Recommended karaoke songs for male vocalists with high voices

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.
Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

In recent years, the number of male artists with high-tone voices has increased significantly.

Some naturally have high voices, while many others use techniques like mixed voice and belting to hit high notes.

This time, we’ll introduce a wide range of karaoke songs recommended for people with high voices!

Of course, they’re great for men with naturally high voices, but also for those who want to be able to sing in the higher range or practice their mixed voice.

These tracks are perfect as practice songs, too!

Why not use the songs we introduce as a reference and belt out high-tone vocals at karaoke to your heart’s content?

NAMELYUVERworld

UVERworld 『NAMELY』Short ver.

NAMELYUVERworld

This is UVERworld’s 38th single, released on June 2, 2021.

It was selected as the ending theme for the second cour of the TV Tokyo anime The Seven Deadly Sins: Dragon’s Judgement.

TAKUYA∞, UVERworld’s vocalist, has a wonderful high-tone voice, but what makes him truly outstanding is that the appeal of his singing is by no means limited to his high range.

In this song as well, his expressive singing in the so-called “plain” sections outside the chorus makes excellent use of the mid-to-low range, and the skillful switch from chest voice in those parts to head voice in the chorus lends the track a highly dramatic feel.

It may be difficult to sing if you simply have a “high voice,” but it’s a song I’d love to see all high-tenor men take on as a challenge.

Beast[Alexandros]

[Alexandros] – Beast (MV)

Beast[Alexandros]

“Beast” is [Alexandros]’s 18th single, released in November 2020.

Vocalist Yohei Kawakami’s voice contains abundant high-order overtones, and he can be considered one of the best singers for people with similarly high vocal timbres to cover for karaoke.

However, the band and the song’s direction are very powerful and strongly rock-oriented, so when you sing it, be careful not to lose that sense of power.

The forceful chorus and the expressive contrast—especially the slightly gentler delivery you can hear around the A section of the second verse—are truly remarkable! In that sense, it’s also an ideal song for high-voiced male singers to use for practice.

Philosophy[Alexandros]

[Alexandros] – Philosophy (MV)

Philosophy[Alexandros]

This is [Alexandros]’s fourth digital-only single, released in January 2020.

In this song as well, Kawakami’s piercingly clear high tones are fully on display! It’s a track where you can really enjoy his wonderfully pleasant high-register vocals.

As for Kawakami himself—though this is just my impression—he comes across more as a straightforward, no-frills singer than a technical one, so it’s an ideal piece for guys with naturally higher chest voices to try singing.

If possible, using a mix voice with a stronger chest component for the high notes in the chorus will help you achieve a cleaner, more expansive vocal sound!

Rock The World[Alexandros]

[Alexandros] – Rock The World (MV)

Rock The World[Alexandros]

This is [Alexandros]’s 20th single, released on February 16, 2022.

It was chosen as the theme song for the KADOKAWA-distributed animated film Goodbye, DonGlees!.

Yohei Kawakami, the vocalist of [Alexandros], has a wonderfully rich voice with many high-order overtones.

With that in mind, all you high-tenor guys really have to try this at karaoke! Give it a shot.

Just be sure that, especially in the high notes of the chorus, you sing powerfully without letting it become rough.

If you’re looking for a Japanese rock band that’s easy to sing for people with higher voices, how about [Alexandros]? Most of their songs sit in a higher range, so they’re easier to sing even if lower notes are hard for you.

Their track “pray” was also the theme song for the 2019 film Godzilla: King of the Monsters, so it’s very well-known for karaoke.

Become the wind[Alexandros]

[Alexandros] – Become the Wind (MV)

Becoming the Wind [Alexandros]

A song by the Japanese rock band [Alexandros], written specifically for SUBARU’s “XV” commercial.

The track showcases the band’s vocalist, Yohei Kawakami, with his soaring high tones, and the song itself features an upbeat, catchy melody with great drive.

It’s arguably a perfect karaoke choice for men who are strong in the higher register to show what they can do.

Be careful not to fall behind the rhythm in the rapid-fire lines of the A section, and rather than trying to sing the rest too delicately, it’s better to go on the offensive with a delivery that emphasizes power!

Emeraldback number

Emerald

Emeraldback number

It’s the ending theme song for TBS’s Sunday drama “Dangerous Venus,” available for streaming since October 2020.

As of the time of writing, no CD release schedule has been announced.

It’s a medium-tempo rock song with a slightly wistful melody, and Shimizu Iyori’s vocals—skillfully making extensive use of falsetto—are arranged to further highlight the song’s appeal.

The way falsetto (head voice) is used offers many points that male vocalists in bands can learn from, so be sure to pay attention to the switching and differentiation of vocal registers as you listen.
