The Deodorizing Power SongNishikawa Takanori, Migeru, Shimatani Hitomi
Many of you have probably heard “Shoshū-Riki no Uta.” It’s the song used in the commercial for ST’s deodorizer, Shoshū-Riki.
The singers are Takanori Nishikawa, Miguel Guerreiro, and Hitomi Shimatani.
While the CM gives a strong comedic impression, listening to the full version reveals a more mellow, gentle atmosphere.
That contrast adds to its appeal.
Since the song is divided into three parts, try taking on the section that suits your vocal timbre.
Incorporating staging that mimics the commercial is also a fun option.

If you deliver a passionate performance at a party or event, it’s sure to bring the house down.
