KobukuroIma, sakihokoru hanatachi yo

Kobukuro – Oh flowers now in full bloom
KobukuroIma, sakihokoru hanatachi yo

This is a song that was used as the theme for NHK’s Sochi Olympics in 2014.

Many of you are probably familiar with it.

Although it’s a song by Kobukuro, “Ima, Saki Hokoru Hanatachi yo” has a very clear vocal melody, making it easy to sing even solo.

As for how to feel the rhythm, taking it slowly and relaxed works well, but doubling the tempo also makes it easier to sing and is recommended.

The overall vocal range of the song is C3 to F#4, so most men should be able to sing it comfortably in chest voice.

Also, since it’s a ballad, creating contrast between the lower parts of the verses (A and B sections) and the lift in the chorus will enhance expressiveness and help boost your score.

Try to keep your facial muscles lifted so your pitch doesn’t drop while you sing!
