CrossfaithMoNoLith

Crossfaith – “Monolith” Official Music Video

An electrifying shock of a track inspired by the monolith that triggered apes’ evolution into intelligent life, seamlessly fusing Crossfaith’s weighty message with electronica.

It portrays the protagonist’s inner turmoil—lost in life and struggling through deep despair—through powerful shouts and a destructive sound.

Released in June 2012 as the opener of the mini-album “ZION EP,” it’s known as a work that symbolizes the band’s musical evolution.

Their legendary 2014 performance on the main stage of the UK’s Download Festival, which drove roughly 20,000 fans into a frenzy, is still talked about today.

A gem that resonates with every soul yearning to break out of its shell while confronting inner conflict.

This gameSuzuki Konomi

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!

Walking with youNovelbright

It’s a pretty difficult song that jumps straight into the chorus from the very beginning without any intro.

It’s up-tempo and very band-like, so it looks cool if you can sing it! The overall vocal range is G3–E5, and the melody moves up and down a lot.

The vibe of the A and B sections in verse 1 and verse 2 changes a bit, too.

There’s a lot to memorize, right? (lol) Even if you can get through the first verse smoothly, many people stumble on the second! My students also started by memorizing the English at the beginning of the second verse! Also, when there are lots of words, try keeping the rhythm with your hands while you sing.

There are almost no breaks in this song, so it’s pretty tough, but if you tackle it one melodic section at a time, you’ll definitely be able to sing it! You’ve got this!

Don’t Think.FeelUVERworld

UVERworld 『Don’t Think.Feel』
Don't Think.FeelUVERworld

This song powerfully urges you not to think with logic, but to trust your own intuition.

It’s the lead track from the album “THE ONE,” released in November 2012, and a soulful number that was honed live—performed on an arena tour even before its release.

With the question “Who are you living for?” it teaches the importance of sticking to your own style.

Many listeners have likely found encouragement in its defiant message.

It’s an anthem to play when you need the courage to follow the voice in your heart.

Rose of PassionTHE BLUE HEARTS

A timeless anthem of encouragement sung by the legendary rock band THE BLUE HEARTS.

Sometimes the answer is right in front of us, yet we overthink things and lose sight of it, don’t we? This song blasts away that mental fog and powerfully reminds us that “what truly matters is right within your heart.” Released in July 1990, it’s also famous for having made a big splash as the theme song for the TV drama “High School Graffiti 2.” It’s the perfect track when you need the courage to take on a challenge or when your confidence is starting to waver.

Give it a listen and let the passion hidden in your heart burst into bright, blazing flame!

A thrilling rock number that demands the resolve to break past your limits! The question “What is the seventh bullet you load after firing six?” fuses with TAKUYA∞’s passionate vocals to ignite the listener’s heart.

Released as a single in March 2012, it reached No.

2 on the Oricon weekly chart, cementing its presence.

If you refuse to settle for the status quo and want to take the next step, this is the song that will powerfully push you forward!

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.
