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.

The World Is Falling in Love / CHiCO with HoneyWorks

CHiCO with HoneyWorks is a unit consisting of a female singer and a creator team.

Their debut single, “The World Is Falling in Love,” used as the opening theme for the TV anime Blue Spring Ride (Ao Haru Ride), is a pleasant track featuring a clear, piano-focused sound.

The melody rapidly rises and falls with few places to breathe, and the chorus makes heavy use of falsetto, making it difficult to maintain accurate pitch—so even women who are confident with high notes shouldn’t let their guard down.

With its catchy melody and cute lyrics, it’s a pop tune that, if you can pull it off, will draw attention from both men and women.
