chantAdo
It’s the official theme song of Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween event—the one that became famous for the zombie dance! It’s an extremely challenging song packed with high-pitched shouts, low, spoken parts, and rap-like sections.
I learned it together with my students during lessons, too! Of course, once you can sing it well, it’s incredibly fun and satisfying! Some of the lyrics use difficult words, so I recommend listening to the original and memorizing them carefully one by one.
The tempo is very fast and you have to keep singing one line after another, but if you push too hard, you can wreck your throat, and if you hold back too much, it loses impact.
If you use your breath well and project your falsetto strongly, you can sing with a cool, powerful tone! Also, since it’s a dance track, once you feel more comfortable, try moving your body or swaying as you sing—you’ll lock into the rhythm, your voice will come out more easily, and it’ll be easier to add accents!
6or9Hyde
HYDE, an artist who has earned high acclaim in Europe.
With L’Arc~en~Ciel, he delivers delicate and complex compositions; with VAMPS, sharp, hard-hitting rock; and in his solo work, irregular yet authentic hard rock.
His new song, 6or9, carries a sinister tone reminiscent of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s KINSHOKU (Shinshoku), yet overall it’s crafted into tight, punchy hard rock.
A must-listen for anyone who wants to scream along to electronica-infused rock!
