Hold on a second with that dress.back number
“Wait a Second, That Dress,” included on the first album At no Matsuri (Aftermath).
The lyrics, which depict the complexities of a man’s heart so vividly that you can imagine the story from the title alone, are likely to resonate with many men.
The upbeat rhythm feels comfortable for karaoke and the vocal range isn’t wide, but be careful not to fall behind since the melody moves a bit quickly.
It’s a pop tune that blends bittersweet yet somewhat comical lyrics with a friendly melody, and will likely be a hit—especially at karaoke sessions with an all-male crowd.
Empty Eyesbird
Bird is a cool singer with vocals that reflect influences from a wide range of music, including jazz and R&B.
Her artist name comes from her sleek voice and the fact that she originally had an Afro—like a bird’s nest.
Speaking of Afros, they’re practically synonymous with funk! So from the look alone it was clear she was a funk artist, and among bird’s songs, “Sora no Hitomi” is an especially funky track where her vocals are razor-sharp.
