CAROLSHamasaki Ayumi
This ballad, sung by Ayumi Hamasaki—who boasts numerous hits as the diva of the Heisei era—heralds the arrival of winter.
Its wistful melody seems to melt into the crisp winter air, and the lyrics, which express deep affection for a loved one, resonate in the heart.
The sound, evoking images of a pure white snowy landscape, gently wraps the listener’s heart.
Released as a single in September 2004, it also drew attention as the CM song for Panasonic’s LUMIX FX7 digital camera.
Deliver it tenderly, and you’ll be sure to stand out at karaoke.
A gem of a track you’ll want to listen to on winter dates with a partner or on nights when you feel a longing for company.
When you are in the time of your life…Hamada Shogo
This is an early signature work that became a turning point as Shogo Hamada’s first album for which he wrote all the lyrics himself, and it’s packed with fun days spent touring various places with the band! The tempo is very relaxed, so you can sing carefully, and the pitch is easy to follow.
Also, the structure raises the range gradually toward the chorus, so if you build momentum little by little as you sing, your voice will come out smoothly without catching in your throat.
Basically, the place where you produce the voice is the vocal cords, so place a finger in the dip between your collarbones, bring your other hand in front of the vocal cords, and sing as if you’re letting your voice hit your hand in time with the rhythm.
As the pitch gets higher, move your hand farther away—away from the vocal cords—and project your voice toward it.
Until I met youHamada Shogo
Although it’s one of Shogo Hamada’s early works, the melody and lyrics are excellent, and the song enjoys strong popularity among fans.
Its simple, early-era sound and melodic sensibility—foreshadowing his later works—shine through, making it a track that conveys the roots of his music, and it’s especially recommended for those who like love songs and ballads! Rather than belting it out fully, you’ll want to sing with a touch of ease.
Instead of projecting your voice far away, try singing as if you’re resonating the sound right in front of your face using your hands—this will bring out a more poignant, aching quality in your voice.
Be mindful to support and project your voice properly.
