Inoue Sonoko “Tenbyō no Uta” (Solo ver.) Music Video

“Tenbyō no Uta,” released as a collaboration between the rock band Mrs.

GREEN APPLE and singer-songwriter Sonoko Inoue.

The original showcases a stunning harmony between Daiki Omori and Sonoko Inoue, but there’s actually a solo version by Sonoko Inoue as well.

It’s a beautiful piece featuring her delicate vocals over a piano accompaniment.

Being a gentle ballad that expresses straightforward feelings, performing it at just the right moment might make the men present skip a heartbeat.

Every Little Thing / fragile

It’s a song by Every Little Thing that expresses the feeling, “I can’t quite be honest, but deep down I truly love you.” The lyrics are practically a confession of love—so much so that it’s hard to imagine any man feeling nothing if it’s sung right in front of him.

If you sing it with gratitude for having met him and with the wish to keep spending time together from now on, even a man who has only ever seen you as a friend won’t be able to help but take notice.

Why not try singing it with a touch of longing, imagining Kaori Mochida’s clear, expansive voice?

Unchanging Things

Okuda Hanako’s classic song “Kawaranai Mono” (“The Unchanging”).

Released in 2006, it’s well known as an insert song for the film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and its orthodox J-pop ballad style has garnered support from many listeners.

The song’s vocal range spans mid2 A# to hi C#, which is a very comfortable and relatively narrow range for female singers.

While the final chorus features a solid development, there’s no key change, so you’re unlikely to struggle with vocal height.

In terms of range, pitch movement, and rhythm, it’s an easy song overall—definitely give it a try.

I want to tell you how I feel (my love)Aimyon49rank/position

Aimyon – “I Want to Tell You I Love You” [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

It’s a simple song, but it’s one that truly shines because of Aimyon’s vocal ability, and it’s one of my favorites too! I always feel that Aimyon’s charm lies in the world she creates with her lyrics and in the beautifully balanced blend of her low and high notes.

In particular, this song has a wide vocal range—from F#3 in the verses and before the chorus to E5 in the chorus—so the pitch differences are extreme, and you’ll want to be careful not to go flat when singing.

The rhythm and breath placement are also quite challenging, but it feels amazing when you can sing it well! I recommend singing it with lots of energy and groove!
