Vanillakyanai

Kyannai – Vanilla [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Released on March 9, 2022 as the 4th digital single, this is a signature love song by Kyanai.

Its simple lyrics and bittersweet backstory became a hot topic, turning it into a massive hit that surpassed 100 million streams.

The overall vocal range spans D3 to A4, with higher notes appearing toward the latter half.

The melody is simple, so even first-time listeners should find it easy to pick up.

The B section in particular sits low, and you might feel the pitch dropping and harder to sing, so make sure your vocal cords are fully engaged.

Focus on the hollow between your collarbones and imagine projecting the voice forward from there!

Loverssumika

sumika / Lovers【Music Video】

One of sumika’s signature songs, it’s a big crowd-pleaser at live shows and perfect for everyone to sing along! The overall vocal range is F3 to C#5, and it modulates up for the last chorus.

Since it has a fresh, upbeat feel, keeping a bright tone will help you hit the high notes and make it to the end comfortably.

Because it’s a band sound, be sure to listen closely to the drums and lock into the groove.

Also, sounds in the “na” row can be harder to articulate because they tend to be nasal.

Since every hook starts with “ne,” try bringing your energy up more than you think—you’ll project better and find it easier to sing!
