Love SpiritsChatto Monchī

A fairly difficult Chatmonchy ballad.

In the first verse, you sing almost entirely a cappella, so that’s where your vocal skill really shows.

Also, since Chatmonchy’s songs are set to Ecchan’s key, the pitch is considerably higher than for most people.

Dàjiā (landlord)Hitoto Yo

Hitoto Yo’s hidden gem of a ballad.

It’s a song about her homeland of Taiwan and her parents, and it evokes a nostalgic feeling.

The chorus has a few high notes, but otherwise it’s easy to sing.

The only real challenge is the Chinese at the end! You’ll have to listen to the CD and learn it by ear.
