It’s a song by aiko that portrays a delicate heart: identifying with an insect that protects itself with a hard shell yet is fragile inside, and acting tough precisely because it’s in love.
Like that insect that cannot survive the winter, the song foresees the end of love, yet its deep affection moves you as it tries to accept even the sadness as a cherished memory.
Released in November 1999, it was also used as the ending theme for TBS’s CDTV.

A signature work by aiko that vividly portrays the joy and poignancy of love.
Its pop, catchy sound and emotionally resonant lyrics are captivating.
It delicately expresses the feeling of “love,” leaving a deep impression on listeners.
Released in September 2000, it topped the Oricon daily chart three times.
It was later used in a Bridgestone bicycle commercial.
This song, which sings of being in love, is recommended for women in their 20s who want to liven up a karaoke session.
The melody has distinctive ups and downs, so keep that in mind when you sing.

Aiko often has songs that span a wide range from low to high notes.
In the new song “Sōshi Sōai,” the key range looks wide at G#3–C#5, but the actual sung range is lower than you might expect.
The B4 range is used in the chorus and elsewhere, but for most women, that pitch should come out naturally without much effort.
Rather than a “cheerful!” vibe, it’s a song that strongly conveys “bittersweet emotion,” so it’s one you can sing with a calm tone.
When you actually try singing it, you may find many phrases where the pitch drops at the end of the melody lines, which can make intonation tricky for some.
It’s true that moving from low to high can be easier if you have momentum, but going from high to low is very difficult to land accurately.
Try singing lightly while sustaining your breath all the way to the end.

It’s one of Aiko’s signature songs that gently cradles those bittersweet summer-night feelings of love.
A hit on TikTok every summer, this was her third single, released in August 1999, peaking at No.
10 on the Oricon charts, and it’s also included on the classic album “Sakura no Ki no Shita.” It beautifully captures that helpless feeling of thinking about the person you like right up until you fall asleep.
Set against summer constellations and the night sky, it portrays a love that swells in your chest and the frustration of it not coming true—cue the heart flutters.
If you listen to it on a night of unrequited love when your feelings for someone are overflowing, you’ll undoubtedly find yourself relating to every word.

Singer-songwriter aiko, who scored numerous summer hits in the ’90s such as “Hanabi” and “Kabutomushi,” released “Kira Kira” in 2005—a refreshing pop tune crafted with summer in mind as the theme song for the Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama “Ganbatte Ikimasshoi.” Its intro features a memorable piano phrase that makes you feel like something good is about to happen; the sound alone conjures up a vision of a clear, translucent summer sky.
Capsuleaiko7rank/position
Compared to aiko’s other songs, “Capsule” is characterized by a melody that doesn’t move much, making it a song where you can follow the tune straightforwardly.
It seems that aiko herself has commented to that effect.
As you listen, the sections sung softly in head voice at the beginning gradually shift to an emotional chest voice toward the latter half.
In the first half, it might be good to relax and sing gently and lightly.
Also, the very end of this song features a long sustained note.
It’s the moment when the emotion is at its peak, so it’s a part I’d love for you to sing comfortably in chest voice.
The sustained vowel is “o.” Since “o” makes it easy to open the throat and pronounce, there shouldn’t be any problem as long as you take a good breath and prepare before you start singing.
Send the breath flying far into the distance!
