My friend—now and forever...NEW!Ketsumeishi

Ketsumeishi “My Friend ~ From Here On Forever…”

As the title suggests, the theme is “unchanging friendship and gratitude,” and it’s a warm song that makes you want to share it with someone you love.

There are many comments on YouTube addressed to Ryuhei Ueshima, and just reading them made my heart swell.

This is actually a memorable song for me, too.

When I had just become a vocal coach, I had a student in their 50s who practiced this song all the time.

They said, “It’s easy to get into, it’s fun, and it’s just a great song!” I totally agree—once you nail the rhythm and the flow of the words, you don’t need to worry too much about pitch.

That said, the section right before the second chorus does have some larger intervals, so it’s cooler if you pick out those notes one by one for a tighter finish.

I love this song too—want to practice it together?

Encounters are seeds of growthKetsumeishi

Encounters are seeds of growth

Included on the 2011 album “Ketsunopolis 7,” this song looks back on the many encounters with people the artist has experienced.

As the title suggests, the lyrics—expressing that the singer is who they are today thanks to the people they’ve met—are truly moving.

Although the tempo is on the relaxed side, there are many rap sections throughout, and the lyrics are delivered quickly, so that point requires attention.

However, because there isn’t much dynamic variation, once you get the melody line and the rap rhythm down, it should become easier to sing.

A future we create togetherKetsumeishi

Among Ketsumeishi’s tracks, this one has a relatively relaxed tempo; while it does include rap parts, it unfolds with a gentle rhythm, making it easy to sing.

The vocal range isn’t wide either, so many people will find the chorus particularly singable.
