Yokushitsu, with its striking guitar and piano sounds, appears on the second album Shōso Strip released in March 2000 and carries a decadent, immersive atmosphere.
Many people might sum up Shiina Ringo’s songs as “difficult,” but surprisingly, there are also tracks with a narrow range that are easy to sing.
The overall vocal range of Yokushitsu is A3–C5, which isn’t too high, so there shouldn’t be much to worry about in terms of range.
You can sing the A and B sections in a straightforward, subdued manner, but if you accent the beginning of the chorus, it will add contrast and instantly bring you closer to Ringo’s world.

Ringo Sheena, a singer-songwriter who has consistently led the scene with her one-of-a-kind musicality.

Its magnificent ensemble—where rock, marching elements, and brass sounds fuse beautifully—instantly lifts the listener’s spirits.
Moreover, the worldview imbued with taut tension and the pride of carrying Japan on one’s back, going beyond a mere celebration of victory, conveys Sheena’s uniquely sharp perspective.
It’s a passionate anthem that lights a fire in your heart when you feel like giving in.

In the late 1990s, Ringo Sheena brought a fresh breeze to the music scene.
This signature song of hers, written when she was just 17, depicts a bold and passionate love that seems far beyond her years.
Its unwavering devotion and gripping attachment to a lover are exquisitely expressed, showcasing a glimpse of Sheena’s remarkable talent.
Released in January 1999, the track was also featured as the ending theme for Yomiuri TV and Nippon TV’s “Downtown DX,” drawing significant attention.

A Long, Short FestivalShiina Ringo6rank/position
Singer-songwriter Ringo Sheena, who continues to captivate countless fans with her one-of-a-kind world, released this song on the single “Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri / Kamisama, Hotokesama” in August 2015.
Written specifically as the Coca-Cola 2015 summer campaign CM song, many of you likely heard it on TV and elsewhere.
It’s a duet with Ukigumo, the guitarist of Tokyo Jihen, and it’s crafted into a stylish dance tune infused with Latin and bossa nova elements.
The adult atmosphere—where the sultry heat of summer nights mingles with the poignancy of passing time—is irresistible.
It’s a number you’ll want to play while gazing up at fireworks or during a summer night drive.
Queen of KabukichoShiina Ringo7rank/position
Shiina Ringo’s iconic song “Queen of Kabukicho” stands out for its decadent atmosphere.
It’s a bluesy rock piece characterized by a relatively narrow vocal range throughout.
Most of the singing sits in the mid register, and even the highest parts stay in the lower-high range.
There’s a key change midway that raises the key by one semitone, so set the starting key to feel slightly low for you.
If you want to emulate Shiina Ringo’s style, try finding a key where you can use edge voice.
A slightly higher key makes producing edge voice easier, so give it a try.
Marunouchi SadisticShiina Ringo8rank/position
It’s a stylish, quirky sound with jazz and blues elements, isn’t it? In fact, one of my students who had a limited range and couldn’t hit very high notes practiced this song many times in vocal training.
The overall range isn’t wide and it’s sung mainly in the mid register, but there are a few higher spots in the chorus.
As long as you catch the rhythm and nail the timing there, you’ll be able to sing them smoothly! Since the song is all about rhythm, it’s important to mark the beats clearly—even a bit exaggerated.
If you move with the groove while singing, it helps you relax and keeps you from pushing your voice, so I really want you to lean into the cool vibe.
Also, you’ll probably notice this once you’re in the groove, but be sure to cut off the notes cleanly where needed and give space its due as you sing.
Excessive WealthShiina Ringo9rank/position
It’s a heart-wrenching number that makes you realize the invisible things that truly matter, moving you to tears.
The lyrics teach us that true value lies not in money or material wealth, but in the simple fact of being alive and in those irreplaceable presences—before you know it, your tears start to fall.
Shiina Ringo’s powerful vocals seep gently into the depths of your heart.
Released as a single in May 2009, it served as the theme song for the drama “Smile,” which portrayed a heavy reality and defined the show’s worldview.
It’s a masterpiece that quietly stays by your side when you feel lost or weighed down by loneliness.
carnationShiina Ringo10rank/position
This is a song written specifically as the theme for the NHK morning drama series “Carnation.” It’s a grand ballad featuring an orchestra of about 40 players, imbued with prayers for the strength of women, motherhood, and all living things.
You’ll likely find it far easier to sing than Ringo Sheena’s rock-oriented songs.
However, if the chorus doesn’t swell enough, the atmosphere can fall flat, so it’s recommended for those who want to sing out with full voice.
Throughout, make sure to lift your eyebrows and facial muscles firmly and maintain a resonant placement!
