ChaO!NEW!Kumi Koda
ChaO! is more about the groove than the “singing.” If you really move your body and get into the rhythm as you sing, you’ll find it consistently enjoyable, so if you’re not confident in your pitch, a song like this is a great choice! The chorus uses a lot of notes around the mid–2 range, but if you’re locked into the groove, that range should come out smoothly.
Don’t tense up—let the notes flow comfortably.
At the very end of the song, you might wonder whether to sing the lyrics line or the long-held note; either one sounds cool, so just go with the one you want to sing!
