A third of pure-hearted feelings

Although they disbanded once in 2002, SHIAM SHADE has captivated fans with several temporary reunions.

This signature song of theirs is widely known as the ending theme for the TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.

Its structure is very straightforward: the chorus comes first, followed by verse A and verse B, building excitement.

The beginning of verse A hits the song’s lowest note, D#3, which might be a bit low even for male singers.

Be careful not to let your voice get muffled in this part.

Another challenging aspect of the song is the rhythm.

In the chorus, if you sing it in a typical 4/4 feel, it won’t lock in with the backing drums and will sound flat.

Try singing it with a driving triplet feel instead—you’ll sound much cooler! It may be difficult until you get used to it, but definitely give it a try.

Since it’s a duet that men and women can sing together, it’s easy to try even if you’re not confident in your singing! Also, rather than focusing on singing well, it has a strong novelty/comedic vibe, so it’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke with fellow anime fans! There are lots of spoken lines and call-and-response parts, so even if you’re not good at singing, don’t be shy—just go for it.
