Songs Starting with “Ho” (Hoshi, Hotaru, etc.): Entries 71–80
Roar – HOKOTomonari Sora
HOKO, the ending theme for Season 6 of the anime Kingdom, is an emotional track known for its soul-shaking intensity and weighty atmosphere.
It’s recommended for men who want to train their overall expressiveness, vocal power, and sense of rhythm.
The overall vocal range is A2–D#5, which looks very wide at first glance, but most of the song sits in the low register.
Songs that focus on low notes like this can lose contrast when you sing them, giving a somewhat sluggish impression.
In such cases, intensity is of course important, but choosing where in the melody to place accents also creates a sense of contrast, making the song easier to sing and more pleasant to listen to overall.
Try exaggerating the accent on the first beat—you’ll find your voice projects more than you expect, so keep that in mind.

With a sound woven from guitar and keys that carry a bluesy resonance, it values depth that sinks into the heart over flashiness, resonating comfortably when you want to step away from the bustle of the year’s end and take a deep breath.
