passing showerIshihara Junko
Ishihara Junko’s classic “Tooriame” is distinguished by its poignant melody.
While she’s known for an orthodox kobushi (melismatic ornament) style, this song features multiple kobushi turns that incorporate falsetto, reminiscent of rōkyoku.
Though such pieces may seem difficult, that’s not actually the case.
If you set the key so your voice flips naturally into falsetto at the right height, it can be easier to sing than standard kobushi.
Since the vocal line itself doesn’t have much contour, focusing on clean, natural flips in the kobushi can even help you aim for a high karaoke score.
