead of going higher, it drops by a semitone first and then immediately rises again.
It really feels like the meaning of the title, “Standing on Stage,” is packed into this one track! Ikura’s vocals resonate with real strength in the high notes without her having to belt.
Carrying the voice with breath rather than shouting makes the sound come out naturally and leads to that clear, transparent tone! Many of my students sing YOASOBI’s songs, so I hope all of you will give them a try, too!
Walking with youNovelbright
It’s a pretty difficult song that jumps straight into the chorus from the very beginning without any intro.
It’s up-tempo and very band-like, so it looks cool if you can sing it! The overall vocal range is G3–E5, and the melody moves up and down a lot.
The vibe of the A and B sections in verse 1 and verse 2 changes a bit, too.
There’s a lot to memorize, right? (lol) Even if you can get through the first verse smoothly, many people stumble on the second! My students also started by memorizing the English at the beginning of the second verse! Also, when there are lots of words, try keeping the rhythm with your hands while you sing.
There are almost no breaks in this song, so it’s pretty tough, but if you tackle it one melodic section at a time, you’ll definitely be able to sing it! You’ve got this!
KusushikiMrs. GREEN APPLE
An ambitious work that paints a mystical, mysterious worldview.
Released in April 2025 as a song by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, it was chosen as the opening theme for the second cour of season 2 of the Nippon TV anime “The Apothecary Diaries.” The track blends an oriental atmosphere with band-driven sound, resulting in a compelling piece whose rapid, ever-shifting development leaves a strong impression.
The theme of the song is “a love that remains unchanged beyond this life and into the next.” Its lyrics, which depict the wonder of will imbued in words and the complexity of human emotions, align beautifully with the anime’s world.
Rising HopeLiSA
Speaking of LiSA, it’s all about anisongs! She also has an image of singing mostly high-pitched songs, right? Among them, “Rising Hope” is probably one that many people feel is “so fast and so high… great to listen to, but tough to sing!” My students struggled with it, too.
Of course the high notes are challenging, but the tempo is also very fast at 190.
On top of that, there are lots of rap-like and intricate parts, so you want to make sure you don’t get left behind while singing.
Also, for the ends of phrases in the chorus, if you slightly lengthen them and articulate the vowels clearly, it adds to the vibe and sounds cool! There are lots of high notes in succession, but try to keep the sound resonating in your head so the pitch doesn’t drop.
