Kotodama of Love ~ Spiritual MessageSazan Ōrusutāzu

Southern All Stars’ classic song “Kotodama of Love ~Spiritual Message~.” Many people have probably heard it often at karaoke but didn’t know the title.

Among Southern All Stars’ songs, this one boasts one of the narrowest vocal ranges.

The vocal line is gentle with little ups and downs, so be sure to give it a try.
