A melody instead of a bouquetShimizu Shota3rank/position

Shota Shimizu 'A Melody Instead of a Bouquet' MV (Full Size)

Shota Shimizu’s signature song, “Hanataba no Kawari ni Melody o.” It’s a love ballad released on October 28, 2015, and served as the theme song for NHK’s Drama 10 “Designer Baby.” It’s hugely popular at karaoke; expressive emotion and delicate pitch control are the keys to a high score! The tempo is relaxed, so you have plenty of breath and can sing each phrase carefully, but if you pour in too much emotion, your pitch can actually waver.

So start by prioritizing accurate pitch and rhythm.

The vocal range is D#3 to C#5, which is a bit high for male singers.

How well you use falsetto and how you place the high notes in a comfortable spot will greatly affect how easy it feels to sing.

Some of my students strained by pushing chest voice too much on the high notes.

Make good use of falsetto!
