Introducing popular J-pop songs that start with “Ta”!

Please use this as a reference, and if there’s a song you’d like to try singing, go for it!

Yorushika’s masterpiece “Taiyō” (“The Sun”).

Among Yorushika’s songs, this piece boasts one of the narrowest vocal ranges.

Typically, songs with a narrow range are sung in the mid register, but this one is sung mostly in the low register.

As a result, for many women it will feel like singing in their speaking voice.

Because of this, there’s very little strain on the throat, and the vocal line itself is simple with minimal contour, making it undeniably easy to sing.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
