Alien AlienNayutan Seijin14rank/position

Nayutan Seijin – Alien Alien (ft. Hatsune Miku) OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

Cosmic, radio-like “Alien Alien.” The chorus melody undulates—rising and falling—but it doesn’t actually move in a complex way.

The lyrics are sparse and repeat the same phrases, so even first-timers should be able to memorize it quickly.

Since the range sits quite high, start by singing in head voice rather than chest voice and get used to it.

Head voice resonates in the brow area and greatly improves pitch accuracy! If you release your breath quickly, you can produce a strong head voice and sing with ease.

In the high parts of the chorus, don’t hesitate—let the voice out!
