From City Pop to Ballads!! Mariya Takeuchi’s Easy-to-Sing Songs

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

The 29th single, Midnight Nightingale, was written as the theme song for the TV drama White Shadow -Love and Life in the White-.

Its sentimental lyrics that tie in with the story, paired with a beautiful, coloring melody, leave a strong impression.

The overall key is low and the melodic movement isn’t difficult, but pay attention to keeping your voice steady on the sustained notes in the chorus.

With both melody and tempo being relaxed, it’s a ballad you can sing calmly at karaoke.
