Venus Bug / Suisei Hoshimachi (official)

Since the hit of “Bibidebaba,” Suisei Hoshimachi has been consistently dropping hit tunes.

One of her signature charms is the seamless switching between head voice (falsetto) and chest voice, and her new song “Venus Bug” showcases that appeal throughout.

While the falsetto itself isn’t extremely high, it appears so frequently that the song boasts a high level of difficulty.

Low falsetto in particular is prone to issues with pitch control and volume, so if you can sing this piece with ease, you’ll almost certainly have mastered low-register falsetto.

Suisei Hoshimachi, the VTuber currently attracting the most attention, is a member of hololive and has gained nationwide popularity as an artist.

While many of her songs span a wide vocal range with touches of falsetto, that’s not the case with Kireigoto.

In this piece, aside from a single falsetto moment that appears once in the chorus, there are no high parts, and the song is arranged in a low register throughout.

Even the falsetto line is something she could sing in chest voice but chooses to render in falsetto, making it easy to sing for women with lower voices.

I am a cat’s eye.Shiina Ringo

Shiina Ringo – I Am a Cat’s Eye

This is Ringo Sheena’s 17th single, released in May 2023.

It was apparently produced as a commemorative work for the 25th anniversary of her debut.

Many of Sheena’s songs are known for their intriguingly complex melodic progressions and rhythmic phrasing, and this track is no exception—it’s filled with a highly distinctive and memorable melody.

Precisely because of that, if you can nail it at karaoke and reproduce it accurately, you’re sure to be the center of attention! Be sure to study the song and lyrics thoroughly before giving it a try.

If you sing with the sensation of placing your voice against your upper palate, you’ll likely achieve a vocal tone rich in higher overtones, similar to hers—definitely give that a try as well!

Pink BlueRyokushokushakai

Ryokuoushoku Shakai “Pink Blue” Official Video / Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Pink Blue

This song is included on Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s fourth studio album, Pink Blue, which was released in May 2023.

The track we’re introducing here, Pink Blue, serves as the album’s title track, and its music video was released ahead of the album.

When singing this song at karaoke, the key points are not only how precisely you can trace the vocal melody, which moves intensely and intricately up and down, but also whether you can deliver with a powerful, resonant tone across both high and low ranges.

Combined with the slightly up-tempo feel, it’s quite a challenging song to sing; however, for those confident in their vocals, it’s one you should definitely try.

Efficiently converting breath into voice is crucial, so study that aspect as well—and be sure to practice carefully so you don’t strain your throat.
