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!

Released in 2018 as a digital-only single and used as the theme song for the TV drama “Good-Bye,” “Bad For Me” features a commanding brass section and a lively beat that really lifts the energy.

B-Side Blues

The Departure of LoveOfisharu Higedan Dism53rank/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.

Amazing

A song by the four-piece piano-pop band Official HIGE DANDism, included as the B-side to their smash-hit single “Pretender.” Used as the opening theme for the travel variety show “#Kito-Kyun♡Traveler with T,” it features an arrangement that brings a rock sound to the forefront, delivering a different vibe from the A-side and really pumping up the energy.

It’s a rock tune that heightens the special feeling of a night drive and reaffirms Official HIGE DANDism’s broad expressive range.
