Aiko’s classic and popular songs (71–80)
magnetaiko
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.

Since her major debut in 1998, aiko has released one hit after another as one of the most popular female singer-songwriters, and she continues to lead the music scene even now in the 2020s.
Her songs—born from lyrics colored by her unique sense of language and chord progressions and melodic sensibilities unconstrained by music theory—resonate with listeners across generations, especially when it comes to love songs.
“Yakusoku” (Promise), included as the final track on her eighth major-label album “Himitsu,” released in 2008, is a bittersweet number that sings of saying goodbye to someone dear while promising to meet again someday.
The lyrics can be taken as a farewell to a friend from school days or a lover, but it also seems like a song that could move both sides when gifted to a cherished junior at the moment of graduation.
As you recall your happy memories, sing it as if speaking gently to them.

This is footage documenting “Love Like Aloha Vol.
7,” hosted by singer-songwriter aiko and held at Southern Beach Chigasaki in 2024.
A distinctive feature of Love Like Aloha is that it’s a free live concert, reflecting aiko’s desire for many people to enjoy music casually.
Another key point is that it was the first time in six years—spanning the COVID period—that the event was held again, and seeing aiko sing out with all her strength conveys the joy of being able to share her songs once more.
There were moments of rain on the day, and the way the show carried on steadily even in those conditions added a dramatic touch.
