The song was created as the theme for Fuji TV’s Wednesday 10 p.m.

drama “Kokoro ga Pokitto ne,” marking Hoshino’s first theme song for a serial drama.

It has that stylish Gen Hoshino feel, and there are parts that can be a bit tricky to sing, so if you’re aiming for a high score, try practicing after you’ve memorized where the melody and lyrics break.

It’s a good idea to keep your singing light to maintain the song’s breezy groove!

If I could become a constellationkessoku bando49rank/position

[Lyric Video] Kessoku Band “If We Could Become Constellations” / In-episode song from TV anime “Bocchi the Rock!” Episode 12

Kessoku Band’s most famous song, “If We Could Become a Constellation.” The melody isn’t difficult and the rhythm is calm, so many of my vocal training students chose to sing it.

Actually, JOYSOUND staff are doing something called the “95-Point Challenge” with this song, so with practice you might be able to boost your score quite a bit! The overall vocal range is G3–C#5.

The chorus hits C5 repeatedly, so some people might feel it’s “high,” but the melody has momentum, so if you focus on accents, you’ll be fine! First, listen carefully to identify which parts are the high notes.

Take the spots where you think, “Maybe here?” and turn them into accents by riding the rhythm with some drive.

The key point is to project your voice forward! Start with sectional practice so you can produce sound comfortably, and do your best!
