You’re the Only…Ono Masatoshi

GALNERYUS – YOU’RE THE ONLY 2010 ［OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO］

Masatoshi Ono’s third single, released on August 1, 1992.

I WiSH “Door to Tomorrow” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

Released in 2003, this song became a big hit as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Ainori.” Its overall vocal range is A#3 to D5, and the chorus goes a bit higher, but the melody is very simple, making it easy to keep pitch and the lyrics are straightforward and easy to convey.

It’s often recommended even for karaoke beginners or those who struggle with pitch.

The lyrics are relatively dense and it’s sung almost continuously, so taking breaths at each phrase will help you avoid running out of breath and make it easier to sing.

While listening to the song, it might help to visualize, “I’ll breathe here.” The basic image is to sing lightly while staying relaxed.

Once you can hum lightly, try resonating in the same place and turn it into your singing voice.

If your throat stays comfortable the whole time, you’re good!
