SEKAI NO OWARI “Highest Altitude” ONE PIECE Lyric MV

SEKAI NO OWARI’s classic song “Saikō Tōtatsuten” (“Highest Point”).

This track was used as the opening theme for the hugely popular anime ONE PIECE, which is also beloved by elementary school students.

While SEKAI NO OWARI often tends to have high-pitched melodies, this song is contained within a very narrow vocal range of mid1F to mid2F#.

Even elementary schoolers, whose voices can be unstable due to voice change, should generally be able to sing it without issues.

Boys who have already undergone voice change can sing it in the original key; otherwise—and for most girls in elementary school—it’s best to lower the key for adjustment.

Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s songs are characterized by their refreshing sound.

This track not only carries that freshness but also delivers a very cool finish! It drew attention with a music video starring a wolf—often cast as the villain in fairy tales—as the main character.

The lyrics depict a protagonist who lacks self-confidence striving for someone important to them.

Many people may feel that even when they want to do something for someone, their lack of confidence keeps them from even speaking up.

In times like that, this song will give you courage.

Released in April 2020, it was also featured in a commercial for Dariya’s “Palty Coloring Milk.” You’ll get to experience the joy of sharing a performance with your friends.
