Mika Nakashima "ORION" Music Video

Released in November 2008, it became a big hit as an insert song for the drama “Ryusei no Kizuna.” The overall vocal range of the song is fairly wide, from G#3 to D#5, with the chorus’s peak being the highest note.

Mika Nakashima is known for her whispery, breathy tone, so there’s no need to belt.

Since the top note D#5 is quite high, use head voice and send a thin, upward-focused tone.

Imagining your voice being pulled up from above your head may help.

If you lift your eyebrows in time as well, it becomes easier to hit and adds to the vibe.

Once you get used to it, focus on expressiveness to boost your score.

It also helps to gradually increase your volume with each melodic phrase!
