Sure thing / Kocchino Kento MV

If you sing it while copying the dance with your friends, it’s even more fun!

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!
