In loveHY

HY - “In Love” (Theme song for the film ‘366 Days’) Music Video

The HY songs where Nakasone takes the lead are all high and powerful, aren’t they? Since there are many ballads, I think a lot of people include them in their karaoke repertoire! In this song, it’s a male–female twin-vocal setup, and only the A-melody is sung by the male vocalist, Niizato.

However, the key jumps up from the chorus, so when singing it’s best to avoid using your throat overall.

Nakasone’s charm is that she doesn’t use falsetto for high notes! She sings in chest voice no matter how high the range, so the emotion comes through directly.

The reason I feel like crying no matter which song I listen to was Nakasone’s singing style all along!

filamentUru

[Official] Uru “Filament” – Theme song for the film “When You Cry Because It’s Delicious”

This song, which features a piano accompaniment, matches beautifully with Uru’s heartrending vocals.

From the second verse, the band comes in, changing the atmosphere and intensifying the emotions, giving a heart-stirring impression.

Even though it’s the same chorus, the number of instruments in the backing changes between the first and second verses, so the level of excitement is completely different! The key point when singing this part is dynamics.

Try holding back your emotions in the first verse and then fully releasing them in the second, singing freely and comfortably in your sweet spot.

Uru also switches between head voice and chest voice, so be sure to listen closely for that!

One of my students once practiced “Stellar Stellar,” but this time, “Mou Dounatte mo Ii ya” has a completely different vibe—it’s a cool-style anime song.

Listening through the whole track, it has an overall sense of speed with lots of fast lyrics, so keeping the rhythm is very important.

Since it’s such a fast song and the pitch goes up to D5, the key is to avoid straining your voice.

It might help to sing with a relaxed approach, using a strong head voice.
