One of my students once practiced “Stellar Stellar,” but this time, “Mou Dounatte mo Ii ya” has a completely different vibe—it’s a cool-style anime song.
Listening through the whole track, it has an overall sense of speed with lots of fast lyrics, so keeping the rhythm is very important.
Since it’s such a fast song and the pitch goes up to D5, the key is to avoid straining your voice.
It might help to sing with a relaxed approach, using a strong head voice.

Rising HopeLiSA
Speaking of LiSA, it’s all about anisongs! She also has an image of singing mostly high-pitched songs, right? Among them, “Rising Hope” is probably one that many people feel is “so fast and so high… great to listen to, but tough to sing!” My students struggled with it, too.
Of course the high notes are challenging, but the tempo is also very fast at 190.
On top of that, there are lots of rap-like and intricate parts, so you want to make sure you don’t get left behind while singing.
Also, for the ends of phrases in the chorus, if you slightly lengthen them and articulate the vowels clearly, it adds to the vibe and sounds cool! There are lots of high notes in succession, but try to keep the sound resonating in your head so the pitch doesn’t drop.
frecklesJUDY AND MARY
They were a rock band formed in 1992 that sadly disbanded in 2001.
People from younger generations might not be very familiar with them, but among those around their forties, almost everyone knows them.
Most of their songs were composed by YUKI, and many of their tracks evoke a sense of wistfulness and girlish charm.
They performed at the Kōhaku Uta Gassen twice and won numerous awards—a legendary rock band.

This is a track that vividly portrays the light and shadow of the perfect idol through striking sound.
It was created by YOASOBI, a music duo whose members are active in various fields.
The song was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Oshi no Ko and is based on a novel specially written by the original creator, Aka Akasaka.
Since its release in April 2023, it has become a global hit.
Praise from fans, jealousy from peers, and the lies and loneliness the protagonist carries—its rapidly shifting perspectives and musical styles bring the character’s complex inner world into sharp relief.
The expressive power that hints at madness beneath the cute vocals is captivating all on its own.
It’s a highly addictive pop tune that seems to touch the very core of the story.
