Macaroni Empitsu “Lemon Pie” MV

With a tempo of 102, Macaroni Enpitsu’s “Lemon Pie” is characterized by being easy to catch the rhythm—not too fast and not too slow.

The overall vocal range of the song is D3 to A#3, which is relatively narrow for a male song.

The verses (A-melo to B-melo) are sung in a conversational style, so you don’t need to worry too much about precise pitch.

The beginning of the second verse is rap-like, and as long as your words lock into the rhythm there, it shouldn’t be a problem either.

If you keep humming the chorus over and over, you’ll likely find it very singable.

For the chorus, try practicing with humming.

The key is to hum lightly without engaging your throat too much.

Yorushika – Please Forget (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika’s masterpiece “Please Forget.” Yorushika excels at an ennui-tinged musical style, and this piece, in particular, is wrapped in an especially languid atmosphere.

The track makes effective use of contrasts between stillness and motion, and the overall composition settles into a quiet melody.

The vocal line is very calm as well, with a narrow range and plenty of rests, so there’s no need to worry about breathing.

As long as you keep a steady rhythm, it’s possible to aim for a high score, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
