Vermillionsumika

sumika / Vermillion【Music Video】
Vermillionsumika

This is the title of the full album releasing on March 5, 2025, the first in two and a half years.

It’s a band-style track with a slightly faster tempo.

When singing this song, being mindful of accents will add definition and make it sound cool.

When marking the rhythm, think of exaggerating the drum sounds.

Also, for the accented parts, it seems fine to pronounce them more clearly than you think.

It’s consistently in duple meter, and it might be good to emphasize the first beat.

Try singing with a clenched-fist motion, like you’re shaking maracas.

one’s true feelingssumika

sumika / Honne [Music Video] *Theme song for the 99th All Japan High School Soccer Championship
one’s true feelingssumika

It was written as the cheer song for the 99th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament, and it’s a gentle, ballad-like piece that makes it easy to pour your emotions into.

Its hallmark is lyrics that convey gratitude and honest feelings, so it might be nice to sing while picturing someone who comes to mind for you.

The A and B verses sit in a relatively calm range, while the chorus has sections to sing more strongly, so be careful not to strain your voice.

Place a hand on your chest and sing while resonating there; that resonance will boost your projection.

Rather than simply getting louder, focus on resonance as you sing!

flaresumika

[Wedding] End Roll / sumika Flare
flaresumika

“Flare” is a must-hear song for fans that warmly portrays a relationship with a loved one—from everyday little moments to big promises for the future.

It’s also popular at weddings, as it’s a gentle ballad that sings of deep affection for a loved one and vows for the future.

At over five minutes—long for a sumika track—it’s a song with plenty to sink your teeth into vocally.

The melody line is straightforward, but it modulates in the final chorus and the key goes up.

If you build proper momentum before the key rises, your voice should come out smoothly and it’ll be easier to sing.

As the pitch gets higher, it helps to imagine sending your voice farther out into the distance.

libidosumika

sumika / Libido [Lyric Video]
libidosumika

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!

fatesumika

sumika / Fate [Music Video]
fatesumika

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!

Glittersumika

sumika / Glitter [Music Video] *TV Anime "A Couple of Cuckoos" 2nd Cour OP
Glittersumika

This song is captivating with a brilliance like a light cutting through the darkness and a buoyant sense of speed.

Released by sumika as a single in July 2022, it became familiar as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime A Couple of Cuckoos.

With lyrics and composition by Kenta Kataoka, the chorus melody opens up your field of vision all at once; just listening to it makes your heart race and urges your once-stalled steps forward.

It’s a track we especially want those to hear who want to confess their feelings on Valentine’s Day but can’t quite find the courage to take that final step.

Along with the chocolate in your hand, why not spark a glittering miracle of love?
