Ayaka / Nijiiro Music Video

“Nijiiro” was sung by many people in vocal training as well.

Of course, many also chose “Mikazuki,” but “Nijiiro” was especially popular because people said, “I can sing it without straining!” Indeed, during lessons, everyone seemed to relax well and found it easy to sing.

The overall range is F#3 to D5, which looks wide if you only consider the range, but since F#4 is used the most, there’s no need to be overly tense.

Also, for the flowing melody in the pre-chorus, if you don’t articulate every word too clearly and just go with the flow, you can avoid getting stuck.

For the last part of the chorus, if you sing each note carefully, it feels good and helps you stay on pitch.

There are points to focus on for each section of the melody, but you’ll likely find it easy to sing—so definitely try learning it.
