Aimyon – Stay Like This Tonight [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

This is a song by Aimyon that portrays a helpless night where you dissolve your true feelings into the bubbles in your glass and surrender yourself to an ambiguous relationship.

Wishing for no more than a modest trigger to feel fulfilled evokes emotions akin to the resignation of unrequited love.

Released in November 2018, the song drew attention as the theme for the drama “We Can’t Become Beasts,” and has been streamed over 100 million times.

If you’ve ever been unable to tell someone how you really feel and felt like you might as well just go with the flow, you’ll surely understand the protagonist’s pain.

Doesn’t it feel like this song gently stays close to a heart burdened with feelings that have nowhere to go?

Aimyon – Naked Heart [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

For people in their 40s, Aimyon might feel relatively new, but she’s popular across all generations and has many easy-to-sing songs—highly recommended! Among them, “Naked Heart” (Hadaka no Kokoro) was released in 2020 and used as the theme song for the drama “My Housekeeper Nagisa-san,” so many of you may already know it.

The overall vocal range is fairly wide, from F3 to D#5.

I think it’s very singable if you use chest voice for the verses and switch to falsetto for the high notes in the chorus.

The song’s structure also builds toward the chorus, making it easier to add dynamics when you sing.

Falsetto is a technique that can convey a sense of poignancy.

Take plenty of breath and make sure to resonate in your head.

Mika Nakashima "ORION" Music Video

A quintessential winter ballad produced as an insert song for the drama “Ryusei no Kizuna,” it’s a track more people are likely to sing as winter comes around.

Since it’s a ballad with a relaxed tempo, a careful, precise start is important to keep your pitch steady.

The A and B verses sit quite low, so be mindful not to go off pitch there.

For low notes, try singing in a whisper-like manner; letting the breath flow will make it easier to match pitch.

The chorus rises higher, so avoid suddenly forcing it with your throat—aim to resonate in the same place throughout and keep that consistent focus as you sing.
