Since then, it has been featured in NHK’s morning drama series “Dandan” and the premium drama “Last Night’s Curry, Tomorrow’s Bread,” further boosting the song’s recognition.

Island SongTHE BOOM48rank/position

THE BOOM “Shima Uta (Original Version)” Official Music Video

When it comes to karaoke repertoire, “Shima Uta” is a must, don’t you think? It incorporates elements of Okinawan music and has a poignant tone with themes of nature, prayer, and parting.

The overall range spans A#2 to A4, leaning wide on the low end, but if you manage your breath well, you can stay on pitch.

The melody is very simple, so it should be easy for anyone to sing.

When aiming for a high score, be careful not to slip during the section where the tempo speeds up at the end, and nail the finish.

For the low notes, focus on sending your breath forward slowly.

Let your body resonate and go for a top score!
