The Departure of LoveOfisharu Higedan Dism

This is a heartbreak ballad included on the album “MAN IN THE MIRROR.” The overall vocal range spans E3 to F5, and although the higher notes appear more in the latter half and may feel high, the clear, band-driven drum sound makes it very easy to groove to.

The B section initially shifts into an odd meter, so it might make you go “huh?” at first, but if you deliver the lyrics straightforwardly, you’ll be able to ride the melodic line.

When singing, keep a lightly bouncing feel at all times—imagine you are the drummer and lock in the rhythm firmly, and you should find it easier to sing.

It features a dramatic melody and soulful vocals, with stylish bass movement and a particularly strong Black music influence—it truly comes across as an adult love song.

The overall vocal range is on the higher side, from D#3 to D#5.

The melody is simple, so if you’re good with high notes, it should be easy to sing in the original key.

It seems easier to sing if you keep a tight sense of rhythm while really listening to the band sound.

If you keep resonating in the mask area as you sing, you can switch smoothly between chest voice and falsetto.

Try to maintain the same placement for your voice throughout.

voiced mark (dakuten)Ofisharu Higedan Dism

A track from the album “Rejoice,” written and composed by vocalist Satoshi Fujiwara.

Its hallmark is the symbolic title “Dakuten,” which expresses human imperfection and contradiction.

It’s a song where Fujiwara’s signature high tones are absent, and he basically sings in a calm manner.

The melody and rhythm are simple, so it’s easy to remember as a song.

There are parts where he emphasizes the vowels and sings like a sigh, so imitating that when you sing would work really well! You’ll use a lot of breath and might feel short of air, but that’s proof you’re using your breath correctly—once you get used to it, it becomes easy to sing!

It’s a sultry song with a distinctive rhythm that’s different from pop.

The more you listen, the more addictive it becomes.

Many listeners will likely relate to lyrics that convey nuances like “I want to break down the emotional wall between me and the person I cherish” and “I want to know you more.” The rhyming lyrics are also fun to listen to.

Travel is better with companions.Ofisharu Higedan Dism

Tabi wa Michizure,” included on their major-label debut album “Traveler.” The track was used in a Suzuki Swift commercial, and its funky guitars and beats create a happy vibe that really lifts your spirits.

For a HIGEDAN song, the vocal range isn’t that wide, so the barrier to entry is relatively low.

However, because fast melodies appear over a bouncy shuffle rhythm, be mindful to articulate clearly.

Once you learn it slowly, it’s an easy song to sing at karaoke—so why not give it a try?

This is a song by Official HIGE DANDism with a warm, comforting Black music vibe.

Released as a single in February 2021, it was created as the theme song for the film Doraemon: Nobita’s Little Star Wars 2021.

The track is also included on the acclaimed album Editorial.

Its grand, gospel-inspired arrangement paired with Satoshi Fujihara’s clear, transparent vocals creates a soothing sense of reassurance that gently envelops the listener.

The message that even if each person is small, connecting with others can become a great strength is part of the song’s appeal.

It’s a track I hope you’ll listen to when taking a new step forward or when your heart feels a little tired.

Higedan is known for their distinctive metaphors and turns of phrase.

There are even some playful, cuddly lines born from the old ‘front and center’ drill formation, which makes it a joy to listen to.

The poppy phrases ride a brisk beat perfectly, clearly revealing Higedan’s unique world.

It’s a track that bursts with overflowing brightness.
