celeryYamazaki Masayoshi
Masayoshi Yamazaki’s classic song “Celery.” Since it was a long-running hit from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, I think most men in their 40s will know it.
Because of its pleasant groove, this piece tends to be perceived as difficult, but apart from the rhythm, there’s nothing particularly hard about it.
In fact, even the song’s rhythm isn’t that difficult; it’s really the density of the lyrics—in other words, the flow—that’s complex.
If you’re used to performing rap and the like, you should be able to clear this part without much trouble.
The vocal range is narrow, so it’s also recommended for those who can’t hit high notes.
