aiko - 'Kabutomushi' music video

Aiko’s signature love song “Kabutomushi.” The overall vocal range is quite wide, from F3 to F5, but it’s very easy to sing if you switch between chest voice and falsetto.

The A and B sections sit firmly in a lower range, and while the chorus climbs higher than you might expect, it may help to switch decisively to a falsetto base from there.

To switch smoothly between registers, stable pitch is essential.

If you keep your eyebrows raised or make a surprised face, you can maintain accurate pitch centered between your eyebrows without letting it drop into your throat.

Also, when singing high notes, if you hold back and produce the sound halfway, it will definitely be harder to hit, so try projecting your voice solidly!

aiko - “Boyfriend” music video

This song captivates with a poppy, lighthearted sound that’s brimming with the flutter of being in love.

Sung by aiko, a singer-songwriter from Osaka Prefecture, it portrays a heartfelt desire to cherish time with a lover above all else.

It’s packed with emotions anyone in love can relate to—like the feeling that time stops when your cheeks touch—and just singing it will make you feel happy.

Since there are occasional high notes, keeping a steady 4/4 count and placing accents on the beats will help you hit those high parts confidently and sing with ease!

aiko - “Mutual Love” music video

Aiko often has songs that span a wide range from low to high notes.

In the new song “Sōshi Sōai,” the key range looks wide at G#3–C#5, but the actual sung range is lower than you might expect.

The B4 range is used in the chorus and elsewhere, but for most women, that pitch should come out naturally without much effort.

Rather than a “cheerful!” vibe, it’s a song that strongly conveys “bittersweet emotion,” so it’s one you can sing with a calm tone.

When you actually try singing it, you may find many phrases where the pitch drops at the end of the melody lines, which can make intonation tricky for some.

It’s true that moving from low to high can be easier if you have momentum, but going from high to low is very difficult to land accurately.

Try singing lightly while sustaining your breath all the way to the end.

aiko - “Hanabi” music video

It’s one of Aiko’s signature songs that gently cradles those bittersweet summer-night feelings of love.

A hit on TikTok every summer, this was her third single, released in August 1999, peaking at No.

10 on the Oricon charts, and it’s also included on the classic album “Sakura no Ki no Shita.” It beautifully captures that helpless feeling of thinking about the person you like right up until you fall asleep.

Set against summer constellations and the night sky, it portrays a love that swells in your chest and the frustration of it not coming true—cue the heart flutters.

If you listen to it on a night of unrequited love when your feelings for someone are overflowing, you’ll undoubtedly find yourself relating to every word.

aiko - 'Kira Kira' music video

Singer-songwriter aiko, who scored numerous summer hits in the ’90s such as “Hanabi” and “Kabutomushi,” released “Kira Kira” in 2005—a refreshing pop tune crafted with summer in mind as the theme song for the Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama “Ganbatte Ikimasshoi.” Its intro features a memorable piano phrase that makes you feel like something good is about to happen; the sound alone conjures up a vision of a clear, translucent summer sky.

aiko - 'Capsule' music video

Compared to aiko’s other songs, “Capsule” is characterized by a melody that doesn’t move much, making it a song where you can follow the tune straightforwardly.

It seems that aiko herself has commented to that effect.

As you listen, the sections sung softly in head voice at the beginning gradually shift to an emotional chest voice toward the latter half.

In the first half, it might be good to relax and sing gently and lightly.

Also, the very end of this song features a long sustained note.

It’s the moment when the emotion is at its peak, so it’s a part I’d love for you to sing comfortably in chest voice.

The sustained vowel is “o.” Since “o” makes it easy to open the throat and pronounce, there shouldn’t be any problem as long as you take a good breath and prepare before you start singing.

Send the breath flying far into the distance!
