RADWIMPS – Aloof [Official Music Video]

RADWIMPS wrote “Sokkenai” as the theme song for the dating reality show “Don’t Be Fooled by the Wolf-kun.” The song depicts the push and pull of romance and the emotional turbulence that unfolds on the show.

Its melody is simple, centered on piano.

This not only expresses emotional delicacy but also serves to highlight Yojiro Noda’s vocals.

As a result, singing it at karaoke should allow your voice to come through more clearly.

However, the vocal range is relatively narrow, so the overall difficulty shouldn’t be high.
