A rock number released on October 21, 1985.

In live recordings, the intense shouts right from the intro are distinctive, and you can feel Ozaki’s madness as a live artist.

The overall vocal range is E3 to F#4, so for the average male, the chorus might feel a bit high.

It’s a groove-driven song, so if you sing while feeling the drums and moving your whole body, your voice should come out more easily.

Also, since it builds up a lot toward the end, be careful not to push too hard.

Using your body to sing helps you stay relaxed, so try singing while stepping or swaying side to side.

With fierce guitar and drums, it’s an up-tempo rock ’n’ roll sound that whips the crowd into a frenzy at live shows.

It’s said to portray the loneliness of youth and the impulse to search for one’s true self amid the impersonal cityscape.

It’s a very energetic song, so if your energy isn’t high when you sing it, you might not be able to keep up with its momentum.

Also, since the range is a bit high, being mindful of a more projected “stage voice” and sending your sound as far as possible will help open your throat and make it easier to sing.

It’s highly recommended when you’re in the mood to belt your heart out!

Blending elements of rock, jazz, fusion, and city pop, the song carries an uplifting message inspired by the birth of the artist’s first child, while also interweaving themes like the struggles of one’s twenties, personal aggression, and life and death.

At 9 minutes and 55 seconds, it’s quite long, yet it feels like a rock number that never drags.

Around the five-minute mark, the melody briefly shifts in mood, then introduces some ad-libbing and builds toward the ending.

The very last melody has a spoken-word quality, making it a track where you can enjoy a wealth of musical ideas in a single piece.

The key to singing it well is not to go all-out from the very beginning!

This is the opening track featured as the first song on the 1985 album “Through the Broken Door.” Its driving band sound and densely packed lyrics are striking, conveying a strong sense of urgency.

You can feel a determination to overcome suffering in both the sound and the vocals.

The melodic range rises and falls gently, so once you lock into the rhythm, it should be a relatively easy song to sing.
