Hello, my friendMatsutōya Yumi
Hello, My Friend by Yumi Matsutoya was written as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama Kimi to Ita Natsu.
Released as a single in 1994, it reached No.
1 on the Oricon Singles Chart and sold over a million copies.
Originally, the plan was to use Good-bye friend—a B-side track and a tribute to the legendary racer Ayrton Senna—as the theme song, but because it didn’t fit the show’s image, the song was hastily reworked, keeping only the chorus, and became Hello, My Friend.
Matsutoya’s songs generally sit in a relatively low vocal range, making them easier to sing even for those who can’t hit high notes, so give it a try at karaoke!
