Watch me!YOASOBI

Watch me!YOASOBI

It’s such a lively, cheerful song, and ikura’s voice is super cute! It’s fun to listen to, but with a range of G3 to F5, it’s really tough to sing.

While some parts have very clear, easy-to-follow rhythm, there are also Vocaloid-like melodic lines that are very YOASOBI.

Especially in the A verse and the chorus, since they sit high, you’ll want to make the attack on the opening words crisp and clear.

To keep your voice steady, try engaging your glutes as you sing.

The B verse has fast melodies, so I recommend memorizing the lyrics before singing.

It’s an adorable song, so don’t go expressionless—keep your facial muscles lifted the whole time! And sing with a smile to keep your pitch from dropping.
