[Bonus Points] Songs that make it easy to perform falls. Carefully selected popular tracks to grasp the knack (1–10)

Kaiju no Hanabuta (Monster’s Flower Song)NEW!Vaundy

It’s one of Vaundy’s signature songs, released on July 3, 2020.

It’s popular for voice training with both men and women, and there were many people who said, “I want to practice it!” The key spot for practicing falls in Kaiju no Hanauta is the chorus.

The A melody also has a rather clipped melodic line, but you can add falls if you want, and it won’t sound weird at all.

However, be careful not to overdo it—keep it moderate.

From the B melody into the chorus, the characteristic style is to drop the words as if spitting them out, so if you imitate that naturally, you should be able to execute the falls.

Try practicing while listening closely to the song.

It’s a love song with a bright, poppy melody and a driving sound that really gets the crowd going at karaoke.

For “Boyfriend,” the key practice point is the chorus.

The A and B sections often end with rising or clipped phrases, which makes it harder to add fills, but the chorus has many sustained notes, and if you finish phrases by lowering the pitch, you should be able to capture that distinctive aiko vibe.

The overall range is high, so be careful not to push too hard.

If you relax while holding out the final syllables, the tension will release and your breath will flow more naturally.

Following “Boku Note,” this is the third single released in 2006—a medium-tempo ballad distinguished by lyrics that liken the indescribable tenderness and the ache of love to indigo-hued scenes.

Takuya Ohashi’s distinctive vocals also feel rich with falls.

Overall, his voice carries a poignant tone, often leaning on strong falsetto, giving a strong sense of dynamic contrast.

If you focus on pitch and sing so the sound “fades away” rather than being “spat out,” your delivery will naturally loosen and the falls will come through, I think.

RobinsonNEW!supittsu

Songs sung with a higher voice like Masamune Kusano of Spitz use a lot of breath, which makes them good practice for scoops and falls.

Robinson isn’t a song where the line endings are chopped off; it’s sung so the sound lingers softly.

Because of that, it’s easier to slide the pitch down smoothly like a fall.

When men sing it, the range is very high, so be careful not to belt.

Falsetto is fine—use plenty of breath and try singing in a way that releases tension at the ends of phrases.

electric shockNEW!Yonezu Kenshi

It’s a fast-paced, jazz-tinged track released in 2020.

It was written specifically as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “MIU404.” The song is sung with a somewhat languid feel, and adding falls could give it an even more stylish vibe.

Since it’s basically a song you can sing in chest voice, letting the tone taper off at the ends of phrases or shifting from chest voice to breathy tones should naturally create falls.

A delivery that holds the pitch to create some tension and then gently drops at the very end also seems to suit the song well.
