AshesSuperfly
This is Superfly’s ninth digital download single, released in November 2023.
It was written as the theme song for the TBS television drama “Gekokujō Kyūji,” which began airing on October 15, 2023.
Shiho Ochi, the vocalist renowned for her powerful and rich voice, shines here as well—her appeal is fully on display in this track! If you sing it with the same power as she does, you’re sure to become the center of attention.
Be sure to create clear contrasts in dynamics between the different parts and phrases of the song.
It’s also very important to produce the falsetto in the chorus cleanly!
About meSuperfly
When you think of Superfly, don’t they come to mind as a representative artist for high-pitched songs? I’ve heard this cover—Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s “Boku no Koto” performed in the original key—has been getting a lot of attention.
With Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, you feel the poignancy and fragility, while with Superfly, you sense a forward-looking, straightforward strength—that’s the fun of cover songs.
In the chorus, the expansive high note up to D5 and the falsetto at G5 are incredibly satisfying to hear, so I’d love for you to master them.
“Sing with your face”: lift your facial muscles and eyebrows firmly and let your voice out without hesitation.
that bandkessoku bando
This is a digital-only single performed by the band “Kessoku Band,” which appears in the 2022 TV anime Bocchi the Rock!.
I love Kessoku Band’s rock songs too, and I often sing “Guitar to Kodoku to Aoi Wakusei,” but “Ano Band” has a fast tempo and a very distinctive rhythm—it’s really difficult! I recommend listening to the track carefully before trying to sing it.
The timing of cutting off words in the A-melody, the timing of sustained notes in the chorus, and the fact that there’s no real breathing room once the melody starts all make it tough, so rather than trying to memorize the whole song at once, I think it’s clearer to learn it bit by bit, melody by melody, to keep things organized in your head.
Also, for the high notes like D5 and C5 in the last chorus, don’t pull the sound back—project your voice forward! Aim to throw the note with a burst of energy—keep that in mind as you sing.

RE RESCUEREOL
Reol is a female singer who’s constantly dropping hit tunes and making a huge impact on Japan’s dance music scene.
She has many popular tracks, but the one I especially recommend is RE RESCUE.
The real challenge in this song is the chorus.
Near the end of the chorus, there’s a section where you repeatedly switch between chest voice and falsetto.
It’s not just about using falsetto—you also need to maintain volume and deliver a slightly shout-like tone within it, which makes the difficulty quite high.
Definitely give it a try.
That’s My BabyRIRI
RIRI is a female singer-songwriter whose musical style evokes Ariana Grande and leaves a strong impression.
Having grown up listening to R&B from a young age, she basically sings her songs in English.
Among her tracks, a particularly challenging one I recommend is “That’s My Baby.” You’ll hear frequent falsetto, R&B essentials like ad-libs and falls, and even mixed voice—advanced vocal techniques appearing throughout the song.
MHamasaki Ayumi
This is Ayumi Hamasaki’s 20th single, released in December 2000.
It was used as the CM song for Tu-Ka Cellular Tokyo/Tokai and as the theme song for the Saturday Night Drama “M: Ai Subeki Hito ga Ite,” co-produced by TV Asahi and Ameba TV.
It’s a very dramatic, medium-tempo track that fully showcases Ayumi Hamasaki’s slightly husky vocal charm.
When singing this at karaoke, the key is to apply clear dynamics to each section and phrase of the song.
If you can reproduce the dynamic contrasts throughout the track as she does, you’re sure to earn admiration from those around you! Of course, pay attention to the high notes in the chorus, but also be careful with the low-register parts like the A melody—make sure your voice doesn’t become mumbled or indistinct.
impulseNoda Megumi
Emi Noda is a female singer-songwriter who has been active since the 2000s.
Having started her career as an artist in elementary school, she has gained popularity with cohesive J-pop refined over many years.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Shoudou (Impulse).
While there aren’t many low phrases, it features many high phrases—including some quite high falsetto—making for a wide vocal range and a high level of difficulty in pitch control.
