LOVE LOVE LOVENEW!DREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE – LOVE LOVE LOVE (from THE DREAM QUEST TOUR 2017 Live Ver.)

LOVE LOVE LOVE, a famous song by DREAMS COME TRUE released in 1995.

If you’re a woman in your 40s, you’ve probably heard it at least once.

The song’s vocal range is mid1 F# to hi C#, which is relatively narrow for a DCT track.

The tempo is very relaxed, and the melodic movement is gentle, so as long as you’ve memorized the vocal line well, you’re unlikely to go off pitch.

However, because the slow tempo leads to more long notes, it’s advisable to master diaphragmatic breathing to maintain stable vocal production.

Don't disappear.Aina the End

AiNA THE END (BiSH) / Don't Disappear [OFFiCiAL ViDEO]

A ballad that begins with quiet piano notes and unfolds into a grand sound as emotions overflow.

This work marks the origin of Aina The End’s solo career.

She wrote both the lyrics and music, pouring in the earnest feelings she held at eighteen—the desperate wish not to lose someone precious.

The sense of loss—like a world drained of color without you—comes through painfully through her one-of-a-kind husky voice.

On nights when inescapable loneliness strikes, this singing will be there to help you.

wedgeHanako Oku

Kusabi (Wedge) by Hanako Oku

A signature ballad by Hanako Oku that depicts undying feelings for someone you can’t forget.

The delicate piano tones express the unfillable hollow and sense of loss after parting from a lover.

Hanako Oku’s crystal-clear voice gently sinks into the heart, doesn’t it? Sung since her indie days, this piece was released as a 10th-anniversary single in July 2015 and is also included on the album Prism.

Despite having no tie-ins, it resonated online and became a hidden gem, amassing a total of 15 million video views.

It’s a heartbreak song, but perfect for creating a moving, mellow atmosphere.

With few key changes and easy emotional delivery, why not choose it as a song to touch the heart of someone you care about?

This medium-tempo ballad by SARD UNDERGROUND breathes new life into previously unreleased words left by Izumi Sakai of ZARD.

The song carefully portrays the delicate process of how our relationships with loved ones—and our own hearts—slowly change.

Many listeners will likely see themselves in the earnest protagonist, who refuses to rush yet steadily strives to move forward.

Vocalist Yua Jinno’s clear, pure voice gently wraps around that single-minded sincerity.

Released in February 2020, the track served as an ending theme for the anime Detective Conan and has been cherished by many fans.

On nights when your heart feels unsteady, listening to it may leave you with a warm feeling, as if someone is softly giving you a push from behind.

Aimer “Eclipse (Monster Siren Records - MSR)” Music Video (Game “Arknights” 6th Anniversary Theme Song)

Aimer’s “Eclipse” has lots of breathy elements and isn’t a song where you belt, so I think it’s relatively easy to sing! Like the other artists I’ve introduced so far, Aimer is also an artist whose low register is really captivating.

Compared to her signature song “Zankyosanka,” this one has fewer high notes, making the pitch easier to catch, and the song’s structure builds up gradually rather than suddenly jumping high.

The rhythm doesn’t have any particularly difficult parts either, so if you want to sing something gently and tenderly, how about “Eclipse”? Try singing softly without straining your throat!

Never endsUru

[Official] Uru “Never ends” Theme song for the TBS Friday drama “DOPE: Narcotics Control Division Special Investigations Unit”

“Never ends,” the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “DOPE: Narcotics Control Division Special Investigation Unit,” will be familiar to those watching the show.

The verse to pre-chorus range is set on the lower side, so try singing gently and carefully from the start without belting.

The high notes in the chorus go up to around D#5, but avoid forcing it—aim to deliver them cleanly in head voice like Uru.

There’s also a low note around C3 in the bridge, which may be low for many women, though lower-voiced female singers might find it manageable.

Sing gently without straining your throat.

filamentUru

[Official] Uru “Filament” – Theme song for the film “When You Cry Because It’s Delicious”

Uru’s “Filament” gives the impression that the opening pitch of each phrase starts low.

To avoid mismatching timing and pitch, it’s important to nail those openings cleanly.

If you start your voice just a touch earlier, the low notes will align more easily with the pitch bar.

Overall, it’s a breathy song in Uru’s style, but when aiming for a high score, either sing in the voice that’s easiest for you and lock in the pitch firmly, or if you want to sing in Uru’s style, keep the image of starting your voice slightly early to help match the pitch bar.

For the chorus, singing gently with a falsetto base should also make it easier to hit 100 points!
