You’re the Only… NEW! Masatoshi Ono

Masatoshi Ono is known in Japan as one of the top masters of high-tone vocals.

In addition to his falsetto, he is highly regarded for his mixed voice, and he’s famous for delivering solid sound pressure even at high pitches.

Speaking of Ono’s most challenging songs, “You’re the Only…” is probably at the top of the list.

This piece features an exceptionally wide range from mid1 G# to hi B, and it does not use falsetto.

In other words, because every high-tone phrase has to be sung in chest voice, it’s difficult to pull off unless you possess an unusually specialized vocal range to begin with.

Moreover, as a rock ballad, it also demands vocal power, making it a song of very high difficulty in every respect.
