Stardust Utopiaotetsu
Hoshikuzu Utopia has really cool piano and bass movement.
The overall vocal range is B3–D5, which is relatively moderate for a Vocaloid song, and the tempo isn’t too fast, so it should be comfortable to sing in a relaxed state.
One thing to watch out for is not going all-out emotionally right from the start.
It’s a song that has strength within its softness, so I think it’s good to gradually increase the intensity with each phrase.
Also, when the melody changes, it’s almost seamlessly connected with little to no pause.
This connection is very important, so when you move to the next phrase, try to be conscious of the pitch bar and project your voice firmly.
