A song whose angelic vocals resonate gently, wrapping around the heart.
The lyrics convey gratitude to a presence that always watches over us, no matter how far away or beyond the high sky it may be.
Released in 2004 as the theme for NHK’s Saturday drama “Ice Wall,” the track was later featured in commercials for Panasonic VIERA and Universal Studios Japan, continuing to stay close to many people’s hearts.
Its translucent voice and heartwarming melody offer a soothing moment of relief to those of us often chased by the busyness and anxieties of everyday life.

Centered on themes of love, hope, and human bonds, the lyrics remind us of the importance of cherishing the small joys in everyday life.
It’s recommended for times when you can’t feel happiness or when your heart is tired.

Seen this way, it means that female artists tend to have a lot of love songs.
Male artists probably have many as well, but in terms of quality and popularity, the reality is that female artists inevitably come out on top.
This song, for example, is a splendid love song.
Sleepless in SeattleMay J.

This is an unusual piece where May J.
performs a self-duet.
Not only are the high notes impressive, but the beauty of the low register is also stunning, making it a truly excellent song.
In the music video, you can also see May J.
dressed as a man.
The beautiful harmonies of the self-duet make you want to keep listening.
Sleeping BeautySEKAI NO OWARI

Although the lyrics are fantastical, it’s a song that’s incredibly relatable.
The sweet, delicate vocals render the piece even more dreamlike.
I think children and adults experience it in completely different ways.
Yet its beauty transcends generations.
The more you listen, the more its beauty sinks in.
