Many of aiko’s songs have a stylish feel, which can make them seem difficult to sing.

Her 12th single, “Chōchō Musubi,” released in 2003, is no exception.

It expresses a hidden affection for someone with whom she feels a mysterious connection, and its airy, fluttering melody—like a butterfly in flight—beautifully conveys the protagonist’s emotions.

Precisely because it’s so captivating, it can feel challenging to sing.

However, if you listen closely to the melody, you’ll find it’s actually very catchy, with many repeated phrases.

Songs with lots of repetition are easier to learn, so if you give it a try, you might find it surprisingly easy to sing!

“Kuchibiru” is quite easy to sing for people who are good at falsetto.

Released in 2012, it’s included on the album “Toki no Silhouette.” While Aiko often releases love songs, this one stands out among them for expressing an exceptionally realistic sense of love—a sweet yet heartrending track.

What enhances that poignancy is the clear, transparent falsetto.

Her relaxed, unforced vocals draw out feelings that are true to life.

It’s a song I recommend to those who struggle to hit high notes in chest voice but are confident with falsetto.

While the timing of the opening lines and the start of the chorus can be tricky, the rest is quite simple.

Once you get used to the timing, sing it with all your heart!
