Second LINENEW!Official HIGE DANDism
It’s a song full of humor and kindness, depicting the protagonist rushing in like a clown after receiving an SOS, trying to make the other person laugh.
While the melody line is simple, the overall range is on the higher side at G3–D5.
The chorus sustains high notes and tests endurance, so those who are good with high notes may find it easier to sing.
If you open your throat from the start of the chorus and articulate clearly, you should be able to make it to the end! As you get tired, your pitch may drop and your voice may become throaty, so switch from chest voice to falsetto and gradually get used to the range.
