Weather ReportBUMP OF CHICKEN
This song, included on the 2010 album COSMONAUT, is a mid-tempo track that shines with BUMP OF CHICKEN’s signature freshness.
The lyrics seem to express feelings for a cherished person who’s struggling, yet they leave room for interpretation, allowing listeners to read them in various ways.
Overall, the song sits at a comfortable range for most male voices, but there’s a section in the latter half of the chorus where the melody jumps using falsetto.
It’s a spot to watch out for when singing, and if it still feels difficult, you might try lowering the key slightly.
It’s especially recommended for those who feel that ballads are somehow hard to sing.

The song “WANT” is included on the indie second album “FAKE METAL JACKET,” released after Atsuko Hashiyasume and Linlin joined.

Thanks to the low key and narrow vocal range, it’s easy to sing, but be careful not to waver in pitch, as the chorus has consecutive sustained notes.
The melody is laid-back against a driving beat, making it a great pick for karaoke.
