Shadows of SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Summer Shadow” Official Music Video

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s “Natsu no Kage” is popular across generations and has a calm, slightly bittersweet vibe.

It’s the kind of song you’d want to listen to through your earphones on the way home with friends.

Since the range is B2 to A4 and not too wide, those trademark ultra-high notes from Mrs.

GREEN APPLE barely appear.

It may feel a bit low for women, but it’s a relaxing number to sing.

The key points when singing are, of course, the low notes and the switch into falsetto.

The melody starts mostly in the low range and might be hard to produce, but try singing like Omori-san: raise your eyebrows and imagine sending a lot of breath forward toward your eyebrows.

When switching from chest voice to falsetto, you’ll want to keep the resonance in the same place.

Similarly, use plenty of breath and aim to resonate around your eyebrows and head—sing gently and softly with a floating feel, and the transition will be smoother.

Keep that in mind!

I want to become a ghost.Yuika

I Want to Become a Ghost / “Yuika” [MV]

This is the opening theme song for the TV anime “Wataru-kun’s XX Is on the Verge of Collapse,” which began airing in July 2025.

It’s especially popular among students, and some of my students who like Yuika have been singing it too! When I listened to the song, my impression was that the rhythm in the chorus is tricky.

If you try to sing before memorizing the melody, you might not know where to break phrases or where to breathe.

If you hum along while listening, you can memorize the melody, and once you can hum it lightly, you’ll be able to relax and sing more easily.

The chorus uses the same melody with only slight changes to the lyrics, so once you get past that part, it should be easier to sing.

Also, if breathing is difficult, don’t try to sing everything at 100%; try easing your voice in little by little.

When you hit a spot where you can think, “I can breathe here!” take a deep breath!

Me, looking my best—I’m unstoppable! (feat. Yurinya)Pretty Chuu

Me, looking my best—I'm unstoppable! (feat. Yurinya)

As the title suggests, it’s a positive song with lyrics that boost your self-esteem and help you love yourself! The range is comfortable, so even karaoke beginners can sing it with confidence, and it’s easy to get hyped at karaoke—singing with friends will make it even more fun.

When you sing, the chorus starts on A#4, so don’t push your voice; imagine singing lightly with a smile, which makes it easier to catch the groove and keep it sounding cute.

It might be best to sing as if you’ve actually become an idol! That way your facial muscles stay lifted, which prevents a throaty sound and lets you sing comfortably and pleasantly.

Also, waving your hand side to side like at a live concert helps you lock into the rhythm, so I recommend it!

Orihime and BABY feat. Shio Leilaneguse.

Bedhead: 'Orihime and BABY feat. Reira Shio' Official Music Video

This is Neguse’s first duet, a bittersweet song that overlays the Tanabata tale of Orihime and Hikoboshi onto modern romance.

With a range of G#3 to D#5, it’s an easy key for a male-female duet, and it’s also great for two women to trade lines—highly recommended! It’s a heart-fluttering song to sing with someone you like.

In Reira Shio’s female part, the low notes are key.

Lower tones tend to get stuck in the throat and sound muffled, so make sure to let them resonate.

Try raising your eyebrows, take more air than you think you need, and sing as if you’re releasing the voice slowly right in front of your eyebrows.

That way, the resonance shifts from the throat to the head, making it easier to hear yourself and sing comfortably.

In general, when you sing, it helps to focus less on “producing sound” and more on “resonating through the body,” so keep that in mind!

To you who didn’t choose meKoresawa

Koresawa “To You Who Didn’t Choose Me” [Music Video]

It’s an energetic, fast-paced band sound.

It’s a breakup song, but it’s not heavy—lyrics that teenage girls can relate to! It’s the kind of track that friends listening along can relate to as well.

The overall range is G#3 to D#5, so it’s comfortably singable.

Singing with a teary tone like Koresawa can capture the vibe, but it might make you sound nasal and harder to sing, so it’s best to use the voice that feels most natural for you.

From the A melody to the B melody, there isn’t much pitch movement and the rhythm is relatively simple, making it approachable even for beginners.

At the start, use a bit more breath and release your voice gently to keep it stable.

Also, the key point for the high notes is switching from chest voice to head voice.

Maintain steady breath support so you can transition smoothly.

Try singing lightly so your throat doesn’t tense up!
