a hair’s breadthUru
A digital-only single by Uru, released in April 2023.
It was selected as the ending theme for the anime “Hell’s Paradise.” I believe the key point when singing this song is how well you can reproduce the contrast between the whispered vocals in the quieter sections—such as the very beginning, where the backing arrangement is subdued—and the vocal expression in the rhythm-driven sections, especially the chorus.
The high notes in the chorus will be a highlight for those confident in their upper range, but please challenge yourself to sing them with power while making sure the singing and vocal tone don’t become rough or coarse.
chAngEmiwa
A song that fully showcases miwa’s charm.
Set to an upbeat pop-rock sound, it sings about the importance of accepting change without fear.
With themes of self-discovery and growth, it gives you the courage to overcome trials and challenges.
Released in September 2010, this track was also used as the opening theme for the anime BLEACH and resonated with many listeners.
It became a pivotal song in miwa’s career, helping establish her status as a talented singer-songwriter.
When you want to feel positive or take a new step forward, listening to this song will surely give you courage!
travelingUtada Hikaru
This was Hikaru Utada’s ninth single, released in November 2001.
I think Utada’s natural vocal quality is, if anything, on the lower, fuller side rather than a high tone, but it’s impressive how she makes the most of that commanding voice while skillfully spanning a wide range.
She’s also top-notch as a practitioner of mixed voice, which is extremely important for singing contemporary R&B.
I’d even say that the term “mixed voice” became widely recognized among the general public thanks to her breakthrough.
Come to think of it, around the time she took off, I noticed a surge in my vocal students saying they wanted to master mixed voice.
She may be the original figure who established the basic approach to singing in modern Japanese R&B.
Of course, it’s not as if she invented mixed voice herself.
Morning will come againDREAMS COME TRUE
It’s the kind of melody that you find yourself humming before you know it.
It’s a song by the male-female duo band DREAMS COME TRUE.
It was released in 1999 as their 23rd single.
The soulful vocals are truly moving.
By the way, a novel based on this song has been published, so if you’re interested, be sure to look it up.
Miracle Dreamlandshiki
Released on August 2, 2018, this song by Shiki., who is active not only as a singer based in Kyoto but also as a musical theater actress, was created as the theme song for the original musical “Sengoku no Kiseki,” starring Shiki.
Shiki.’s appeal lies in her very robust vocal tone, and that powerful voice can be fully enjoyed not only in the low registers but also in the high notes of the chorus in this track.
The soaring high note at the very end of the chorus—practically a scream—is especially spectacular!
with a gentle heartSuperfly
This is one of Superfly’s signature songs, known for its powerful high-tone vocals.
Centered on themes of kindness and love, it celebrates the importance of human connection.
Released in July 2009, it was included on the album “Box Emotions.” In 2023, it was chosen as the Japanese end theme for the film “Elemental,” bringing it renewed attention.
With heartfelt lyrics and Ochi’s stunning vocal performance, the song offers both inspiration and comfort to listeners.
It’s perfect when you’re feeling down or want to reflect on someone special.
Be sure to give this beautiful, heartwarming track a listen.
