Aiko’s classic and popular songs (21–30)
pupilaiko
A song I composed for a friend’s childbirth.
It portrays the birth of a small life and a mother’s great love, and has since become a staple at weddings and in moments expressing gratitude in life.
For those who know it, there are likely many who find tears naturally welling up just by hearing it.
sparklingaiko
A song that captures the sweet feelings of a girl waiting for his return.
The tune is bright and has a refreshing vibe.
In the chorus, it portrays her adorable wish for him to know and hear even the smallest things about her.
Aiko’s greatest and most popular songs (31–40)
Capsuleaiko
Aiko’s new song “Capsule.” When you think of Aiko, you might recall her striking high-register phrases, including her falsetto, but she’s actually an artist with compelling lower tones as well.
This piece lets you savor Aiko’s lower range.
The overall range is somewhat wide, but that’s mainly because the pre-chorus sits high; the chorus, by contrast, is crafted around a low-register vocal line.
Because the chorus tends to lose volume, be mindful of enriching the overtones so you can compensate for the smaller sound with greater resonance.
Overall, the vocal line is straightforward and easy to sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

She is highly recommended for anyone seeking music that stays close to heartfelt, down-to-earth emotions.
KissHugaiko
It’s a bittersweet song that became hugely popular for lines like “I never once thought we were just friends.” Known as an insert song from the film Boys Over Flowers: Final, its wistful melody draws you in.
It was a major hit alongside the movie.
Loveletteraiko
A love letter I received from him.
It portrays a cute scene where I can’t contain my happiness or keep my excitement in check.
It has a rock vibe—while aiko is famous for her ballads, her band-driven melodies are actually a staple too.
In that sense, this is another song that’s very characteristic of aiko.
tomorrowaiko
Although this is Aiko’s memorable debut single, it’s unusual—in fact, it’s the only one—not composed by Aiko herself.
As you can tell at first listen, the tune and melody don’t have her signature “Aiko style,” but precisely for that reason, it’s a valuable track that offers a glimpse of a different side of Aiko.
