It’s a warm dance tune with Chinese-inspired elements.

The lyrics, which feel like they gently stay by the side of those who feel lonely, really resonate.

Starry NightYuka

Starry NightYuka

This is singer-songwriter Yuka’s sixth digital single, released in February 2023.

It was selected as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “A Night When Stars Fall.” It’s a slow-tempo ballad with a very gentle, soothing vocal tone.

As a vocal melody, there aren’t many particularly tricky parts for the average person to sing at karaoke, but faithfully reproducing Yuka’s delivery—resonant across both low and high ranges while never losing softness—seems quite challenging.

Be careful not to strain your throat on the high notes, and make sure to let your chest voice resonate solidly in the low parts when you sing.
