Yama’s song “us” doesn’t have many high notes, so there aren’t any parts where you need to belt; overall it’s sung in a whispery style, making it very easy to sing throughout.

The general range is G#3–C#5, and the verses (A-melody to B-melody) are on the lower side, which suits lower voices well.

The chorus does include some higher notes around C5, but if you sing them lightly with a falsetto-like tone rather than belting, it’ll be easier to sing without strain and will fit the song’s atmosphere perfectly.

Try delivering it gently and smoothly!

Produced as part of NTT Docomo’s “Graduation of Hope” project, it was released in February 2024.
