It’s a track with an authentic electro, dance-beat-infused sound where the rhythm and the groove of the vocals are key.

It might seem difficult when you first listen, but once you get the feel for the rhythm, you’ll be fine.

By the way, it’s easier to catch the groove in this song by counting the off-beats rather than the usual downbeats.

Instead of counting “1, 2, 3, 4,” count “1-and-2-and-3-and-4,” where the “and” is the off-beat.

If you’re not used to it, you might gradually slip out of time, but try to work through that.

Also, the vocal range isn’t that high, so you can sing it lightly without bracing yourself.

At first, it’s fine to sing everything connected and flowing.

Definitely try to catch this groove and enjoy Hikaru Utada’s song!

Hikaru Utada 'Mine or Yours' Music Video

Hikaru Utada is known for her captivating low notes, but the song I’m introducing today, “Mine or Yours,” features a lot of falsetto as well.

The overall vocal range is wide, from G3 to E5, but the tempo is very relaxed, so you should be able to sing it without rushing.

You can also take solid breaths at each phrase, and since the melody rises with each section, the song itself is easy to memorize.

When singing, be careful not to let your pitch drop and focus on stabilizing your falsetto.

The verse starts on the lower side, so if you use a throaty tone from the beginning, you won’t be able to transition smoothly into falsetto.

Try lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows from the start and place your voice forward, as if projecting it in front of your eyebrows.

Just keeping this in mind will prevent pitch from sagging and help you produce a very smooth falsetto.

Also, to keep falsetto from becoming strained, engage your lower abdomen firmly and project your voice with confidence.

Hikaru Utada’s debut single, released in December 1998, brought a genuine R&B breeze into the world of J-pop.

Depicting feelings so strong that your body moves unconsciously when a call comes from a lover, the song blends a mature groove with the purity of teenage years to perfection.

Remarkably, this debut achieved double million sales.

Those who experienced that impact in real time likely remember it vividly.

Even now, its stylish sound hasn’t faded at all—an enduring classic that’s perfect for moments when you want to bask in memories.
