Aimer “escalate” MUSIC VIDEO & CROSSFADE (Anime “NieR:Automata Ver1.1a” Opening Theme)

Riding on a tense, exhilarating tempo and sweeping waves of sound, Aimer’s song shakes the listener’s heart.

Her vocals, wrapped in a unique emotion, deepen the track’s mysterious world even further.

Released in March 2023, this piece was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime NieR:Automata Ver1.1a and drew considerable attention.

While carrying pain and despair, it portrays a spirit that keeps fighting in search of hope, drawing listeners into its story.

The passionate yet delicate singing weaves a melody with a presence you can’t forget once you hear it.

It’s a perfect track to feel both Aimer’s vocal prowess and the song’s allure.

Memories are beautifulAimer

Aimer “Memories Are Beautiful” Father’s Day edit (5th albums “Sun Dance” and “Penny Rain” to be released simultaneously on Wednesday, 2019/04/10)

It’s a heartfelt song by Aimer that warmly portrays the image of a father as remembered in cherished memories.

It’s filled with small everyday joys—like burnt toast on Sunday mornings and playing in the park.

Released to coincide with Father’s Day, the song was included on a triple A-side single that came out in September 2018.

Aimer’s distinctive husky voice conveys nostalgia and gratitude in full.

When you feel like expressing thanks to someone important, why not listen to this song? It will surely awaken the warm memories resting in your heart.

Aimer “White Mayfly” Music Video

Singer Aimer, who uses her longtime nickname—and the French word for “to love” or “to like”—as her artist name.

Her 23rd single, Shirairo Kabutobashi (White Mayfly), was chosen as the theme song for NHK General’s Drama 10 series “Ōoku Season 2.” The piano and string ensemble that creates a sense of depth, along with the somewhat wistful melody, is full of appeal that draws you into the song’s world.

It’s a grand ballad featuring a fragile yet soulful vocal performance that leaves a strong impression.

Falling AloneAimer

Aimer “Falling Alone” — song provided and produced by Taka (ONE OK ROCK). Included on the new album “daydream,” out on 9/21.

This song was also written and composed by Taka, the vocalist of ONE OK ROCK.

It has a strong rock vibe.

While many of her songs are the kind you really sit down and immerse yourself in, this one feels straightforwardly cool, and I feel like it shows a different side of Aimer than usual.

Black BirdAimer

Aimer 'Black Bird' Music Video – Film 'KASANE' (Kasane) version (In theaters September 7, Friday; Starring Tao Tsuchiya × Kyoko Yoshine)

Released in 2018, it was also the theme song for the film Kasane.

I’ve been focusing on songs with relatively simple, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-remember melodies, but in that sense, this song might not quite fit the bill.

At first listen, it sounds like a song with a fairly complex melody, doesn’t it? Still, don’t be intimidated by that.

Some parts may seem difficult to sing because of Aimer’s distinctive vocal style, but the vocal range used isn’t that wide.

If you listen closely, learn the melody, and sing it, I believe it will be a song that many people find easy to perform.

Re:prayAimer

Aimer - Re:pray

Aimer’s “Re:pray,” used as an ending theme for the anime BLEACH.

The title plays on “replay” and the word “pray,” and that nuance is used strikingly in the lyrics as well.

The lyrics portray the breakup of a couple—poignant and sorrowful—and I’m sure they’ll pierce your heart as you listen.

It’s a heartbreak song, a farewell song, and you can feel lingering attachment, but as you read the words woven into the lyrics, you can also imagine someone trying to move forward, and it brings you to tears.
