Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Dance Hall” Official Music Video

A pop dance number by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

It became a hot topic thanks to its flashy music video where the members themselves show off their dance moves! The overall vocal range is A3 to F#5, and aside from the very last high note in the chorus, it’s a range most male singers can handle.

If you consciously keep your energy high, your facial muscles and eyebrows will naturally lift, making it easier to project your voice! The rhythm is distinctive—if you feel it with a bouncy swing or count it in double-time, you’ll likely find it easier to groove and sing along.

For the high notes at the end of the melody, don’t be afraid—charge in with momentum! Aim to let it all out and project your voice confidently!

Biting the second handzutto mayonaka de ii no ni.87rank/position

ZUTOMAYO - “Bite the Second Hand” Music Video (Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni. – Byoushin wo Kamu)

Zutomayo’s famous song “Byoushin wo Kamu” has super cool instrumentals in the back, and the vocal melody has an easy-to-follow build, so it’s a really cool song if you can sing it! I’ve worked on this song several times in vocal training lessons, and I found the rhythm surprisingly tricky.

In the A verse, the length of the held notes and the timing of when the melody comes in are difficult unless you’re really locking into the beat.

If you listen closely, it shouldn’t be a problem, so try singing along with the original track repeatedly.

Also, the high note in the chorus goes up to E5, so you really need to be conscious of accents or it won’t come out easily.

First, sing slowly and check which lyrics you’ll accent.

There are quite a few high notes throughout the chorus, so it’s good to keep those accents in mind all the way to the end.

Love’s Melody and Rainy SkiesAAA90rank/position

AAA / “Love Sound and Rainy Sky” Music Video

A co-ed performance group, AAA released this song as their 38th single in September 2013.

It’s also included on the album “Eighth Wonder.” The track won the Excellence Award at the 55th Japan Record Awards and was performed twice on the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen, becoming one of the group’s signature hits.

It portrays feelings that are hard to express honestly, yet a sincere desire to stay together forever—a slightly bittersweet love song that overlays a pining heart with the early autumn rainy sky.

The frustration of wanting to say “I love you” but not being able to take that step will resonate deeply, and the lyrics are sure to strike a chord with anyone in love.

With both male and female vocal parts, it’s also great for a karaoke duet!
