The vocal line is rhythmic but doesn’t require any complex pitch movement, and there are no long sustained notes, so even those without strong vocal skills can sing it with confidence.

“Run, SAKAMOTO,” which is drawing attention as the theme song for the popular anime SAKAMOTO DAYS, is a new track by the acclaimed singer-songwriter Vaundy, featuring a strong rock flavor.
Despite its intense sound, the overall vocal range isn’t particularly high.
There is a key change to watch out for, but there aren’t any sections with drastic pitch jumps that alternate repeatedly between falsetto and chest voice.
As a contemporary hit, it’s relatively easy to sing.
