X JAPAN – Kurenai (Tokyo Dome 2009.05.03) [1080P HD]

X JAPAN’s famous and high-pitched “Kurenai” starts off surprisingly calm, making you wonder, “Is this really that song?”—at least that’s what I thought on first listen (lol).

It might be easier for women to sing in the original key, but it’s quite high for men.

Toshl’s vocals are incredible—he maintains solid high tones while adding rasp.

The key to hitting high notes is your core.

If your body wobbles, your voice won’t project forward, so make sure to support from your lower abdomen (tanden).

There are parts that feel like you’re shouting, but if you actually just shout, you’ll wreck your throat.

Instead, try resonating in your head with the sensation of a surprised, sudden high voice.

This is definitely a song you’ll want to add to your karaoke repertoire!

Distance of the Starry SkyTHE ALFEE63rank/position

Distance of the Starry Sky

“Hoshizora no Distance” is a signature song that epitomizes THE ALFEE’s driving rock sound.

The lead vocal is by bassist Masaru Sakurai.

The energy is high right from the intro, and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser live, but be careful not to rush the tempo as the excitement builds.

The original tempo isn’t actually that fast—more of a steady feel.

The vocal range climbs after a key change in the middle, so you’ll want to lock in those pitches without hesitation.

Visualize clearly and sing with intention.

The overall range of the song is F#3 to A#4, and since the final melody goes higher, keep the notes in mind and add a light accent there.
