Yuri “Dry Flower” Official Music Video - Director’s Cut ver. -

This ballad overlays feelings that don’t fade even after a breakup with the image of flowers that remain beautiful even when they wither.

Known as one of Yuuri’s signature songs, it is depicted as the after-story to the male-perspective heartbreak song “Kakurenbo.” The wavering emotions of a woman who tries—and fails—to grow to dislike her former partner press upon the heart along with the poignant melody.

Released for streaming in October 2020, it achieved the remarkable milestone of surpassing 1 billion domestic streams in July 2024.

It will be there for you on nights when memories of someone you loved make your chest tighten, or when you just need to have a good cry.

sumika / Lovers【Music Video】

One of sumika’s signature songs, it’s a big crowd-pleaser at live shows and perfect for everyone to sing along! The overall vocal range is F3 to C#5, and it modulates up for the last chorus.

Since it has a fresh, upbeat feel, keeping a bright tone will help you hit the high notes and make it to the end comfortably.

Because it’s a band sound, be sure to listen closely to the drums and lock into the groove.

Also, sounds in the “na” row can be harder to articulate because they tend to be nasal.

Since every hook starts with “ne,” try bringing your energy up more than you think—you’ll project better and find it easier to sing!
