TEARS ~Within Time…Ganaha Mina
Mina Ganaha is a female singer-songwriter from Amami Oshima, known for her smooth vocals and popular in the 2000s.
Among her works, a particular recommendation is “TEARS: In the Flow of Time.” While the melody is somewhat serious, the vocal range isn’t especially wide, and the pitch movement is gentle throughout, making for an easy-to-sing vocal line.
If you use your jaw a bit more and aim for a slightly more masculine singing style, you can get closer to the feel of the original, so give it a try for reference.
