Ayumi Hamasaki / Dearest

A ballad themed around bittersweet love, it’s also famous as an ending song for the anime Inuyasha.

In karaoke, it’s an easy song even for beginners if you focus on conveying emotion.

The range rises toward the latter half, so if high notes in chest voice are tough, mixing in falsetto can help express the poignancy.

In any case, take plenty of breaths and aim to sing each phrase through, projecting your voice fully.

Try to let it flow without chopping the lines.

Love Song in DecemberGACKT(Gackt)

GACKT “December Love Song”

When it comes to GACKT’s Christmas songs, many fans probably think of “12gatsu no Love song,” don’t they? Released in 2001, while it is a love song, its lyrics are framed like a prayer for peace, and it remains enduringly popular today.

Its vocal range is extremely wide—from mid1 A to high G-sharp—with very dramatic jumps in pitch.

Because the low notes are quite low, adjusting the key can be challenging; however, the tempo itself is relaxed, making it a song that’s relatively easy to keep in tune.
