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.
