Make-up ShadowYorushika

Make-up Shadow

The cover song “Make-up Shadow,” included on Inoue Yosui Tribute, produced to commemorate Yosui Inoue’s 50th debut anniversary.

The ensemble, which dresses this timeless classic in a contemporary sound, further accentuates the power inherent in the song itself.

With its generally low key, narrow range, and a melody that is simple and relaxed, it should be easy to sing.

It’s also recommended for karaoke with people from the generation that likely listened to the original in real time, so definitely give it a try.

AmyYorushika

Amy

It starts with intermittent guitar and vocals.

From that intro you might expect a subdued track, but Yorushika never goes the predictable route.

Partway through, the piano and other instruments jump in, along with the chorus, leading to an explosive hook.

It’s a song that ends up brimming with pure joy.

ChinokateYorushika

Yorushika – Chinokate (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Chinokate is the 13th digital-only single, written as the theme song for the TV drama Renovation Like Magic and inspired by The Fruits of the Earth by French novelist André Gide.

It’s a breezy pop tune whose memorable sound and choral work create a distinctive sonic world.

The relaxed melody and relatively narrow vocal range make it a good pick even for those who aren’t confident singers.

However, because the melody and ensemble are quite tight, take care not to fall behind the rhythm when singing it at karaoke.

TelepathYorushika

Yorushika – Telepath (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Telepath is the 12th digital-only single, written as the opening theme for the TV anime Kaina of the Great Snow Sea.

It’s a memorable number featuring an ensemble built around a catchy piano melody.

While the vocal range is fairly wide, the key sits relatively low for a Yorushika song overall, making it easier to sing at karaoke.

The melody flows at a relaxed pace, but be careful: if you don’t pay attention to the bouncy feel of the shuffle beat, you won’t capture the original vibe.

BremenYorushika

Yorushika – Bremen (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

“Bremen” is the 11th digital-only single, released in July 2022.

It reached No.

8 on Billboard’s download chart.

The song is inspired by the Brothers Grimm tale “The Town Musicians of Bremen,” and the lyrics feature many words related to rhythm and ensemble.

The tempo is a comfortable mid-tempo—neither too fast nor too slow—making it easy to groove to.

With many refrains that repeat similar phrases, the melody line is easy to remember and sing.

Yorushika Medley
