Butter-FlyKoji Wada

Butterfly Full Version-Digimon Adventure Opening

The anime Digimon Adventure, based on the game Digital Monster that gained popularity in the 1990s, is a rare long-running hit among anime works derived from toys and games, and it still enjoys a strong following today.

Butter-Fly is known as its theme song and continues to be loved by many fans, frequently ranking high in anime song charts at karaoke.

Although the song spans a wide range from mid1 C# to hi B, only some of the falsetto notes are high, and the chest voice stays within mid2 G#.

Therefore, as long as you can handle the falsetto parts, you likely won’t find the vocal range particularly challenging.

TAIDADAI wish it could stay midnight forever.
