This song was chosen as the theme for the anime film A Silent Voice.

It’s a work by aiko, a singer-songwriter from Osaka Prefecture, released in 2016 as her 36th single.

Think of the person who is that presence for you, and try singing it slowly and tenderly.

aiko - “Jishaku” music video

This song by Japanese singer aiko is included on her 14th studio album, “Doushitatte Tsutaerarenai Kara,” released on March 3, 2021.

Aiko’s singing is characterized by a somewhat relaxed, laid-back delivery, and this track has been produced in a way that maximizes that appeal.

Her vocals may not make everyone immediately think “Wow, so skillful!” on first listen, but the effortless high tones you hear in this song are something that few can truly replicate.

In that sense, it’s a track where the production brings out the singer’s charm to the fullest.

When singing it at karaoke, try not to belt the high notes—instead, make good use of falsetto and mixed voice, and challenge yourself to reproduce that distinctive sense of ease and relaxation.

aiko - “Chapped Lips Lose Love” music video

From aiko’s album “Ima no Futari wo Otagai ga Miteru,” released in March 2023, the advance single was “Areta Kuchibiru wa Koi wo Nakusu.” It’s an upbeat number with a lavish horn section, showcasing the happy, characteristically aiko sound.

In contrast, the lyrics tell a bittersweet story of longing for a former lover, and the gap between the sound and the words makes the sadness hit even harder.

The song “Areta Kuchibiru wa Koi wo Nakusu” was performed on NHK’s music program “SONGS,” which aired on April 13.

aiko - “Chouchou Musubi” music video

Many of aiko’s songs have a stylish feel, which can make them seem difficult to sing.

Her 12th single, “Chōchō Musubi,” released in 2003, is no exception.

It expresses a hidden affection for someone with whom she feels a mysterious connection, and its airy, fluttering melody—like a butterfly in flight—beautifully conveys the protagonist’s emotions.

Precisely because it’s so captivating, it can feel challenging to sing.

However, if you listen closely to the melody, you’ll find it’s actually very catchy, with many repeated phrases.

Songs with lots of repetition are easier to learn, so if you give it a try, you might find it surprisingly easy to sing!
