Noshi’s work, which portrays a bittersweet relationship with an older woman, is a captivating song told from the viewpoint of a junior who is drawn to yet bewildered by a senior exuding composure and allure.
Subtle nuances of complex emotions—sweet temptation and inner conflict, jealousy and possessiveness—are delicately expressed.
Released in August 2023, this track showcases the sharp insight and sensibility unique to Noshi, who is currently gaining attention especially among Gen Z.

Be mindful of clear enunciation and expressive delivery, and try singing it while channeling your own feelings.
InfernoMrs. GREEN APPLE
When people hear “artists or bands with a wide vocal range,” many probably think of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE first.
Their song Inferno, released in 2019, features a distinctly stronger rock flavor compared to their more recent tracks.
The most challenging aspect of this piece is undoubtedly the chorus, which repeatedly alternates between chest voice and falsetto.
While advanced techniques like vibrato or vocal runs are hardly required, the pitch control is very demanding, making it a song that significantly narrows who can sing it well.

This is a poignant, ballad-style song that captures the feeling of carefully nurturing a small glimmer of hope.
It delicately portrays deep emotions and inner conflict toward a loved one, as well as the warm light felt within that relationship.

Its melody beautifully conveys subtle emotional shifts, making it a perfect fit for singers with a powerful voice.
Perform it at karaoke, and you’re sure to turn heads!
