[For High School Boys] Easy-to-Sing Japanese Songs for Karaoke (1–10)

fireworks (launched into the sky)Yonezu Kenshi

Regarding the duet song Uchiage Hanabi with DAOKO, this time I’ll introduce Kenshi Yonezu’s solo version! The overall vocal range sits at a relatively calm C3–A4, showcasing Yonezu’s characteristically gentle, tender tone throughout.

In fact, pitch tends to become less stable in the lower notes than the higher ones, so it’s important to pay close attention to the very beginning of each phrase.

If your breathing is shallow, it becomes harder to produce sound, so focus on taking deep breaths.

To nail the pitch, it also helps to lift your facial muscles.

Rather than lifting them while singing, raise them as you inhale and keep them engaged as you phonate.

Since the song is relaxed, there’s ample time for breaths, so don’t forget to take one each time.

Also, because it sits in the midrange, make sure to project your voice forward so it doesn’t get muffled!
