The song “Calling All Girls” is included on the 10th album Hot Space.

With its simple melody, no big leaps in pitch, and no fast phrases, it’s easy to sing—not only for beginners to Western music, but also for those who aren’t very confident singers.

The overall key is on the higher side, so if you’re not confident with high notes, try adjusting it to a key that suits your voice.
