Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki

One of Masaki Suda’s signature songs—he’s not only an actor but also actively involved in music.

The vocal range is a little over one octave, and the key is comfortable for an average male voice, so it’s recommended for many men! It’s also somewhat up-tempo, so you might need a bit of practice with the rhythm, but the melody isn’t very complex, so after a few runs you should be able to sing it right away.

As a signature track by a popular singer of the same generation, it’s a choice you can’t go wrong with.

For anyone in their twenties, this is an absolute classic among anime songs from that era—one you can’t help but react to! If you watched the anime Digimon Adventure, for which this was the theme song, you can probably still hum along without looking at the lyrics.

It’s such a popular track that it’s guaranteed to hype up a karaoke session with people of the same generation.

Just note that the chorus has a few parts that use falsetto, so it’s a good idea to practice those beforehand to avoid going off-pitch.

Other than that, just keep up with the tempo and sing with energy and fun—then you’re all set!
