Cry BabyOfisharu Higedan Dism

A digital-only single by Official HIGE DANDism released in May 2021.

It was reportedly written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime Tokyo Revengers.

As a karaoke—or rather, vocal improvement—practice piece, this song is quite an advanced selection.

First and foremost, you’ll need to be able to recreate vocalist Satoshi Fujihara’s very bright, resonant high-tone voice, and you’ll also have to keep up with the numerous key changes that occur throughout the song.

In addition, it demands a wide range of rhythmic expression, from lively sections to softly sung parts.

Precisely because it’s such a difficult song, the rewards you’ll gain once you can sing it well are considerable.

Make sure you develop a technique that never constricts your throat even in the high notes, and then move on to the next stage of practice, okay?

Aqua Timez, the band that has made a limited-time comeback through the end of 2025.

Their “Sora Ippai ni Kanaderu Inori” is a new track that reconstructs the classic album of the same name released in 2005, and it’s built on highly dramatic and moving lyrics and melodies.

While the song isn’t particularly high in range overall, the chorus features phrases that sit roughly between mixed voice and chest voice.

Because they must be sung on the vowel sound “i,” it can be considered slightly more difficult than typical mixed-voice passages.

Mr.Children’s classic song “CANDY,” included on the acclaimed 2005 album “I♡U.” This piece is characterized by a fairly wide vocal range of mid1 C# to hi B, with the highest chest note at hi A.

Although that note doesn’t appear often, it comes up once in each pre-modulation chorus, so before singing, be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing and conscious breath control.

If you’re confident in your upper range, it might be interesting to challenge yourself by singing the post-modulation hi B not in falsetto but with a mixed voice.

Among J-POP bands, Official HIGE DANDism stands out for songs that somehow evoke elements of Black music.

The vocalist, Satoshi Fujihara, is known for having a very high voice.

Their track “Parabola” showcases Fujihara’s soaring high tones; while its overall range isn’t extremely wide at mid1 F to hi D, it frequently hits hi A# and hi C, making it a perfect piece for building endurance in your mixed voice.

Isei-jin (NHK Taiga Drama “Reach Beyond the Blue Sky” Inspired Song) / Vaundy: MUSIC VIDEO

This is an inspiration song for the NHK Taiga drama “Reach Beyond the Blue Sky.” It’s interesting that the piece was created, inspired by the life of Eiichi Shibusawa, who is depicted on the 10,000-yen bill.

“Iseijin” is a song with a lively tempo, and the vocal range is set in a key that’s comfortable for male singers.

There are some passages where the pitch moves subtly at the ends of phrases, but I think it’s best to sing straight through at first without worrying too much about that.

Rather than forcing your pitch to match, focus on proper vocal production using your vocal cords; that will make it easier to sing in tune.

Try lifting your eyebrows and consciously projecting your voice clearly!

Hata Motohiro’s masterpiece “Suisa no Tsuki” is marked by its emotional melody.

Released after the nationwide hit “Himawari no Yakusoku,” this track has a notably acoustic and mellow finish.

Its vocal range is relatively narrow at mid1F to hiC, but the chorus features sustained high phrases up to hiC, making it harder to sing than it might sound.

If you have a high voice, you might try singing the falsetto parts with mixed voice.

Be sure to check it out.

This is a track from Yu Takahashi’s seventh full-length album, “PERSONALITY,” which was released on October 21, 2020.

It’s crafted into a very pleasant song with a bright major-key feel and a medium up-tempo groove.

Takahashi’s vocal performance throughout the track is strikingly confident and resonant, and if you practice and learn to sing this song well, you’ll surely develop the ability to recreate its big groove and driving feel.

Even if your voice cracks a little or you can’t quite reach the high notes, don’t worry too much—just enjoy singing it.

That kind of attitude is actually very important when it comes to singing!
