Kobukuro – WINDING ROAD (Ayaka × Kobukuro)

Ayaka × Kobukuro’s memorable first single, released in February 2007, is a song that sings of life’s winding road and the hope that awaits beyond it.

Born from a collaboration sparked by a joint appearance on a music program, it was also featured in a Nissan Cube commercial and debuted at No.

2 on the Oricon weekly chart.

The grand choral work of the three vocalists and its message—encouraging listeners to keep moving forward step by step even through difficult times—are deeply moving.

It’s a perfect song to sing at year-end parties, reflecting on a year of hardships and challenges while channeling hope for the coming year.

If you have confident male and female singers, definitely try it as a duet: a powerful yet warm classic.

Kobukuro – Oh flowers now in full bloom

This is a song that was used as the theme for NHK’s Sochi Olympics in 2014.

Many of you are probably familiar with it.

Although it’s a song by Kobukuro, “Ima, Saki Hokoru Hanatachi yo” has a very clear vocal melody, making it easy to sing even solo.

As for how to feel the rhythm, taking it slowly and relaxed works well, but doubling the tempo also makes it easier to sing and is recommended.

The overall vocal range of the song is C3 to F#4, so most men should be able to sing it comfortably in chest voice.

Also, since it’s a ballad, creating contrast between the lower parts of the verses (A and B sections) and the lift in the chorus will enhance expressiveness and help boost your score.

Try to keep your facial muscles lifted so your pitch doesn’t drop while you sing!

Kobukuro “Graduation”

Kobukuro’s “Sotsugyo” is a fitting song to celebrate new beginnings and share courage.

It eases the anxiety that comes with life changes and transforms it into a feeling full of hope.
