WANIMA – Together (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

WANIMA’s hit song “Tomoni.” While many of its lyrics are negative, the chorus suddenly shifts to a highly positive message, and that strong contrast made the track popular with many listeners.

In this piece, the lowest note is mid1 F and the highest is hi C#, which is a relatively wide range for a male vocal song.

However, the hi C# only appears twice in the first verse’s A section; the song is basically structured with hi A# as the top note, so with key adjustment it can be quite singable.

Since it tends to have fewer natural breakpoints, lowering the key by one step from your optimal key may work better when actually singing.
