Ms. Hanako on a high pedestalback number19rank/position
Among back number’s songs, the massive hit is “Takane no Hanako-san.” The overall vocal range spans E3 to D5, which is fairly wide, but the melody is clearly divided into sections with distinct ranges, making it easier to switch between parts while singing.
Also, the tempo is surprisingly fast, so it’s best to lean forward a bit and sing proactively so you don’t get left behind.
In particular, the latter half has many sections where you’re singing continuously, so the key is to use your body to keep a steady rhythm as you sing.
In the quieter chorus section in the middle, using a gentle tone will let your voice carry and make it easier to sing.
I’m a BelieverSPYAIR20rank/position
SPYAIR is a band that’s popular for their powerful rock sound.
They’re especially popular among people in their 20s and are constantly active on the front lines.
Among SPYAIR’s songs, the one I particularly recommend for teenage boys is I’m a Believer.
The melody has a classic rock feel, but the pitch movement isn’t too extreme, and the vocal range is relatively narrow for their work.
In an era with many falsetto-heavy songs, a track like this that can be sung comfortably in chest voice could be a reliable addition to the repertoire of teenage male singers.
