Raspberry LoverHata Motohiro30rank/position
Motohiro Hata’s 23rd single, released in November 2019.
While Hata is strongly associated with singing ballad-type songs using a beautiful mixed voice, in this track he effectively employs a mixed voice with a strong chest voice—more natural voice components—to deliver a fairly powerful high tone.
In the chorus, especially in the phrase where he sings the song title, the voice can get tight if you force it, so practice keeping your throat open to produce high notes without strain.
