ShuraYorushika
This song was released as a digital single on August 8, 2025, and became the theme song for the drama “We Still Don’t Know the Rules of That Star.” It’s a song that validates the “vague uneasiness inside” and the “overwhelming feelings” many teen girls experience, making it a track that truly stays close to adolescent emotions.
Rather than aiming to “sing it perfectly,” it’ll feel refreshing if you sing it as a way to “let your feelings out.” The overall vocal range is A#3–D#5, with the high notes sung in falsetto.
The key point is switching between chest voice and falsetto.
Use a bit more breath to transition smoothly.
Breathe in slowly through your mouth, staying calm so it becomes diaphragmatic breathing.
If you tense up, it turns into chest breathing and you won’t inhale as much as you think, so be careful not to let your shoulders rise!
