Kiyoshiro Imawano - In the Night Sky After the Rain

Speaking of Kiyoshiro Imawano, his musical style is striking for evoking nostalgic scenes within a punky vibe.

Among his works, “Ameagari no Yozora ni” especially showcases his musical character.

While the highest notes aren’t very high, the pitch mid2F# appears frequently, so when adjusting the key, it’s best to center your tuning around that note.

The lyrics are a bit risqué, but it’s a song that tends to get the crowd going at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

BambinaHotei Tomoyasu

Tomoyasu Hotei / HOTEI – Bambina

Tomoyasu Hotei’s classic “Bambina.” Thanks to its performance on the popular YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE, the song has recently gained support from a fairly young audience as well.

While it’s an up-tempo track with a rock ’n’ roll feel, the vocal range is quite narrow, so it’s easy for singers of any voice type to handle.

If there’s one potential challenge, it would be the long sustained note at the end of the chorus.

It features the highest phrase in the song, but even then it doesn’t require a mixed voice.

As long as you focus on staying in tune, it’s a song with solid potential for scoring high marks.
