An amusing love song. A fun love song.

Koi-bi and ROMANCEGMU

GMU 15th single “Koibi to ROMANCE”

This is the 15th single by GMU, the idol group serving as sightseeing ambassadors for Aomori City.

The song incorporates elements of Baroque music and has a somewhat nostalgic feel.

I think it’s a track that can be performed solo and still sound cool and exciting! Listening from the A melody, it gives the impression of having quite a lot of low notes.

High notes can be easier to hit when you project your voice with energy, but low notes are the opposite: if you use plenty of breath and release your voice slowly, as if right in front of you, it becomes easier to stay on pitch.

There are many tips for this, but the most important is to let a “bundle” of breath out slowly in front of you.

I used to struggle with low notes myself, but as I studied vocal training and experimented, this method made it much easier for me to sing low notes.

Since we don’t often use low voices in daily life, it’s natural not to be accustomed to them.

When you sing, try to keep these tips in mind!
