My chest hurts.Ukadan
When talking about the blues scene in Osaka, you can’t avoid mentioning the band YUKADAN.
Their vocalist, Atsuki Kimura, is known as having an “angelic raspy voice”—literally raspy, yet warm and gently embracing in its tone.
Their hit number Mune ga Itai (“My Heart Hurts”) showcases exactly that.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide, but emulating Kimura’s powerful rasp is extremely difficult.
Aiming for a high score is easier if you focus on accurate pitch and sing in a way that suits your own voice.
Songs Without Words, Book V, Op. 62 No. 5, No. 3 “Venetian Boat Song”Felix Mendelssohn
This is a piece from Felix Mendelssohn’s celebrated collection of piano miniatures, the masterpiece “Lieder ohne Worte” Op.
62.
The 6/8 accompaniment in the left hand deftly depicts a gondola gliding along the canals of Venice, while the right hand sings a melody like a plaintive song echoing over the water.
Its appeal lies in the way it conveys a poised dignity and elegance within sorrow, rather than being merely dark.
Published in 1844, this set is dedicated to Clara Schumann.
It is recommended for those times when you don’t want to force yourself to feel cheerful, but instead wish to surrender to this beautiful melody and savor the sensation of quietly sinking into the depths of your heart.
Purple sunflowerKashii Moimi
An emotional song infused with R&B elements.
Created by Vocaloid producer Kashii Moimi, known for numerous hits like “Cat Loving,” it was released in July 2023.
The piano’s timbre adds a lingering resonance to the bittersweet summer love story sung by Harui.
The lyrics, packed with feelings about parting with a loved one, strike the heart even just by reading them.
It’s a recommended track for quiet nights when you want to slowly immerse yourself in music.

MU-JOAki Yashiro
MU-JO is a work distinguished by its passionate guitar intro.
Aki Yashiro is known for her diverse vocal style that incorporates jazz, blues, and chanson, but among those, this piece stands out for its soulful vocals.
In terms of genre, it’s like a blend of Showa-era kayōkyoku and rock, while the vocals exhibit characteristics of blues and soul.
Although the track has a strong, powerful feel, the overall vocal range is kept relatively narrow, and there are few long sustained notes.
Despite its intensity, the vocals themselves are rather straightforward, making it unquestionably an easy song to sing.
