SCANDAL is a girls’ rock band that gained immense popularity in the late 2000s.

Even now, as a representative girls’ rock band, they continue to churn out hit numbers from time to time.

Among their songs, “DOLL” is likely a deeply nostalgic track for women in their 30s.

This piece covers a relatively narrow vocal range of mid1 G# to hi D, and its vocal lines have gentle rises and falls, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

For women in their 30s, the most popular idol group would have to be Morning Musume, wouldn’t it? Produced by Tsunku, they’ve created many hit numbers despite their eccentric musical style.

Among Morning Musume’s songs, Happy Summer Wedding is especially recommended.

It’s a fast-tempo piece with a wide vocal range, partly because it includes phrases close to scat singing.

However, the basic vocal line doesn’t require an especially wide range, so as long as you choose which parts to sing carefully, it’s relatively easy to perform.

Many of you may remember singing this song with classmates and friends during your school days.

If you sing it at karaoke, it will likely bring back nostalgic memories and fill you with warmth.
