Yorushika is a unit that has produced many great songs.

You could say they’re one of the most popular acts among teenagers.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend for its popularity and ease of singing is Hebi (“Snake”).

The song’s vocal range is mid1E to hiA, which is quite narrow for a female song.

The pitch movement is also relatively gentle, so any junior high school girl should be able to sing it well.

It’s a song that appeals to both girls and boys, so be sure to check it out.
