Ayaka / Rainbow-Colored

“Nijiiro” was sung by many people in vocal training as well.

Of course, many also chose “Mikazuki,” but “Nijiiro” was especially popular because people said, “I can sing it without straining!” Indeed, during lessons, everyone seemed to relax well and found it easy to sing.

The overall range is F#3 to D5, which looks wide if you only consider the range, but since F#4 is used the most, there’s no need to be overly tense.

Also, for the flowing melody in the pre-chorus, if you don’t articulate every word too clearly and just go with the flow, you can avoid getting stuck.

For the last part of the chorus, if you sing each note carefully, it feels good and helps you stay on pitch.

There are points to focus on for each section of the melody, but you’ll likely find it easy to sing—so definitely try learning it.

Unfit to be a loverKoresawa14rank/position

Koresawa “Unqualified as a Lover” [Music Video]

Koresawa is an artist who performs without showing her face, taking the stance of “I want you to listen to the songs, not look at my face.” The teddy bear you often see seems to stand in for her! Now, since “Koibito Shikkaku” has no intro, make sure to clearly imagine the opening pitch before you start singing.

If you switch between chest voice and falsetto for the A melody, B melody, and the chorus, you may find it easier to hit the pitches accurately.

If you sing carefully with the scoring system in mind, you should be able to get higher marks.

Give it a try and practice!
