Naniwa Danshi – Join us! [Official Music Video] YouTube ver.

One of the tracks included on the sixth single “I Wish,” “Join us!” Despite being a B-side, it has enjoyed exceptional popularity, even receiving a music video.

It features the refreshing, bright melodies that are a hallmark of Naniwa Danshi.

The vocal range is mid1 E to mid2 G#, which is fairly narrow for a Naniwa Danshi song, so it should be easy for men to sing.

However, the chorus contains prolonged mid-to-high phrases, so be sure to choose a key that doesn’t strain your throat or temples.

Naniwa Danshi – NANIWA’n WAY [Official Music Video] YouTube ver.

Naniwa Danshi’s classic “NANIWA’n WAY,” beloved for its embracing lyrics, might initially seem to depict a love story, yet it also feels like a message from the group to their fans.

In contrast to its sweet, heartfelt themes, the melody is crafted to be poppy, bright, and refreshing.

The vocal range spans from mid1D to hiA; while that seems broad, the lowest note only appears in the first verse’s A section, so the practical range isn’t all that wide.
