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?

Monochrome KissSid

SID “Monochrome Kiss” (lyrics) – Black Butler OP

Monochrome KISSID

This is the Japanese rock band SID’s 12th major release overall—and their first single as a major-label work—released on October 29, 2008.

It was used as the opening theme for the TBS anime Black Butler.

It’s a cool track distinguished by its very fluid acoustic guitar strumming in the intro and elsewhere.

As for Mao, SID’s vocalist, many listeners might not immediately think of him as a high-tone singer at first listen, but if you try singing it yourself, you’ll notice—especially in the chorus—how he employs a variety of high-tone vocals to express the song.

When you sing the high-register parts, be careful not to let your high notes become thin or overly bright.

Sukima Switch – “Kanade” Music Video : SUKIMASWITCH / KANADE Music Video

Kanade Sukima Switch

This is Sukima Switch’s second single, released in March 2004.

While Sukima Switch’s vocals are on the higher side, they’re not the kind of high notes that are belted passionately; the appeal lies in a relaxed, slightly nasal tone.

The song doesn’t use a particularly wide vocal range either, so I think it’s a good recommendation for karaoke not only for men with high voices, but for most men in general.

It tends to sound best when sung naturally without getting too technical.

That said, in the original, the highest notes are sung in chest voice rather than relying much on falsetto, so if the key feels tough, try lowering it a bit.

Spitz / Tokimeki Part 1

Tokimeki Part 1 Spitz

A track from Spitz’s 17th studio album, Himitsu Studio, released in May 2023.

Spitz’s vocalist Masamune Kusano has long been acclaimed since the band’s debut for his singing voice, which contains very appealing higher-order overtones.

Even now, roughly 30 years after their major-label debut, his voice hasn’t diminished in the slightest—if anything, with age he has gained deeper expressive power and a sense of maturity.

When you sing it at karaoke, try to convey the original song’s refreshing gentleness.

Spitz / Favorite Things

Favorite Spitz

This is Spitz’s 45th single, released on November 3, 2021.

It was chosen as the theme song for the film What Did You Eat Yesterday? The Movie, which premiered on the same day as the single’s release.

The track features a refreshingly Spitz-like vocal melody and arrangement, and its tempo makes it quite easy to sing.

Also, Masamune Kusano’s vocals contain a rich amount of high overtones, making this an ideal choice at karaoke for men with naturally higher chest voices.

That said, the vocal melody spans a relatively wide range, so simply having a high voice might not be enough—it could still be challenging.

Try to keep your abs engaged and lift your ribcage, and be careful not to constrict your throat on the high notes.

Spitz / Beyond the Purple Night

Spitz Across the Purple Night

Released as the 44th single by the Japanese rock band Spitz, this track came out as a digital-only release in March 2021.

It also commemorates the 30th anniversary of Spitz’s major-label debut.

Staying at the forefront of the fast-moving J-pop scene for 30 years is impressive in itself! As for the song itself, it features a quintessentially Spitz pop sensibility, with an accessible melody and a mid-tempo groove that’s easy to get into and sing along to.

Thanks in part to vocalist Masamune Kusano’s timbre, it’s an ideal pick for karaoke—especially for male singers who are comfortable with higher ranges.

That said, if your voice tends to weaken in the chorus, it can undercut the impact of the song, so if you think the high notes might be tough, adjust the key to suit your range.

Overall, delivering it with energetic power is the key to making it sound great.

Beautiful finSpitz

Spitz / Beautiful Fin

Beautiful fin Spitz

This is Spitz’s 46th single, released in April 2023.

It was written as the theme song for the film Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine.

With its bright, mid-tempo feel, just listening to it somehow puts you in a warm, relaxed mood.

Masamune Kusano, Spitz’s vocalist, is renowned for his clear, high-toned voice, and that appeal is on full display in this track.

It’s a song I highly recommend for men with higher ranges to try! Practice making smooth transitions into falsetto where it appears—especially around the chorus and other key parts.

Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE / “R.Y.U.S.E.I.” Music Video

R.Y.U.S.E.I. Sandaime J Soul Brothers from EXILE TRIBE

This is the 13th single by Sandaime J Soul Brothers from EXILE TRIBE, released in June 2014.

As you’d expect from a group that’s a standard-bearer for male R&B, it’s quite a challenging song—not just about belting high notes in chest voice, but requiring skillful shifts between mixed voice and falsetto.

Even near the highest notes, it’s important to switch smoothly from chest voice to falsetto so the sound doesn’t become harsh.

Be careful that your voice doesn’t get stuck or crack at the switching points, and that those transitions don’t sound unnatural.

If you want to master it, taking some vocal training lessons might help.

Give it your best and keep practicing!
