Songs that make it easy to practice vibrato / recommended for those who want to practice (21–30)
The Beginningayaka
Because it’s a ballad with many long sustained notes and was used as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “Sukkiri!!,” it’s highly recommended as a vibrato practice piece.
The overall vocal range of the song is F#3 to F5, and the chorus gets quite high, so it’s good to sing as if you’re using your breath generously.
Ayaka’s singing style is known for its “naturally occurring vibrato,” and if you make the oscillation too wide it can start to sound like enka, so aim to let just the tail end of the notes shimmer.
The A melody sits in the lower register and is very easy to give a light vibrato.
If you sing as though you’re pushing your breath forward, your voice will gently waver and a light vibrato will appear.
Give it a try!
All of the Youthsuis from Yorushika
One of today’s most prominent music units is Yorushika.
Suis is the vocalist of Yorushika and is also active as a solo artist.
Among Suis’s songs, the one I especially recommend for practicing vibrato is “Wakamono no Subete.” It’s a cover of a famous song by Fujifabric, and this rendition has a very relaxed rhythm and a succession of gentle long tones, making it perfect for continuous vibrato practice.
Recommended Songs for Those Who Find Vibrato Easy or Want to Practice (31–40)
SubtitleOfisharu Higedan Dism
This is the eighth digital single by the Japanese piano pop band Official HIGE DANDism, released in October 2022.
It was reportedly written as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama series “silent.” In the chorus and the D section, the vocal melody makes extensive use of sustained long tones, offering many useful examples of vibrato technique on high, projected long notes.
If you’re aiming to master vibrato, be sure to focus on those aspects and study them closely.
Of course, it’s absolutely a no-go to tighten your throat when producing high notes!
New EraAdo
It’s Ado’s 10th digital single, released in June 2021, and it was chosen as the theme song for the anime film ONE PIECE FILM RED.
From the very beginning—which starts right at the chorus—Ado delivers vocals featuring a slowly undulating vibrato, and just studying and practicing this section alone could be extremely helpful for mastering vibrato.
The song is filled with various vibrato-based vocal expressions throughout, so be sure to study it closely.
Zankyo SankaAimer
Released on January 12, 2022 as a single by Aimer.
It also serves as the ending theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Entertainment District Arc.
The song is uptempo, so it can be a bit hard to tell where vibrato is used, but if you listen closely to the high notes in the chorus that are sung in falsetto, you’ll notice the vibrato is employed very effectively.
To recreate this in karaoke and the like, the first requirement is to have a solid falsetto technique.
Give it a try and do your best!
Midnight Door ~ Stay With MeMatsubara Miki
As one of the quintessential city pop works, the song “Mayonaka no Door — Stay With Me” is popular not only in Japan but around the world.
Considered a classic of city pop, it’s characterized by its flowing vocal lines.
Because of these smooth, continuous lines, there are naturally many long notes.
While many recent songs end notes abruptly, this track doesn’t, making it perfect for practicing vibrato.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
Until the World EndsWANDS
This was WANDS’ eighth single, released in June 1994.
It served as the second ending theme for the TV Asahi anime “SLAM DUNK.” As a song from the 1990s—when major Japanese labels were highly conscious of the karaoke market—it’s very easy for anyone to sing and is a great pick for karaoke.
Focusing on the theme of this article, vibrato, the song features a medium tempo and an extremely memorable melody, with frequent, clearly audible vibrato that continuously varies pitch, especially in the pre-chorus and chorus sections.
It’s an ideal practice/reference piece for beginners learning vibrato.
Listen closely and study it.
