younger boykyandīzu

Candies, an idol group that left behind many classic hits.

Known for their catchy songs, they have many pieces that are easy to sing.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Toshishita no Otokonoko” (Boy Younger Than Me).

While it sometimes features a slightly jazzy arrangement, most of the vocal entrances are on the beat, so it’s easy to grasp the rhythm.

The vocal range is narrow, making it easy to sing; however, be careful with the “shi” sound in the “to-shi-shi-ta” part near the end of the chorus, as it can be a bit difficult to pronounce.

If you keep practicing by holding a disposable chopstick in your mouth and projecting your voice broadly, your pronunciation of “i” and “shi” will become stronger—give it a try.
