Aimer “Kataomoi” MUSIC VIDEO (FULL ver.)

This is a 2016 song by Aimer.

“Kataomoi” is characterized by a tearful, emotive vocal tone.

Rather than being a song sung entirely in falsetto, there are moments where the high phrases are sung in falsetto or a mixed voice.

It might be good for those trying falsetto for the first time or practicing it.

A suggested progression is: first, learn to sing it in chest voice → then sing the parts that feel high with a stronger, mix-leaning approach → then challenge yourself with falsetto.

In the end, if you’re not used to either chest or falsetto, you’ll use more breath than you think.

It’s important to focus on diaphragmatic breathing and take in plenty of air.

When producing sound, aim to resonate in the head and try to let the voice out as gently as possible.
