An exhilarating song

This gameSuzuki Konomi

This game

Do you know the anison singer Konomi Suzuki? She’s really cool, so if you like anime songs, you should definitely give her a listen! In “This game,” the notes are extremely high throughout, and it even modulates in the last chorus, making it go even higher.

The overall range of the song is B3 to F5, which is generally on the higher side, and if you try to belt it all in chest voice, your throat will get wrecked (lol).

Suzuki mixes in head voice skillfully.

When hitting notes as high as in “This game,” it’s easier if you focus on resonance rather than just pushing or belting.

That said, it’s not something anyone can do right away, so first try placing a hand on your chest and check that your chest is resonating.

Also, if you forget to breathe, you won’t be able to hit high notes, so take plenty of air through your mouth and line up your breathing with the song’s timing!

A bird that cannot flyyuzu

Yuzu “Tobenai Tori” MUSIC VIDEO

This song is one where Yuzu’s Iwasawa takes the lead vocals, and it’s quite high-pitched.

The A section sits low and is sung almost like spoken word, so it’s relatively easy and calm, but the pitch shoots up right at the start of the B section.

The highest note is C#5 in the chorus, and there are lots of long sustained notes, so it can be tough unless you’re constantly resonating in the head.

For reference, my student also struggled quite a bit from the B section, but once they worked on a head voice that resonates up top, they were able to sing the whole song.

Because it’s a high song, you might focus only on the high notes, but the surprising pitfall is actually the low parts.

It’s easy for the pitch to sag and turn into a throaty sound, so keep your eyebrows raised even as the melody changes—just like Iwasawa does—when you sing.

Aim for Iwasawa’s crystal-clear voice!
