Mrs. GREEN APPLE – Spring Melancholy

One of the most popular bands right now is Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

Among teenagers, there are probably a great many fans.

Speaking of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s signature, it’s their challenging high notes.

In “Shunshū” (Spring Melancholy), however, their hallmark high range is kept relatively restrained, making it easier to sing for teenage boys whose voices may be unstable due to voice changes.

The low falsetto in the pre-chorus (B section) is within a range that can be sung in chest voice, so rather than forcing yourself to match the original, we recommend singing it firmly in chest voice.
