When it comes to TOKIO, many people strongly associate them with rock-tinged, masculine songs.

“Hato wo Migaku-kkya Nai” is a track where you can enjoy that rugged TOKIO vocal style, but the band elements are still relatively light, and overall it comes together with an older, Showa-era idol-like melody.

As a result, the vocal range is fairly narrow throughout, and there are no sections that require complex pitch jumps.

It’s easy to sing regardless of your vocal tone, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
