Songs That Make It Easy to Do Vibrato / Recommended for Those Who Want to Practice (1–10)
for a long timeKiroro
This was Kiroro’s major-label debut single, released in January 1998.
It’s one of the great songs of the ’90s, with gentle vocals shining over a quiet, piano-centered and simple backing track.
Centered around the sustained notes in the vocal melody, the singing features a very natural, straightforward vibrato, making it an excellent piece to practice and reference for learning vibrato technique.
While vibrato singing can sometimes come off as overbearing or heavy-handed, Chiharu Tamashiro’s performance here conveys none of that—it’s completely natural, and it strongly enhances the song’s refreshing and tender character.
Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA
This is LiSA’s 15th single overall, released in July 2019.
It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, and, riding on the anime’s success, became a major hit.
Many of you have probably heard it.
Although it’s a very hard, heavy track, the vocal melody that flows over the intense backing lets you enjoy LiSA’s wonderfully diverse and beautiful vibrato technique.
This expressive use of vibrato is likely what makes the song so special.
When you practice, be sure to pay attention to the fine details—her breathing and how she finishes phrases.
MelodyTamaki Kōji
Koji Tamaki’s classic song “Melody.” Although it’s quite an old track now, it’s a timeless masterpiece loved by younger generations as well.
This piece is perfect for practicing vibrato.
There’s a falsetto part near the end of the chorus, but overall the vocal difficulty is low, and it features many long notes in each section, making it easy to add vibrato.
In addition to being great for vibrato practice, it also goes over well at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Songs That Make Vibrato Easier / Recommended Tracks for Those Who Want to Practice (11–20)
If you call it loveUru
Uru’s 12th single, released in June 2022.
It was chosen as the theme song for TBS’s Sunday drama “My Family.” It’s a very beautiful ballad, and it really drives home the point that vibrato technique shines best in slower ballads like this.
The chorus centers on long sustained notes, which also makes it easier to produce vibrato.
In the latter half of the chorus and the end of the D section, she showcases a variety of vibrato examples, making it an ideal piece for practicing vibrato.
I highly recommend using it with that purpose in mind as well.
homeKiyama Yusaku
This is Yusaku Kiyama’s debut single and one of his signature songs.
It’s a fine piece where you can enjoy Kiyama’s richly masculine vocals set against a gentle, symphonic ballad arrangement.
Focusing on vibrato—the theme of this article—you’ll notice he varies the application of vibrato in line with the backing arrangement, and it’s striking how much dynamic expression can be created through vibrato alone.
Produced almost as a model of vibrato in a male-vocal ballad, this outstanding track can even serve as a textbook for those aiming to master vibrato.
KanadeSukima Suichi
It was Sukima Switch’s second single, released on March 10, 2004.
It’s a very mellow ballad with a broad, relaxed vocal melody, so I think it could be an ideal piece for studying vibrato technique.
In particular, the way vibrato is applied and the way pitch is varied in the falsetto sections of the chorus make it great practice material for vibrato.
To reproduce this, you’ll also need to master smooth transitions in your vocal production, but by all means, give it a try in your practice!
Thank youikimonogakari
This is Ikimonogakari’s 18th single, released on May 5, 2010.
It was written as the theme song for the first half of the 2010 NHK morning drama series “Gegege no Nyobo.” It’s a ballad where you can fully enjoy vocalist Kiyoe Yoshioka’s sparkling voice, rich in high-order overtones, set against a symphonic arrangement.
Her singing tends to be on the straightforward side, and in this song she doesn’t seem to use much vibrato overall.
However, she does employ it solidly in places like the sustained notes in the chorus, making this an ideal track for anyone looking to learn vibrato.
Pay particular attention to the long, high notes in the chorus and study them closely.
