Janne Da Arc – Gekkouka (Moonlight Flower)

It features a bittersweet melody and dramatic lyrics.

Janne Da Arc is famous for their wide and high vocal range, so this song is recommended for those confident with high notes.

In fact, the range of Gekkouka is D#3 to B4, and the chorus is indeed on the higher side.

To aim for a high score in karaoke, the key points are to stabilize the high notes in the chorus and convey emotion through dynamics.

There are also sections with long sustained notes, so you’ll need to pay attention to the pitch bar and hold them properly.

Be careful not to strain on the high notes—aim for an easy, resonant chesty sound!
