You, the Sheep, and the BlueRADWIMPS
RADWIMPS are popular among students too.
Because the vocal range is a bit high, you might assume you can’t sing their songs, but once you get the hang of it, you definitely can! In “Kimi to Hitsuji to Ao,” there are lots of words and a fast pace, so first run through the melody line.
Try singing all the lyrics as “hi.” “Hi” is a sound that makes it easy to use head voice, so you’ll naturally let your breath flow.
Follow the melody line as if you’re saying “hi” crisply.
After that, try singing with the actual lyrics.
You’ll likely find the pronunciation much easier.
