SmileNEW!Nana Mori
Mori Nana’s debut song “Smile” is actually a cover of a classic by HOF DYNAMITE from 1996.
I didn’t know this myself until a student told me when they said they wanted to sing “Smile.” We watched the original PV together and really felt the era! “Smile” has a relatively narrow vocal range, but it suddenly jumps up in pitch in the C section.
If you’re not comfortable with high notes in chest voice, use your head voice skillfully in that part.
My student practiced that section a lot—raising the facial muscles and aiming the voice straight up in a narrow, focused way.
Also, if you lock into the rhythm where the words flow continuously, it helps you place accents more consciously and makes them easier to produce.
Try singing it carefully with that in mind.
SparkleNEW!Lila Ikuta
Released digitally in January 2022, it was selected as the theme song for ABEMA’s romance reality show “Kyou, Suki ni Narimashita.
Mikan Arc.” For this piece, the melody was crafted first, then carefully layered with the tones of an acoustic guitar to complete the track, and it looks back on an unrequited love.
The protagonist’s feelings—overcoming the pain of a love that never came true and trying to move forward into the future—resonate quietly alongside her clear, transparent vocals.
It’s a song that will stay by your side on a night just after heartbreak, when you wish to face forward once again.
SNOW SONGNEW!MISIA
A winter lyric poem delivered by MISIA in the winter of 2003.
Included on a double A-side single cut from the album “MARS & ROSES,” it was chosen as the campaign song for J-WAVE’s Christmas season.
The lyrics are said to have originated the morning after she finished a New Year’s Eve concert in Hokkaido, when she saw a pure white snowy landscape through a frozen window.
A romantic ballad brimming with the sentiment of winter nights—like the kind of moment that makes you instinctively look up at the night sky when your heart is moved.
It’s a song that gently stays with you on winter nights when you want to be quiet, or when you’re thinking of someone far away.
STELLA’S COUGHNEW!Senri Oe
A charming pop number with a chic, stylish vibe.
The urbane sound so characteristic of Senri and the buoyant horn section feel delightful, stylishly portraying a slightly grown-up game of love.
Many listeners will likely feel a tug at the heart from the frustrating distance between two people who just can’t be honest with each other.
This gem is included on the album “OLYMPIC,” released in June 1987.
It also drew attention in 2023 when it was self-covered in a jazz piano rendition.
The original’s sparkling arrangement inspires a sense of exhilaration that makes you want to dress up and head out into the city.
Super Rabbit☆NEW!An Cafe
Released in September 2006 as the B-side to the single “Smile Ichiban Ii Onna,” this song showcases Antic Cafe’s signature fantastical worldview.
It depicts mysterious sounds drifting from the moon when you look up at the night sky and the feeling of love overflowing.
Its pop, lighthearted rock sound is another hallmark.
Listen during moon-viewing season, and you’ll feel your imagination expand.
SMILE ~Like a Clear, Sunny Sky~NEW!Keisuke Kuwata
It’s a cheer song imbued with the message, “No matter the era, don’t forget to smile and keep looking forward.” It was used as the theme song for the 69th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen and also as the theme music for Nippon TV’s broadcasts of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.
As you listen, you’ll notice the melody stays relatively low from start to finish, so it’s recommended for singers who are strong in the low to mid-high range.
In the low notes, be careful not to let your voice get muffled so you can maintain good balance.
Rather than forcing your voice, make sure to use your breath well as you sing.
Also, lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows will brighten the tone of your voice, making it less likely to get muffled and easier to sing.
Singing with a smile versus with a blank expression gives a completely different impression, so be sure to try it.
snowdropNEW!Naotaro Moriyama
This winter ballad, named after a white flower that blooms from February to March, is Naotaro Moriyama’s 15th single, released in January 2008.
It was used as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Beat Takeshi’s TV Tackle,” and was later included on the album “Shokun!!” in March of the same year.
The feelings of waiting for spring while thinking of a former lover resonate with the flower’s meaning of “hope,” drawing listeners into a richly poetic world where memories of the past intertwine with faint longing.
It’s a song that gently keeps you company on nights when you want to look back on the past and immerse yourself in memories of someone dear.
