GoodbyeGAO
GAO is a singer with a memorable husky voice and an androgynous presence.
After the 2000s, she made a surprising shift to gangsta rap and even released a full-fledged hip-hop album, and she continues to be active in music under the name GAO today.
Many people probably think of her 1992 smash hit “Sayonara” when they hear her name.
The song has since been covered by many singers and remains a classic of early Heisei-era J-pop that continues to be sung today.
Featuring a very singable melody built on a simple chord progression with restrained leaps in pitch, it’s also a great choice for those aiming for a high karaoke score.
For the high notes in the chorus, be sure to project strongly from your diaphragm so you can deliver them with power.
