Kobukuro “Ryoubou”

Kobukuro’s 33rd single, released on July 7, 2021.

By the way, the title is pronounced “Ryōbō.” Since their debut, Kobukuro—a duo of Shunsuke Kuroda and Kentarō Kobuchi—has been highly praised for their harmony work, and that well-regarded harmonization is alive and well in this song, letting you enjoy beautifully crafted chorus parts.

Because they’re known for their choral work, some people might hesitate to try harmonizing this song at karaoke, but the chorus arrangement isn’t actually that complicated, so there’s nothing to fear! Definitely give it a try.

Just be careful not to make your vocals too edgy or forceful, as that could spoil the song’s charm.

Aim to sing as gently and softly as possible.
