aiko’s classic and popular songs

Here’s an introduction to the music of aiko, the female singer-songwriter known for popular songs like “Kabutomushi” and “Boyfriend.” Active since 1998, her charm lies in the coexistence of sweet, cute lyrics—much like her appearance—and a striking coolness that contrasts with them.

She often employs jazz-inspired chord progressions, and this sophisticated musical sense is another key to her popularity.

There’s also a story that her father was a friend of Hiroshi Madoka, and when she said as a child that she wanted to become a singer, Madoka told her, “Don’t do it—you’ll have a hard time.” Please enjoy her wonderful songs with this playlist.

It’s a wonderful song with Aiko’s cute vocals and a perfectly balanced tempo.

There’s a touch of wistfulness, but I love how Aiko’s music never gets too gloomy.

It feels like a song that lets you cherish those moments of being by someone you love and laughing over the little things.
