Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

Everyone has probably heard the word “ganaru” at least once.

However, many people may only think of it as meaning “to shout loudly.”

In reality, “ganaru” refers to delivering a shout (vocal growl/rasp) in singing.

There are many kinds of shouts, and how they sound can vary greatly depending on the artist.

This time, we’ve picked out superb works that let you savor the appeal of “ganari”/“shout” vocals.

We’re also featuring the latest tracks, so be sure to check them out.

In conclusion

This time we introduced songs featuring distinctive “growls,” but as we’ve seen, there are many different kinds of them.

Because growls and shouts vary greatly depending on the artist’s vocal timbre, if you like this kind of loud vocal style, why not check out Western hard rock and metal as well?
