Queen of KabukichoShiina Ringo
Shiina Ringo’s iconic song “Queen of Kabukicho” stands out for its decadent atmosphere.
It’s a bluesy rock piece characterized by a relatively narrow vocal range throughout.
Most of the singing sits in the mid register, and even the highest parts stay in the lower-high range.
There’s a key change midway that raises the key by one semitone, so set the starting key to feel slightly low for you.
If you want to emulate Shiina Ringo’s style, try finding a key where you can use edge voice.
A slightly higher key makes producing edge voice easier, so give it a try.
