Answer keyMotoki Omori
This is a solo song by Motoki Omori, the vocalist of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, and as expected, it features a lot of high notes.
The range is G#3 to B4, so it might be easier for women to sing.
One amazing thing about Omori is that he switches between chest voice and falsetto much more frequently than other artists, but for this song, keeping your eyebrows raised while singing helps make the transitions smoother.
My students often say, “Omori’s eyebrows are always up!” so please use that as a reference.
Also, since the phrases in this song are relatively long, I recommend deciding your breath points before you sing.
If you don’t have enough breath, your voice may drop out in the falsetto sections, so be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing.
It’s challenging, but it’s a cute song, so once you get used to it, try singing it in a cheerful, bouncy mood!

Season of LovePinky and the Killers
Pinky and the Killers brought a fresh breeze to the music scene with their mixed-gender style.
Their debut song is a classic that sings of the fluttering heartbeat that signals the start of love and the exhilaration that makes the world seem to shine.
Its comfortable sound, infused with bossa nova, still feels fresh today.
Released in July 1968, the track was featured as an insert song in the film “Hana Hiraku Musume-tachi” and used in commercials.

Koi seyo, MidsummerTeacher, help me.
With its light piano and clear, airy vocals, this is the perfect summer anthem.
Packed with the charm of the neo-subcultural piano pop that Sensei Tasukete excels at, the track captures the refreshing yet faintly wistful atmosphere of summer to perfection.
The lyrics delicately portray the feelings of a protagonist who longs to escape a digital everyday life and throw themselves into a blazing midsummer romance.
Released as the third single in May 2025, it’s also gaining attention for its music video featuring actress Ayutaro.
The scenes of her in a school uniform running along the seaside feel like a page straight out of youth.
It’s a classic you’ll want to play at the start of summer, with the anticipation of love in your heart.
A Summer Day in LoveMari Amachi
Among the summer songs sung by the national idol Mari Amachi, this piece is one of the first masterpieces that comes to mind.
It portrays the sweet, fluttering scenes of first love—waiting for someone you like on the tennis court—and just listening makes your heart skip a beat.
Released in July 1973, the song spent six consecutive weeks at No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
Beyond her adorable appearance singing in white tennis wear on that year’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, her crystal-clear voice and breezy melody evoke the very essence of youth in summer.
It’s the perfect track for when you want to let your heart drift back to days gone by.
Songstress of SolitudeAimi Tanaka
Among kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), there are some bluesy pieces, and “Lonely Diva” is among the bluesiest and most soulful within Aimi Tanaka’s repertoire, crafted with a notably gritty melody.
The vocal range is relatively narrow, and the low notes aren’t excessively low, so there should be virtually no range-related issues when singing this piece.
Techniques like kobushi (melismatic turns) or ad-libbed embellishments are almost absent; however, there’s a long tone before the chorus that fades out cleanly, so that part requires attention.
Heartless LoveAimi Tanaka
Aimi Tanaka has a wide range of expressive techniques.
In the renowned classic “Koi Mujou,” she incorporates the hiccup vocal technique, frequently used by artists like Aya Shimazu.
This hiccup technique flips the voice, and in pop music it’s often employed by performers such as Hideki Saijo and Shigeru Matsuzaki.
While mastering the hiccup technique itself may take some time, the vocal line features a fairly standard range and a slow tempo, making the song overall quite approachable to sing.
