Rising HopeLiSA
Speaking of LiSA, it’s all about anisongs! She also has an image of singing mostly high-pitched songs, right? Among them, “Rising Hope” is probably one that many people feel is “so fast and so high… great to listen to, but tough to sing!” My students struggled with it, too.
Of course the high notes are challenging, but the tempo is also very fast at 190.
On top of that, there are lots of rap-like and intricate parts, so you want to make sure you don’t get left behind while singing.
Also, for the ends of phrases in the chorus, if you slightly lengthen them and articulate the vowels clearly, it adds to the vibe and sounds cool! There are lots of high notes in succession, but try to keep the sound resonating in your head so the pitch doesn’t drop.
