I have lots of wishes.Suiyōbi no Campanella

Wednesday Campanella’s classic “Negai wa Gyo-san.” Because of its grand yet gentle melody, many people probably feel it’s an easy song to sing.

It’s true that the A and B sections fall into the easier category among the pieces introduced here, but the chorus is different.

In the latter part of the chorus, the high-pitched phrase is sung with a tone that combines the softness of falsetto and the core of mixed voice, and on top of that, it must be sustained as a long tone—making it deceptively challenging.

If you want to develop a delicate falsetto, definitely give it a try.
