SEKAI NO OWARI「RPG」

A song by SEKAI NO OWARI, the mixed-gender four-piece rock band known by the nickname “Sekai no Owari” (often shortened to “SekaOwa”).

The overall vocal range is F#3–D#5.

The high notes are sung in falsetto, so you don’t need to belt them.

The song has a vibe that shines with “drive × a dark worldview,” and it might be easy for male singers too! It’s popular in vocal training for all genders.

You don’t really need many vocal techniques for this one.

If you apply steady pressure and sing with a stronger delivery throughout, it’ll sound cool.

Since a bouncy rhythm appears in the chorus, it’s recommended to bring your hands in front of your chest and rotate them forward as you sing—this makes it easier to lock into the rhythm.

Make sure to nail the timing on those bouncy sections!

GReeeeN – Kiseki

Since its release in 2008, GReeeeN’s “Kiseki” has been loved as a staple coming-of-age song.

Its lyrics express the joy of miraculously meeting someone precious and the gratitude that follows.

Although it’s a ballad, the impassioned, pleading vocal style keeps the energy up without becoming too mellow.

Use the original track as a reference and sing with feeling.

Also note that there’s a rap section in the latter half; the rhythm there differs from the rest, so pay close attention.

Atarayo - Forgetting You, the Quiet One in October (Music Video)

It went viral on social media, and the YouTube views have surpassed 50 million.

Released on YouTube in November 2020, it’s the first original song by this four-member band.

It has an unusual structure that starts with spoken lines, making it easy to get emotionally engaged, and it seems like a song beginners can convey with that same momentum.

Although the song features a variety of melodies, none of them are particularly difficult, so you can simply enjoy the music while memorizing it.

Since the harmony parts are quite prominent in most of the melodies, try repeatedly listening to the main melody so you won’t get thrown off.
