The very long rests also make it easier to perform.

After all, I’m an idolKoizumi Kyoko7rank/position
As a pioneer of self-branding, idol Kyoko Koizumi stands out.
Her song “Nantettatte Idol” is her 17th single, and thanks to her self-branding it gained nationwide popularity.
It’s a very poppy, catchy piece.
The vocal range is slightly wide at mid1 G# to hi F, but most women should be able to sing it without issue.
However, the average pitch is high and there are many rapid-fire phrases, so take care there.
Since it’s a bright, upbeat track, it’s better to focus on timing at the start of phrases and on dynamics rather than strict pitch accuracy.
My Sweet HomeKoizumi Kyoko8rank/position
It was released in 1994 as Kyoko Koizumi’s 35th single.
Chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “Sweet Home,” it debuted at No.
4 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It’s a warm song that makes you want to go home.
