Songs that make it easy to practice vibrato / Recommended songs for those who want to practice

Do you ever think, “If only I could master vibrato, my singing would sound so much better…”? Vibrato—the technique of gently oscillating the voice—is an essential expressive tool that adds depth and emotion to a song.

However, not every song is suitable for practice.

In fact, songs that make it easier to produce vibrato share certain traits, and the right song choice can significantly speed up your progress.

In this article, we’ll introduce a wide range of songs with plenty of long tones that make applying vibrato easier, as well as numbers that are ideal for practice in terms of vocal range.

Find the one song that adds a new layer of expression to your voice!

Zankyo SankaAimer

Aimer「Zankyosanka」MUSIC VIDEO(Demon Slayer:Kimetsu no Yaiba Entertainment District Arc Theme Song)
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!

glass windowKing Gnu

A digital-only single by King Gnu, released in September 2023.

I believe this song has many aspects that will be highly informative for anyone practicing and studying vibrato technique.

Its structure features rich melodies and is centered around long sustained notes, making it ideal for practical vibrato training.

While the overall vocal difficulty is somewhat high, the sense of accomplishment you’ll feel once you master it is all the greater.

In addition, because it has a ballad-like feel and a relatively slow tempo, you can take your time and truly enjoy your vibrato.

Through this song, why not hone your vibrato skills and aim for a high score at karaoke? Mastering this one piece should significantly boost your musical expressiveness.

With patience and practice, cultivate a beautiful vibrato.

LiSA “Homura” -MUSIC CLIP-
flameLiSA

LiSA’s 20th single, released on October 14, 2020.

It’s the theme song for the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train.

Because it became a massive hit—often described as historic—most people have probably heard this track.

The tempo is relatively slow, and in the sections where the vocal melody sustains long notes, she sings with vibrato that traces a large pitch curve.

I think it’s an ideal song for practicing slow vibrato.

Listen closely to the original and give it a try in your practice.

budKobukuro

This is a song by Kobukuro written as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Tokyo Tower: Okan to Boku to, Tokidoki, Oton,” released in March 2007 as their 14th single.

It’s a gentle piece that makes you feel calm just by listening.

What further enhances the song’s inherent ‘kindness’ is the duo’s singing, masterfully employing vibrato technique.

Centered around the long sustained notes at the ends of phrases, they deliver vocals with beautiful, rich vibrato.

That said, the vibrato in this track isn’t particularly difficult, thanks to the slow tempo and the frequent use of long tones.

I think it’s an ideal song for practicing and studying vibrato technique, so I encourage readers to try it at karaoke and show off your lovely vibrato.

For bbysLANA

LANA is a songstress who represents the Reiwa era.

She’s a leading female singer in the R&B scene, occupying a position similar to Miliyah Kato’s back in the day, and she enjoys overwhelming support from gals nationwide.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “For bbys.” Because the vibrato isn’t the typical style common in Japanese music, it’s a bit more challenging than songs that make it easy to practice standard vibrato.

However, for those who want to work on Black music–style vibrato, it couldn’t be a more ideal practice track.

Deep downAimer

Aimer “Deep down” MUSIC VIDEO (TV Anime “Chainsaw Man” Ending Theme)
Deep downAimer

A track included on Aimer’s mini-album “deep down,” which was released in December 2022.

It serves as an ending theme for the TV anime Chainsaw Man.

Focusing on the vibrato technique, which is the theme of this article, Aimer’s singing employs both amplitude (volume) vibrato and pitch vibrato with great skill, which, in my view, enhances the reproduction of the slightly shadowy, lonely, and dark atmosphere of this song.

In a sense, it’s a model example of vibrato singing.

Please use it as a reference.

Anytime Anywheremilet

This is a digital-only single by milet, released in September 2023.

It was selected as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.

The song is a medium-tempo track that makes extensive use of long tones in the vocal melody, and it especially showcases milet’s very appealing vibrato in sections sung in falsetto, such as the chorus.

I think it’s one of the best songs to use as a reference for vibrato on long falsetto notes, so be sure to listen closely to the original and try singing it yourself.
