SubtitleOfisharu Higedan Dism

Official HIGE DANDism – Subtitle [Official Video]

This song gives the impression of a moving, listenable ballad.

To sing it with a beautiful, breathy tone like vocalist Fujiwara’s, lung capacity, diaphragmatic breathing, and bodily awareness are all important.

You might think, “There’s so much to keep in mind…,” but don’t worry! First, when you sing, make sure to really listen to the backing drums.

If you sing in sync with the drum accents, it becomes easier to keep the rhythm and to hit the high notes.

By the way, even my female students struggled with this song, saying, “It’s so high!”—I think the key is how you produce the sound.

If you sing with the image of resonating in the back of your head, the overall feel becomes softer, bringing you closer to Fujiwara’s gentle tone.

There are also soaring long tones, so try finding the placement where you can produce them comfortably and sing from there.
