When it comes to high-tone voices, many people these days probably think of imase.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is Soyokaze.
It’s a new release from imase, featuring his signature airy, gentle falsetto tone throughout.
Singing falsetto with this kind of timbre is surprisingly difficult, but the ease with which he delivers it really showcases his impressive vocal ability.

Mutual loveOfficial HIGE DANDism
The classic “Sōshi Sōai” is a masterpiece that sings of a pitiful man’s heart.
Unlike many of Official HIGE DANDism’s recent unconventional tracks, this song is crafted as orthodox J-pop.
The elements of Black music—one of their trademarks—are also subtle here, and the vocal line throughout is organized to be very easy to sing.
However, since it sits overall in a higher register, a certain level of vocal height is required.
Fortunately, the range isn’t excessively wide, so as long as you determine the suitable key, it’s a piece that most people can take on.
