Miwa Yoshida (DREAMS COME TRUE)
DREAMS COME TRUE, known as “DoriCam” (DoriKamu) in Japan, is one of the country’s most iconic artists.
Their vocalist, Miwa Yoshida, can only be described as incredible—her powerful highs and lows and her soaring, resonant voice are outstanding.
She’s also a staple choice for musical impersonations.
Noriyuki Makihara
For impersonating Noriyuki Makihara, who sings with beautiful high notes and carefully delivers each lyric, the key points are vowel-emphasized vocalization over consonants, the use of crescendos, and opening the mouth wide and clearly.
If you break down the characteristics of the artist you want to imitate into key points and analyze them, you’ll likely achieve a closer impersonation.
JUJU
Imitating JUJU is a bit challenging and hinges largely on vocal ability.
The trick is not to mimic JUJU herself, but rather to imitate Miracle Hikaru doing her JUJU impression.
The way she handles dynamics and adds accents with vibrato makes Miracle Hikaru’s impression a perfect model to follow.
If you’re not fully confident in your singing, lean into the comedy angle to liven up the performance!
YUI
An impression of YUI, whose charmingly cute singing voice is captivating.
Many of YUI’s songs are well-known, and for people in their 20s and 30s in particular, they’re classics that link to memories of their youth.
Wouldn’t this be perfect to perform at parties with many in the same age group or at gatherings with more women?
Kobukuro
Kobukuro, the popular male duo whose exquisite harmonies captivate listeners and won’t let go.
They’re artists with outstanding vocal ability, so naturally the same is expected of anyone who tries to imitate them.
It’s definitely worth the challenge.

Akira Fuse

Still, tutorial videos that teach impersonations are really easy to understand, aren’t they? Watching them over and over while practicing makes you feel like you could pull it off.
