March 9Remioromen36rank/position

Remioromen – March 9

A classic that continues to be widely sung as a graduation and wedding song.

The overall vocal range is C3–G4, making it popular as an “easy-to-sing for men” track.

The tempo is relaxed, so you can take solid breaths and prepare while producing your voice comfortably.

Up to the chorus, the melody stays in the lower range, so trace the pitches carefully.

In the chorus the range rises, and if you’re not used to it, you might tense up.

Take a good breath on the beat before the chorus, then release it all at once!

“Neko,” the signature song by DISH//, written and composed by Aimyon.

The acoustic version performed on THE FIRST TAKE in 2020 became a huge hit and was also used as the theme song for TV Tokyo’s drama “Neko.” Lots of people used to sing it in vocal training, so it feels nostalgic.

When singing it in karaoke scoring mode, be careful not to put in too much emotion.

On the other hand, if you sing it too flat, your expressiveness will drop, so sing with a sense of contrast and accents.

Since the chorus is structured to build gradually, it might be good to approach it with the image of singing each phrase clearly!
