DearestHamasaki Ayumi1rank/position

Ayumi Hamasaki / Dearest

A ballad themed around bittersweet love, it’s also famous as an ending song for the anime Inuyasha.

In karaoke, it’s an easy song even for beginners if you focus on conveying emotion.

The range rises toward the latter half, so if high notes in chest voice are tough, mixing in falsetto can help express the poignancy.

In any case, take plenty of breaths and aim to sing each phrase through, projecting your voice fully.

Try to let it flow without chopping the lines.
