The Departure of LoveOfisharu Higedan Dism31rank/position

The Departure of Love

This is a heartbreak ballad included on the album “MAN IN THE MIRROR.” The overall vocal range spans E3 to F5, and although the higher notes appear more in the latter half and may feel high, the clear, band-driven drum sound makes it very easy to groove to.

The B section initially shifts into an odd meter, so it might make you go “huh?” at first, but if you deliver the lyrics straightforwardly, you’ll be able to ride the melodic line.

When singing, keep a lightly bouncing feel at all times—imagine you are the drummer and lock in the rhythm firmly, and you should find it easier to sing.

Rashisa

This is the song chosen as the theme for the feature-length anime “Hyaku-emu,” and it’s a quintessentially Hige-dan style challenge.

The rhythm is relatively steady, but there are lots of words, making the breathing difficult, and the range is extremely wide.

In the C section and the chorus, many people will probably think, “It goes up here?!” Once you start singing there’s almost no downtime, with melodies coming one after another, so you’ll need serious resolve (lol).

First, make sure you thoroughly memorize the lyrics and melody! The A section seems like it can be sung fairly gently, but from the B section you’ll have trouble unless you plan your breaths.

Don’t sing everything at 100%; sing with the image of releasing your voice bit by bit, then let it all out on the high notes for good balance! Be sure not to miss even the briefest moments where you can catch a breath.

SWEET TWEETOfisharu Higedan Dism33rank/position

Official HIGE DANDism – SWEET TWEET [Official Video]

Released on April 22, 2015, this is one of their early love songs, written and composed by vocalist Satoshi Fujihara.

Centered on phone conversations with a lover, it affectionately portrays the voice itself as music.

From the very start it has a lively sound, and Fujihara’s high notes feel wonderfully free and expansive! It’s very pleasant to listen to, so let’s summarize some singing tips.

The overall vocal range is narrow and on the higher side, from C4 to D5.

First, use falsetto and get used to the sensation of resonance in your head.

Imagine gradually increasing the volume of that resonance.

Be mindful of vocal agility and add a bit more punch to your voice little by little.

As you get used to it, you should be able to grasp the feeling of producing high tones!

LaughterOfisharu Higedan Dism34rank/position

Official HIGE DANDism – Laughter [Official Video]

A piano-pop band Official HIGE DANDism’s song released in July 2020.

The vocalist Satoshi Fujihara has remarkable singing ability; his clear, soaring high notes are especially noteworthy.

Because of that, there may not be many people who can sing it in the original key, so be careful with the key settings when you sing it at karaoke.

The melody itself is very catchy and easy to remember, so as long as you don’t make a mistake with the key, aiming for a high score at karaoke should be realistic.

Give it a try and good luck!

Official HIGE DANDism – Vintage [Official Video]

Vintage, a masterpiece by Official HIGE DANDism, stands out for its delicate sound and structure.

Rather than typical J-pop, this piece features instrumentation closer to pop rock.

That said, the rhythm is easy to catch, so you won’t feel the genre makes it hard to sing.

The song has a somewhat wide vocal range and uses a fair amount of falsetto, but it doesn’t require the kind of difficult low falsetto notes.

If you can hold pitch solidly in falsetto, the range shouldn’t be much of an issue.

If you want to sing it even better, try slightly blending an R-like articulation when vowels “a” and “e” appear.

This will bring you closer to a crisp, Western-influenced vocal tone like that of Satoshi Fujihara or Dai Hirai.

Darling.

It’s a track included on the 1st mini-album “Love and Peace Are Within You,” depicting the joy and heartbreak of love at the same time.

The overall vocal range is E3 to D5, with sustained high notes toward the latter half.

Since the A and B sections start in the lower register, be careful not to strain your throat from the very beginning.

Lifting your facial muscles naturally opens your throat.

If you feel the space opening in the back when you open your mouth, you’re on the right track! Keep that open feeling, send your breath steadily toward that space, and project your voice forward—this will let you produce sound easily without catching in your throat.

Tell Me BabyOfisharu Higedan Dism37rank/position

Official HIGE DANDism – Tell Me Baby [Official Video]

Known as one of their early signature numbers that rapidly boosted the band’s popularity.

Centered around Satoshi Fujiwara’s soulful vocals and piano, the track blends tension with a driving sense of speed.

The overall vocal range of “Tell Me Baby” spans only one octave, from C4 to C5.

The melody is rhythmical with rhymes, so if you sing while understanding the lyrics, you’ll naturally lock into the groove.

As your timing aligns with the rhythm, accents will emerge organically, making it very easy to sing—so it’s recommended to use your whole body expressively when performing!

Official HIGE DANDism – Pending Machine [Official Video]

This track from the August 2021 album “Editorial” humorously depicts the exhaustion of the internet age and modern people.

Vocalist Satoshi Fujihara wrote and composed it, and the lyrics are characterized by the rhyme-heavy style typical of HIGEDAN.

The vocal range isn’t too high, so many male singers should be able to sing it in the original key.

The rhythm is light, and the frequent rhymes make the words easy to articulate once you’ve memorized them—highly recommended! It’s best to sing lightly without forcing it.

Think of it like rapping while keeping your body grooving, and project your voice accordingly.

The transition from the chorus back into the verse feels great, so nailing the timing really makes it land perfectly!

voiced mark (dakuten)

A track from the album “Rejoice,” written and composed by vocalist Satoshi Fujiwara.

Its hallmark is the symbolic title “Dakuten,” which expresses human imperfection and contradiction.

It’s a song where Fujiwara’s signature high tones are absent, and he basically sings in a calm manner.

The melody and rhythm are simple, so it’s easy to remember as a song.

There are parts where he emphasizes the vowels and sings like a sigh, so imitating that when you sing would work really well! You’ll use a lot of breath and might feel short of air, but that’s proof you’re using your breath correctly—once you get used to it, it becomes easy to sing!

Official HIGE DANDism – Line Up Before Love [Official Video]

Released on April 22, 2015, “Koi no Maenarai” is a representative early track.

It’s a refreshing pop-rock tune with both lightness and warmth, and its march-like rhythm makes it very easy to get into! In their early days, HIGE DAN didn’t stack tons of high notes, and the keys are set in a range that’s relatively singable for the average male vocalist.

If you like HIGE DAN but feel their songs are too high to sing, definitely start with their early work.

There are plenty of songs that feel distinctly HIGE DAN without requiring soaring high notes! That said, there are still some higher parts, so it might help to sing with your facial muscles lifted and imagine resonating in your head throughout.
