YOASOBI "Idol" Official Music Video

It’s a song that was released for streaming in April 2023 as the opening theme of the anime “Oshi no Ko,” and it became a global hit.

Based on the novel “45510,” it features lyrics depicting an idol’s “light and shadow,” and a sound that fuses idol pop, rap, and religious-style choral elements.

It was also extremely popular in vocal training at the time! I recommend thinking of it as containing multiple songs within one track and clearing them one by one, which helps organize it in your head.

The range is quite high, so if chest voice is difficult, sing with a falsetto-like tone.

As long as your tempo and rhythm don’t slip, you’re good!

Monster’s Flower Song / Vaundy: MUSIC VIDEO

This is a song Vaundy created just before turning 20, and a signature track included on his first album “strobo,” released in May 2020.

With a brisk, exhilarating rock sound that conveys both the loneliness and strength of youth, it’s an extremely popular song that surpassed 100 million total streams and was performed at the 2022 NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s very easy to get into the groove—I performed it live myself and the crowd went wild.

The overall vocal range is wide and on the higher side at D3–D5, so keeping your eyebrows and facial muscles lifted throughout helps you produce sound smoothly without straining.

For the high notes, imagine projecting your voice far and sing out boldly—you’ll find it feels great.
