The rock band song “Hana ni Natte” has a mature vibe.

It was the opening theme for season 1 of the TV anime The Apothecary Diaries and became a big topic for its lyrics as well.

The overall vocal range of the song is G#3–D#5.

The A and B sections sit in the low to mid range and can be sung in chest voice.

At the start of the chorus, the range shoots up suddenly, so many people end up straining there.

There’s room to take a breath before the chorus, so make sure to use proper diaphragmatic breathing and fill your abdomen with air.

Also, since there are many “na” syllables in the high notes, it may be harder to produce the sound, but if you focus on singing lightly, you’ll be fine.

In any case, sing lightly with head resonance and match the pitch accurately.
