Nanase Aikawa’s famous and popular songs
Let me introduce you to songs by Nanase Aikawa, a female singer signed to Avex.
Her music is rooted in rock, which is a major part of its appeal, and among the producers who have worked with her is Tomoyasu Hotei, one of Japan’s most renowned guitarists.
When she debuted, her songwriting consciously leaned toward darker, non-upbeat rock—the opposite of the positive, girl-pop style that was mainstream at the time—so she has more cool, edgy tracks than bright, poppy ones.
Nanase Aikawa is from Osaka, and her humorous personality is also a big part of her charm.
In particular, her appearances on the TV show “Utaban” together with T.M.Revolution’s Takanori Nishikawa are very entertaining, so be sure to check them out.

I was really curious about who was singing it because the voice and the song were so striking, and when I later saw who was performing it, I became a fan.
They were so cool, had a great voice, and I loved them.
It’s also a karaoke classic.

kaleidoscopeAikawa Nanase
A song that steps a little away from rock.
They can really pull off this kind of style too.
It’s very mellow and nice.
I don’t think it’s a number they had in their younger days, but even as they’ve aged, they still have a wonderful voice, so it’s great.

Back to the DayAikawa Nanase
She herself wrote the lyrics for the coupling track on the 29th single, “tAttoo.” Maybe because she always writes lyrics, I’m impressed by how good she is.
The song and the lyrics really match, don’t they? It feels nostalgic, and when I started listening again, the characteristically powerful sound cheered me up as always.
