[Karaoke] A carefully selected introduction to easy-to-sing songs by sumika (1–10)
spring breezeNEW!sumika
Sumika’s signature refreshing and beautiful melodic lines and vocalist Kataoka’s gentle, clear voice bring happiness to listeners.
The lyrics convey both wistfulness and warmth, earning strong support from many fans! The song itself is a short 3 minutes and 13 seconds, so it’s an easy piece for sumika beginners to try.
In the latter half, there’s singing an octave lower, where the voice can get a bit muffled.
Try keeping your eyebrows raised and slowly let your voice out as if releasing a bundle of breath right in front of you to get used to it.
Then, without changing your facial expression, project your voice boldly toward the distance!

Lyrics and composition were handled by vocalist Kenta Kataoka.
The song is used as the opening theme for the TV anime MIX, and as a sign of respect for Mitsuru Adachi, the original creator, words like “Touch” and “Mix,” which are titles of his works, are included in the lyrics.
One of my students has actually been practicing it in vocal training, and struggled with the overall articulation and the part in the C melody where the pitch rises.
If you sing it too plainly, it loses punch and your diction suffers.
Exaggerating the rhythm works just right—if you’re counting in 4/4, putting a strong accent on the first beat seems effective! If you can carry that into the C melody as well, you’ll build momentum and your chest voice will come out more easily.

sumika has a lot of tie-in songs, and “Unmei” is the opening theme for season 2 of the TV anime Delicious in Dungeon.
It’s poppy and catchy—perfect for getting the crowd going at karaoke.
The overall vocal range of the song is A#2–A4, crafted in a range typical of sumika.
It’s a band tune with a groove that gets your body moving, but partway through the rhythm shifts to the off-beat.
It might help to stay conscious of both the on-beat and off-beat.
If you keep time by nodding broadly with your upper body, you’ll likely be able to sing steadily without wobbling!

Featured on the album “Familia,” released in July 2017, it’s characterized by bittersweet yet warm lyrics and melodies that depict the misaligned feelings between a man and a woman and scenes where past and present intersect.
The song’s overall vocal range is C3–A#4, and it’s a refreshing mid-tempo band number.
The vocals start with the chorus, then move through verse A, verse B, and the chorus, with the bridge raising the range slightly.
The very last phrase is the key—if you can’t deliver it solidly, the song won’t end satisfyingly.
Be sure to clearly imagine the final note so you don’t suddenly push your voice.
It’s great if you can cut off right before the high note to take a breath! Then use that inhaled momentum for a quick, punchy attack.

Vocaloid producer 100-kai Oto handled the arrangement, giving it a fresh, rock-leaning sound among sumika’s songs.
It’s been well-received by fans as a track that shows a new side of sumika.
Since it has a brisk tempo, make sure to listen closely to the drums while learning the song.
It’s also a good idea to look over the lyrics together.
The melody line of the chorus doesn’t change, so once you learn it, it really sticks in your head.
Also, lightly let the head voice in the chorus float upward.
If you aim your falsetto thinly toward the head, you should be able to switch cleanly.
Don’t rely too much on taking the rhythm with your body—focus on your core and sing while firmly bracing your lower abdomen!
Spring, Summer, Autumn, WinterNEW!sumika
This song was included on the double A-side single “Fanfare/Shunkashuto,” released on August 29, 2018, and was written specifically as the main theme and an insert song for the animated film “I Want to Eat Your Pancreas.” It’s a moving ballad that captures the brilliance and bittersweetness of youth! The tempo is relaxed, making it easy to keep time, and the melody line is straightforward.
The overall vocal range spans E3 to D5; the verses (A and B sections) sit in the middle range, while the chorus jumps up sharply into the high range, so it might be better to learn them separately.
When singing high notes, your throat can sometimes tense and constrict, so it’s good to keep your facial muscles lifted and maintain a bright expression.
As for the voice itself, I recommend projecting it confidently out into the distance.

It’s included on the double A-side single “Negai / Higher Ground,” released on December 11, 2019, and was written as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama Ossan’s Love -in the sky-.
The overall vocal range of the song is A2–A4.
While there are high notes, you don’t need to belt them; using falsetto is fine.
The tempo isn’t too fast either, so it should be comfortable to sing.
For the low notes in the first verse, make sure to use plenty of breath and push the sound forward so it resonates without sounding muffled.
Since the melody gradually rises toward the chorus, keeping your facial muscles lifted and singing with a bright tone will help you switch into the higher register smoothly.
