The circled part in the lyrics is the expression of light sound. Using breathy sound and light voice to perform is the technique used by the original singer, so I focused on this technique to practice.

During this week's practice is on the pronunciation part, after practice Masa corrected my Japanese pronunciation. In the video, when I sang "Sagasazu tomo tsune ni koko ni", the "tsu" in this sentence was pronounced closer to the "u" sound when I sang it before. After the correction, the correct pronunciation should be the "e" sound.

In addition to listening to the original song "kirari" or Cpop "How to do", I also listen to different songs or works by different singers in the same style or genre. For example, among Jpop songs, I will listen to Yoasobi's various albums, such as "The Book" and "The Book 3", to grasp the pronunciation of Japanese words. I especially like several songs in "The Book", such as "あの夢をなぞって (Ano yume wo nazotte)" and "ハルジオン (Harujion)". In addition, I also will find out references songs by Fuji kaze, such as "shinunoga e-wa", "damn" and so on, which can be of great help to me when singing "kirari". Especially the song "damn", which is also a light-hearted song, so the singing method he demonstrated can be used as a reference for me.

In terms of Cpop, the band Accusefive has similar song styles, for example, their songs "Night life.Take us to the light" and "You Are My Magic" are quite famous. The reason these songs can serve as a reference for me is because the singer Quan Qing's singing style is very distinctive, showcasing her unique vocal style in each song. Therefore, I use these two songs as references when practicing the style of "How to do."

Breath techniques: The song "Kirari" has basically taken shape, and some breathing points have been understood, but the melody line of the Chinese song "How to do" is not familiar enough, and the breath stability is not enough.

Vocal endurance: The use of Dantian in the song "Kirari" still needs to be strengthened. At present, the only part I am familiar with is the melody line, and the performance in the Chinese song "How to do" is far from the expected effect.

Emotional expression: I have not been able to fully devote myself to the emotional expression of both songs. I am currently just singing along with the songs.

Pronunciation: The lyrics of "Kirari" have been memorized, but I still rely on the lyrics habitually, and I will hold the lyrics in my hands during band practice. As for the Chinese song "How to do", since it is a Chinese song, I don't need to spend too much time memorizing the lyrics. I only need to listen to the melody line a few more times to remember the general lyrics.

Breathing technique: The breathing point of the song "Kirari" has become muscle memory, but when I sang it in the seventh week, the method was still very slow, and it was still a lyrical song. This week I adjusted the punctuation and used the method of singing a word and stopping to strengthen it. The breathing in "How to do" has obviously improved a lot, but there are many breathy parts in the bridge that need to be strengthened.

Vocal endurance: In terms of endurance in the two songs, it was more erratic. This week's practice made me realize that my singing stability in these two songs is not as good as last week, and the pitch is also easy to go out of tune.

Emotional expression: Standing singing seems to improve the performance effect. When singing while standing, bringing out the lyrics, bringing myself in, and adding some movements of hands will make it easier for me to invest your emotions.

Pronunciation: The pronunciation has improved a lot. Whether it is "Kirari" or "How to do", the lyrics are basically familiar, and can sing without the lyrics.

Breathing techniques: In the seventh week, the breathing points of "Kirari" have been basically mastered, and the breathing points are very clear and have become muscle memory; but it takes a lot of time to get used to "How to do". This song is a challenge for me. It allows me to try different styles and explore new singing techniques and methods.

Vocal endurance: The use of Dantian is relatively stable. The two songs have become stable under the support of Dantian, but in "How to do", the vocal performance is more erratic and needs to be strengthened.

Emotional expression: I haven't been able to put myself into the two songs, which is very confusing for me, because I don't know how to invest emotions, so I can only master the song skills first.

Pronunciation: In "Kirari", I have basically gotten used to the pronunciation. Although I can't compare with Japanese people 100%, I generally remember how to pronounce it; and "How to do" is even more so. I just need to be familiar with the lyrics and strengthen a few pronunciation parts.

I rarely listen to Michael Jackson's songs, let alone try to sing them. I found that there are many breathy parts in this song, which is its unique “Michale Jackson” style. It is difficult to completely imitate his singing style. The first step I took in analyzing the song was to circle the breathy parts. In addition, we also adapted the song and modulated the third chorus.

Each clip in this video is divided into pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, and outro. Due to time constraints, only the song "How to do" was learned in this class. In summary, there are several points that need improvement: the first is to use more breathy techniques, the second is to use a smile to convey the message, and the third is that the stage presence problem can be addressed through positioning.

Breathing technique: Master the ability to use mixed voice, falsetto, and breathy voice seamlessly within a performance. Incorporate these techniques dynamically to match the emotional arc of the songs.

Vocal endurance: Achieve consistent use of the lower abdomen throughout entire performances. Maintain vocal stability and breath control, even in the most demanding parts of the songs.

Emotional expression: Fully integrate emotional expression with vocal technique and physical movement. Deliver performances that feel authentic and deeply connected to the lyrics, with body language that enhances the storytelling.

Pronunciation: Ensure three songs “Human Nature”, "Kirari" and "How to Do" are sung with perfect pronunciation. Focus on clarity and enunciation, ensuring every word is understood by the audience while maintaining the natural flow of the music.

In today's Kirari practice, I deliberately emphasized the snare. I found that if I focus too much on the snare beat, I tend to forget my part and get easily distracted. Next, I need to turn this beat into muscle memory so that I can perform it better.

As I wrap up week 14 of my practice program, I find myself reflecting on my journey from singing unsteadily in an unfamiliar range to now being able to sing within this range and express it fully. This 14-week process has shown me that I can actually try new styles, and no matter the result, I will do my best to complete this assessment.

Achieving Fluency and Muscle Memory

One of my main goals is to achieve fluency in my breathing points and ensure they become muscle memory. In the last week, I noticed that my breathing became more instinctive and integrated into my singing. These exercises have brought me one step closer to achieving my goals. Practice makes perfect.

Emotional Connection and Expression

Throughout the practice program, I wanted to express the emotional connection of the lyrics and convey a sense of love and sweetness in my songs. In this last week of practice, if I don’t achieve a lot of expression, I want to ensure that at least this performance is relaxed because nervousness will negatively affect my performance.

Stability and Lower Abdominal Support

Using my lower abdomen (Dantian) to support my breathing has been a focus for me. During this week, my singing was not always stable, but I was able to sing more smoothly, with a more consistent tone and better breath control when using my lower abdomen because I was better at handling my breathing points.

Incorporating Body Movements

Enhancing my stage presence through incorporating body movements was another important goal. This week, I tried to adjust my mental state to stay relaxed and have fun in order to integrate these movements more naturally, which would help express my stage performance.

Final Thoughts

Looking back, week 14 expressed my dedication to these three songs. The combination of each element of my practice plan created a more nuanced, confident, and expressive performance. I see the progress I have made and am grateful for the structure this plan has provided.

As I move forward, I will continue to build on this foundation, push myself further, and explore new musical challenges. This reflection not only marks the end of an important chapter but also the beginning of a new journey full of potential and growth. I’m eager to see where my continued practice and passion for music will take me.
