Sunny dropNovelbright11rank/position

Novelbright – Sunny drop [Official Music Video]

A number known as a challenge piece for its wide range and continuous high notes.

The high leaps in the final chorus are especially an S‑tier difficulty point.

The overall vocal range spans roughly C#3 to F#5, which is quite wide, and you should pay particular attention to the switch into the high tones in the chorus.

Of course, if you just belt recklessly, you’ll wreck your throat, so be mindful of resonance placement and aim to let the highs come out comfortably.

In any range, keep the image of ringing the space behind your head, and as the pitch rises, increase your explosiveness.

Before singing, don’t forget to warm up with lip rolls, humming, and similar exercises!
