Official HIGE DANDism – But It’s Love... [Official Video]

Official Hige Dandism is known for their bright ballads, and among them, the highly recommended track is “Ai Nandaga…”.

While they are known for having many unconventional songs alongside more orthodox pop, this piece is characterized by an especially straightforward, unadorned vocal line.

Although there are some high phrases, the overall range is dominated by higher notes, so it’s not an extremely wide vocal range.

For those with a decent upper register and pitch sense, it’s a song that shouldn’t be too difficult to aim for a high score with in karaoke.
