Sabrinaieiri reo12rank/position

Leo Ieiri - “Sabrina” (Full Ver.)

This is the debut single by Leo Ieiri, a female singer-songwriter from Fukuoka, which was chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime Toriko and became a long-running hit.

The melody has a touch of melancholy, and the somewhat nostalgic arrangement is catchy.

Since the overall key is low and the melody is relaxed, it’s also recommended for beginner vocalists.

However, there are many pitfalls that can cause you to go off pitch—such as sudden appearances of falsetto and abrupt drops from high notes to low—so be careful and stay focused all the way to the end.

Leo Ieiri – “Pain” Music Video

A female singer-songwriter who grew up surrounded by music from an early age, Leo Ieiri has become a solitary presence thanks to a unique expressive style and worldview shaped by her complex family background.

This is her digital single.

The solid, back-to-basics band sound and lyrics that convey a firm resolve to move forward are striking.

The powerful, fast-paced melody, paired with a cynical message, gives you a push on the back—a sense of real momentum.

It’s an aggressive rock tune that’s also perfect for karaoke when you’re feeling stressed.

Leo Ieiri – Silly

Singer-songwriter Leo Ieiri.

Among her songs, the one I’d recommend to people who aren’t confident in their singing is “Silly.” That’s because, even though many of her songs—ballads included—often have intense sections, this track maintains a gentle, calm atmosphere throughout.

One distinctive feature, however, is her breathy articulation.

If you want to really master this song, try to be mindful of that.

Especially in the chorus, using this vocal approach will make it sound better.
