Yuri’s Popular Song Rankings: Hit Songs, Masterpieces, and Latest [2026] (1–10)
Dried flowersYuuri1rank/position
When I was working as a vocal coach, the song my students sang the most was Yuuri’s “Dry Flower.” What’s more, an overwhelming number chose it for their trial lessons, and it was popular with both men and women.
The song itself builds toward the chorus, and since falsetto is used in the chorus, it can feel a bit high for male singers.
Still, because it’s a “song everyone knows,” many people say, “I just want to be able to sing it at karaoke for now!” The key tip for singing it is to “build intensity with each melody line.” Create a sense of vocal distance and aim “a little farther” with each phrase—this adds momentum and makes high notes easier to hit.
