Voice of the SeaKiritani Kenta

"The Voice of the Sea" Full ver. / Urashima Taro (Kenta Kiritani) [Official]
Voice of the SeaKiritani Kenta

This was produced for the au “Santaro Series” commercial, with the concept of Urashima Taro singing while thinking of Otohime.

It’s a very popular song for karaoke, as the range makes it easy for men to sing.

Since Kenta Kiritani sings with falls mainly in the chorus, lightly adding them phrase by phrase might be just right.

The key with falls is not to overdo them; it’s best to drop the pitch gently as if mixing in a soft breath.

When you’re not used to it, exaggerating it at first to get the hang of it is, of course, a valid practice method! Try singing in a relaxed way.

electric shockYonezu Kenshi

It’s a fast-paced, jazz-tinged track released in 2020.

It was written specifically as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “MIU404.” The song is sung with a somewhat languid feel, and adding falls could give it an even more stylish vibe.

Since it’s basically a song you can sing in chest voice, letting the tone taper off at the ends of phrases or shifting from chest voice to breathy tones should naturally create falls.

A delivery that holds the pitch to create some tension and then gently drops at the very end also seems to suit the song well.

aiko - “Boyfriend” music video

It’s a love song with a bright, poppy melody and a driving sound that really gets the crowd going at karaoke.

For “Boyfriend,” the key practice point is the chorus.

The A and B sections often end with rising or clipped phrases, which makes it harder to add fills, but the chorus has many sustained notes, and if you finish phrases by lowering the pitch, you should be able to capture that distinctive aiko vibe.

The overall range is high, so be careful not to push too hard.

If you relax while holding out the final syllables, the tension will release and your breath will flow more naturally.

Robinsonsupittsu

Songs sung with a higher voice like Masamune Kusano of Spitz use a lot of breath, which makes them good practice for scoops and falls.

Robinson isn’t a song where the line endings are chopped off; it’s sung so the sound lingers softly.

Because of that, it’s easier to slide the pitch down smoothly like a fall.

When men sing it, the range is very high, so be careful not to belt.

Falsetto is fine—use plenty of breath and try singing in a way that releases tension at the ends of phrases.

Following “Boku Note,” this is the third single released in 2006—a medium-tempo ballad distinguished by lyrics that liken the indescribable tenderness and the ache of love to indigo-hued scenes.

Takuya Ohashi’s distinctive vocals also feel rich with falls.

Overall, his voice carries a poignant tone, often leaning on strong falsetto, giving a strong sense of dynamic contrast.

If you focus on pitch and sing so the sound “fades away” rather than being “spat out,” your delivery will naturally loosen and the falls will come through, I think.

Thanks.DREAMS COME TRUE

It’s a ballad known for its bittersweet yet warm lyrics that encourage a heartbroken friend, and for portraying friendship against an urban backdrop.

Among DREAMS COME TRUE’s songs, the vocal range isn’t excessively high, so many people may find it relatively easy to sing.

From the very beginning, if you deliberately drop the pitch at the ends of phrases, or consciously sustain notes and then relax at the very end, there are many spots where you can create a fall.

If you cut off the phrase endings, it won’t become a fall, so the key is to leave the tail of the note hanging.

Try guiding with your hand and letting the breath flow as you sing.

JUJU 'So That It Overflows with Kindness'
May it be filled with kindnessJUJU

One of JUJU’s signature songs, it’s a gentle, heartfelt ballad.

By using falls in the singing, you can bring out a more wistful, mature atmosphere.

In “Yasashisa de Afureru You ni,” there are many parts where the melody doesn’t cut off at the end of phrases, but rather lingers softly.

Especially in the chorus, most of the phrase endings are sung with a slight sustain, so if you articulate the vowels clearly, a natural fall will occur.

Try to sing without pushing too hard—let the sound flow as you ease off.
