Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

SaraiShinji Tanimura / Yuzo Kayama

Sarai

Sarayi by Shinji Tanimura / Yuzo Kayama

If you want to force a tear-jerking climax, use this.

You can even wrap it up as a gag.

But that’s really for the younger generation—people born before the 1970s probably see Shinji Tanimura and Yuzo Kayama as heroic figures.

Unless you’re an older, seasoned singer, it’s hard to fully convey the essence of the song.

Those of that generation can stage a climax like a 24-hour charity TV special.

For younger folks like us, it’s a masterpiece we can only sing on a surface level.

Handle with care—that’s my recommendation!
