Kiroro "Winter Song" Official Music Video

Winter Song by Kiroro

Kiroro is a popular duo beloved by many listeners for their straightforward vocals and musical style.

When it comes to their winter-themed works, many people likely think of “Fuyu no Uta.” This song is also very easy to sing.

Kiroro’s songs generally have easy-to-follow rhythms and don’t require advanced vocal techniques like ad-libs or shouts.

This track is the same in that it doesn’t call for such techniques, and the vibrato is used sparingly as well, making it very approachable even for those who aren’t confident in their singing ability.

The key is a bit high, but since there isn’t much pitch movement, it should be easy to sing for those who can reach higher notes.

If you can recreate the breathy vocal tone in the A-melody, it will sound even more polished!
