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?

M87Kenshi Yonezu

Kenshi Yonezu – M87

M87 Kenshi Yonezu

This is Kenshi Yonezu’s 12th CD single, released on May 18, 2022.

It was written as the theme song for the film Shin Ultraman, which premiered on May 13.

At first listen, it doesn’t even sound like an Ultraman theme—it’s been crafted into a stylish track.

Yonezu’s vocals here are exceptionally captivating, ranging from a bright, powerful high chest voice to a gentle falsetto, showcasing a wide variety of tones to express the song.

I think it’s a piece that’s quite difficult to sing well if you’re only good at high notes or simply have a high voice, but I encourage you to give it a try.

Mastering this song will surely reward you in a big way!

Pale BlueKenshi Yonezu

Kenshi Yonezu – Pale Blue / Kenshi Yonezu

Pale Blue Kenshi Yonezu

Kenshi Yonezu’s 11th single, released on June 16, 2021.

It was chosen as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “Rikokatsu.” Yonezu’s gentle high-tone voice is already well-regarded, and this song showcases that signature vocal quality once again! From the very beginning, he delivers impressive high notes using a mix voice to falsetto.

The melody itself is somewhat complex, so singing this at karaoke will require a fair amount of vocal skill and expressive control.

Precisely because of that, it’s worth a challenge for all the high-tenor guys out there.

Don’t be thrown by the rapidly changing melodic developments—aim to sing the high parts with the appropriate vocal production for each section!

CampanellaKenshi Yonezu

Kenshi Yonezu – Campanella

Campanella Kenshi Yonezu

The opening track of Kenshi Yonezu’s fifth album, STRAY SHEEP, released in August 2020.

It’s a song that lets you enjoy his wonderful use of falsetto and mixed voice throughout.

While his natural voice doesn’t particularly emphasize high tones on its own, his singing—skillfully switching between chest voice and falsetto—is outstanding.

Another highlight is the ending, where you can hear high notes delivered in chest voice without falsetto.

I was looking at the moon.Kenshi Yonezu

Kenshi Yonezu “Tsuki o Miteita” – Moongazing (Turkish Translation + Lyrics + Romaji)

Kenshi Yonezu, who was looking at the moon.

This is Kenshi Yonezu’s fifth digital-only single, released in June 2023.

It was created as the theme song for the game FINAL FANTASY XVI, published by Square Enix.

Within this lyrical ballad, Yonezu’s resonant, ringing vocals can be enjoyed to the fullest.

I’d love for male singers with higher ranges to take on its soaring high notes.

That said, faithfully capturing the mood of the original requires very delicate expressive control, so simply having a high voice may not be enough—the bar to perform it well can be quite high.

It’s a song I recommend tackling only after thoroughly studying the original, understanding how to shape dynamics and pacing, and then giving it a try.

Ghost of the SeaKenshi Yonezu

Kenshi Yonezu – Spirits of the Sea

Spirits of the Sea by Kenshi Yonezu

It was produced as the theme song for the feature-length animated film Children of the Sea, based on the original work by Daisuke Igarashi and produced by STUDIO4°C.

It was released digitally in June 2019, and then released on CD in September of the same year as his 10th single.

Now, as for Kenshi Yonezu, who sings this song, his range—especially toward the higher register—is remarkable, but his actual vocal timbre isn’t that high, so it might be a bit challenging for singers who simply have a naturally high chest voice.

However, you don’t need piercing high notes in a chesty head voice like a metal singer would.

If you can skillfully and appropriately switch between falsetto and mixed (middle) voice, you should be able to sing it nicely.

Listen closely to the original track, study which vocal qualities are used where, and then give it a try!

Beautiful creatureMasaki Suda

Masaki Suda “Beautiful Creature”

Masaki Suda, a beautiful being

Masaki Suda’s fourth digital-only single, released in February 2023.

As the title suggests, it’s crafted so that his gentle, soft vocals resonate beautifully over a gorgeously arranged backing track.

It’s a great choice for men with clear, high voices to pick for karaoke.

To sing it well, mastering the so-called mixed voice will be key, so it might help to study that beforehand.

Be careful to keep your tone from getting harsh throughout.

Try singing while exhaling slowly and carefully; you should be able to recreate a pleasing vocal quality.

Give it a try.

Fujii Kaze – grace（Official Video）

Grace Fujii Kaze

It was Fujii Kaze’s 12th digital-only single, released in October 2022.

The song was reportedly written specifically for the “KAZE FILMS docomo future project,” a collaborative project with NTT Docomo that began on March 23, 2022.

With a mechanically pulsing four-on-the-floor kick drum and an arrangement and melody that seem to freely roam through space above it, the track achieves a uniquely captivating sound world.

I feel that Fujii Kaze’s vocals—radiating a slightly boyish charm—are indispensable to expressing this atmosphere.

For male singers with higher voices, I’d love to see you recreate this world to the fullest at karaoke.

Be mindful of the contrast between sections you sing in a relaxed, floating manner and those you deliver with power, and try performing with that dynamic in mind!
