aiko - 'Kabutomushi' music video

Kabutomushi has a relaxed tempo.

If you want to practice vibrato, I recommend starting with a tempo this laid-back.

Most people probably sing the A verse without belting, but because you can sing softly while adding a slight wobble, even those who aren’t sure how to do vibrato can get a feel for that “gently wavering” sensation.

As a rule, it’s good to slightly sustain the ends of phrases.

When you breathe out, try to make a fine wobble by consciously articulating from the consonant through to the vowel.

aiko - “Hanabi” music video

When it comes to songs that capture a cute yet bittersweet summer-night crush, this is probably the one many people think of.

It’s known as one of singer-songwriter aiko’s signature tracks.

The song overlays the beauty and transience of lights blooming and fading in the night sky with the unspoken feelings of unrequited love.

Released as a single in August 1999, it’s also included on the acclaimed album “Sakura no Ki no Shita.” There’s also a well-known anecdote that aiko, who was very busy at the time, drew inspiration from the sadness of not being able to attend the fireworks festival she went to every year.

Pairing it with visuals of summer nightscapes or sparklers will make for an even more emotional story.

Mutual loveaiko4rank/position

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.

A winter ballad whose aching vocals by aiko strike straight to the heart.

It portrays feelings that can’t be severed for a former lover and a love that doesn’t fade, even after years have passed.
