One of sumika’s signature songs, it’s a big crowd-pleaser at live shows and perfect for everyone to sing along! The overall vocal range is F3 to C#5, and it modulates up for the last chorus.

Since it has a fresh, upbeat feel, keeping a bright tone will help you hit the high notes and make it to the end comfortably.

Because it’s a band sound, be sure to listen closely to the drums and lock into the groove.

Also, sounds in the “na” row can be harder to articulate because they tend to be nasal.

Since every hook starts with “ne,” try bringing your energy up more than you think—you’ll project better and find it easier to sing!
