“Kataomoi” has a distinctive rhythm and leans more toward “speaking” than “singing,” but this song was often sung by one of my voice-training students who wasn’t confident in singing and didn’t have a very wide range.

If you’re going to sing it, you’ll probably struggle with the rhythm first, so practice by listening to the song over and over.

Aside from the chorus, you don’t need to worry too much about pitch at the beginning.

If the rhythm doesn’t lock in first, it’ll feel off when you sing, so pay attention to where the phrases are cut and when each entry comes in, and maybe start with humming.

Humming will help you carry that same feeling into light singing, letting the sound resonate between your eyebrows without tension.

Once you’re used to it, keep that resonance in the brow area and shift into your singing voice.

If you can keep resonating in the same spot while you sing, you’ll capture a really nice vibe!

A lively track that gets everyone singing along.

As autumn comes around, I imagine many people feel like singing Mikazuki.

Released in 2006, it’s one of Ayaka’s signature love ballads.

The lyrics, centered on a long-distance relationship, overflow with a poignant loneliness that makes you yearn for someone.

Back then it was all about cell phones, but now with smartphones, even when you’re far apart, the distance can feel smaller—and sometimes the opposite is true.

When you can’t say things clearly face-to-face, this is a song that lets you pour your feelings into it.

I find women singing ballads incredibly captivating.

In 2019, it was also featured in a Kirin Beer commercial.

Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO21rank/position

SHISHAMO’s hit song “Ashita mo.” The key change in the chorus feels incredibly satisfying, and thanks to its exhilarating vibe, this J-rock number gained popularity nationwide.

The vocal range is standard, spanning mid1F# to hiC.

The highest note, hiC, appears frequently in the chorus, so it’s a song that requires a bit of stamina.

If it feels tough, try lowering the key.

If the lowest notes are hard to hit, you can alternatively shift them up to around mid1G#.

It’s a track that’s sure to hype up any J-rock fan, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
