Help me! Futon Man (feat. Yuki Kaai)Yukopi
Vocaloid producer Yukopi has gained popularity for a musical style full of originality.
With a unique, surreal, and somewhat cute sound, they consistently release highly addictive tracks.
Among Yukopi’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “Help Me! Futon Man (feat.
Yuki Kaai).” True to Yukopi’s style, this track stays within a narrow vocal range and contains no long sustained notes or powerful sections.
It’s one of the easiest songs to sing among the ones introduced here, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
