SEKAI NO OWARI「RPG」

SEKAI NO OWARI’s classic song “RPG.” This work, which could be called the culmination of the band’s fantastical musical style from their early days, is something anyone born in the Heisei era has probably heard at least once.

Surprisingly, the song’s vocal range is quite narrow, spanning from mid1 C# to hi A.

Since the frequently used notes are also on the lower side, even men with lower voices can sing it without issue if they drop the key.

If you want to boost the quality, try mixing in breaths like Fukase does—doing so will really liven things up at karaoke.
