To the Sun in the Palm of Your HandAi Kawashima
“Tenohira wo Taiyo ni,” with lyrics by Takashi Yanase, famed creator of Anpanman.
In 2004, after it was performed by the Mezamashi TV All Cast, many notable figures continued to sing it that same year.
In November, singer-songwriter Ai Kawashima—known for the graduation song “Tabidachi no Hi ni…”—took her turn.
The track was included as a coupling song on her single “‘Sayonara’ ‘Arigatou’ ~Tatta Hitotsu no Basho~.” Kawashima’s clear, luminous vocals and the radiant arrangement leave you feeling refreshed.
Tendo Hot Spring Town OndoEiko Hoshikawa
Tendo City is located in the eastern part of Yamagata Prefecture and is a town of shogi and hot springs, symbolized by the adjacent Mt.
Maizuru.
The original folk song “Tendo Kouta” was passed down by geisha at banquets starting in 1952, but it gradually fell out of use over time.
To help promote the city as a tourist destination, “Tendo Yunomachi Kouta” was created.
Tennessee WaltzChiemi Eri
Tennessee Waltz is a song that became a huge hit in Japan in the 1950s.
Originally released in the United States in 1948, it was covered by Chiemi Eri in 1952 with Japanese lyrics, sparking the jazz boom in Japan at the time.
The song, which portrays a bittersweet love, tells the story of a beloved person being taken away by a friend.
Alongside nostalgic memories, it is a work that gently evokes the joys and sorrows of life.

An energetic track that fuses a positive message with powerful vocals.
Released by VOLTACTION in January 2025, this song is featured on the album “Action!!!!!!!!!!!!”.
True to the phrase “Take action!”, it’s crafted to encourage listeners.

TAKE IT BACKDa-iCE
Da-iCE is a boys group that enjoys overwhelming support from young people thanks to their phenomenal performances.
When it comes to Da-iCE, their standout feature is undoubtedly their superb high tones.
In particular, their mixed voice is on an entirely different level of refinement.
The track “TAKE IT BACK” showcases the essence of Da-iCE’s mixed voice, featuring notably high mixed notes throughout the song.
Rather than being just any mixed voice, it’s a powerful, full-volume mixed voice with real impact, so pulling it off requires considerable vocal ability.

TELL MEhide
hide from X JAPAN.
He was also active as a solo artist, and at the time he was wildly popular—not only among women but also among men.
I imagine many men in their 40s were fans.
Among hide’s songs, the one I especially recommend is TELL ME.
It’s a straightforward rock track, but the vocal line is simple without complex pitch changes.
The range is narrow too, so even those who can’t sing very high should be able to handle it without any trouble.
