Runiri
iri is a female singer-songwriter who energizes Japan’s R&B scene with her low-toned vocals and stylish musicality.
She hasn’t been very active in the public eye lately, but she’s continued to release tracks that have earned high praise from hardcore R&B aficionados.
Among her songs, one I especially recommend is “Run.” It blends neo-soul and house, peppered with ad-libs throughout.
It also demands a solid sense of groove, making it a true “Japanese-killer” track—one that’s sure to captivate listeners in Japan.
Feverish Demonzutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
The vocal range is A#3 to E5, so it’s a generally high-pitched song, but if you sing gently with a falsetto-like tone, it should be easier to hit the notes and you might be able to aim for a perfect score! If you rely only on falsetto, you might get wobbly and tired, so make sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing and keeping your core stable so your voice doesn’t waver.
The rap-like part before the chorus might not even have a pitch bar, but it’s a cool section, so enjoy it and ride the rhythm as you sing! Since the tempo is fast, don’t forget to take breaths, and give your falsetto your best shot!
If you call it loveUru
Uru’s singing voice is known for its great delicacy and airy whisper tone.
This singing style is difficult for those who aren’t used to it; if you try to imitate it right away, you may run out of breath, your voice may become unstable, or you might even feel lightheaded, so a solid foundation in diaphragmatic breathing is essential! Also, instead of singing the A and B sections loudly, try delivering them as if you’re speaking to someone—you’ll evoke a vibe closer to Uru’s.
It’s fun when you can sing quietly without your voice getting hoarse, and it also broadens the range of songs you can perform!
filamentUru
This song, which features a piano accompaniment, matches beautifully with Uru’s heartrending vocals.
From the second verse, the band comes in, changing the atmosphere and intensifying the emotions, giving a heart-stirring impression.
Even though it’s the same chorus, the number of instruments in the backing changes between the first and second verses, so the level of excitement is completely different! The key point when singing this part is dynamics.
Try holding back your emotions in the first verse and then fully releasing them in the second, singing freely and comfortably in your sweet spot.
Uru also switches between head voice and chest voice, so be sure to listen closely for that!
PLAYERSYOASOBI
This song was created to celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, with a theme centered around gaming.
Listening to it, you can really feel that distinctive YOASOBI style.
The chorus sits around E5, so the range is quite high, but there are constant call-and-response shouts in the backing vocals, which makes it nice because you can catch your breath while singing! That chorus is super cute and makes you want to dance, so it seems like it would hype up a live show too! When you sing it, enunciate clearly so the phrases don’t blur together—doing so will make it easier to hear and easier to sing.
Pay attention to your diction!
I miss you so much and want to see you.Nishino Kana
It’s a song that became a massive hit thanks to the strong resonance it found with women, and I think this is the track most people associate with Kana Nishino.
Her charm lies in her overall gentle vocals; she doesn’t belt the high notes but sings them in mixed voice, which lets the message of the lyrics flow in naturally and makes it very pleasant to listen to.
This song conveys the real feelings of a girl in love—maximum heartbreak—and it’s the kind of track that might bring you to tears.
It’s one you’ll want to sing with all your might when you want to pour your feelings out to the person you like.

ifNishino Kana
“If” has a melody that conveys a poignant feeling right from the intro—it’s such a beautiful song.
It’s the piece my student practiced the most, and it holds special memories because they said, “I want to sing with a beautiful voice like Kana-yan’s!” and overcame their struggle with falsetto.
The highest note in this song is D#5, which is of course high, but I think the improvised falsetto lines at the beginning and end can be tough if you’re not used to them, since they’re sung with various articulations.
Those ad-lib sections sound so beautiful, so it’s worth nailing them.
With themes like “fateful encounters” and “hopes for the future,” I’d love for you to sing it to someone important to you.
