Official Hige Dandism is known for their bright ballads, and among them, the highly recommended track is “Ai Nandaga…”.

While they are known for having many unconventional songs alongside more orthodox pop, this piece is characterized by an especially straightforward, unadorned vocal line.

Although there are some high phrases, the overall range is dominated by higher notes, so it’s not an extremely wide vocal range.

For those with a decent upper register and pitch sense, it’s a song that shouldn’t be too difficult to aim for a high score with in karaoke.

This track stands out with a catchy, familiar melody that makes you want to hum along.

While it sings about the difficulties of human relationships and the absurdities of society, it ultimately conveys a longing to connect with someone important.

Included on the album “Report,” released in April 2017, it offers a glimpse into Official HIGE DANDism’s ambitious indie-era activities.

Satoshi Fujihara’s soaring vocals and the band’s comfortable sound further enhance the lyrical world of the song.

If you find high notes tough in karaoke, why not give this song a try? It’s also recommended when you want to reflect on life and relationships.

ShowerOfisharu Higedan Dism

A love song that finds happiness in everyday life, “Shower.” This track was included on Editorial, released in August 2021 as the third album.

It’s a memorable song for its realistic depiction of a relationship that has settled and matured over time.

Overall, it’s a relaxed, whisper-like song to sing, so it shouldn’t tire you out compared to other tracks.

You might unintentionally push harder in the chorus, but if you keep your throat open and let the sound resonate, you can sing it without straining.

Give it a try!
