Like a white cloudNEW!saruganseki
Saru-ishi’s signature song “Shiroi Kumo no Yō ni” (“Like White Clouds”).
For men in their late 30s to 40s, it can be considered a very popular track.
Since this piece is by a comedy duo who aren’t professional singers, the vocal line is made to be very easy.
In fact, the range is mid1E to mid2D, which is quite narrow even among male songs.
You don’t need difficult techniques like ad-libs or falls, nor even basic techniques like vibrato or falsetto, so anyone can comfortably aim for a score of 90.
