Biting the second handzutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
ZUTOMAYO is an artist shrouded in many mysteries, from their lineup to how members are invited.
The only thing that has been revealed is that the vocalist is a person named ACA-ne.
And ACA-ne’s singing voice is ZUTOMAYO’s greatest appeal.
In this song as well, her straightforward, powerful vocals are captivating, but what I’d also love you to focus on is how brilliantly the piano is featured, while the guitar, bass, and drums are all irresistibly groovy and cool.
If you’re looking for a breezy, upbeat track, definitely give it a listen.
Blue Springback number
The seventh single, and their first self-produced work.
It was released in 2012.
While the melody exudes the fleeting quality characteristic of back number, the lift in the chorus gives it a surge of momentum that really elevates your mood! It makes you want to listen while dancing, just like the lyrics suggest.
It’s a song you’ll long for as the seasons change.
dance hallMrs. GREEN APPLE
A pop dance number by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
It became a hot topic thanks to its flashy music video where the members themselves show off their dance moves! The overall vocal range is A3 to F#5, and aside from the very last high note in the chorus, it’s a range most male singers can handle.
If you consciously keep your energy high, your facial muscles and eyebrows will naturally lift, making it easier to project your voice! The rhythm is distinctive—if you feel it with a bouncy swing or count it in double-time, you’ll likely find it easier to groove and sing along.
For the high notes at the end of the melody, don’t be afraid—charge in with momentum! Aim to let it all out and project your voice confidently!
Howling DiverBLUE ENCOUNT
An emotional guitar-rock track that gives you the courage to face any challenge.
It’s a song by the four-piece rock band BLUE ENCOUNT, included on their 2019 mini-album “SICK(S).” The lyrics may especially resonate with junior high and high school students.
If you’re struggling right now or unsure about your path, please give it a listen.
GOBUMP OF CHICKEN
It’s an exhilarating, pleasant track that was also used as the theme song for the TV anime “GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation.” With its grand and refreshing atmosphere—a hallmark of their appeal—it leaves a strong impression and shares common ground with a work set in the skies.
