I wish you would hold me.Kudō Shizuka
Her third single overall, “Daite Kuretara Ii no ni,” is distinguished by its bluesy melody and ensemble.
It’s her first rock ballad as a solo single, and it exudes a sultriness that’s hard to believe came from someone still in her teens at the time.
The song is challenging, with high notes right from the opening and wide interval jumps, but the tempo is quite relaxed, so it’s easier to sing if you approach it calmly.
It’s a crowd-pleaser for karaoke—sing it with an awareness of the bouncing shuffle rhythm and expressive dynamics.

Ayaka Hirahara’s richly expressive vocals further deepen the emotional impact of the piece.
Included on the album “my Classics 3” and released in March 2011, this song is a gemlike ballad that combines Masayuki Sakamoto’s arrangement with lyrics co-written by Ayaka Hirahara herself, set to the melody of the globally renowned “Danny Boy,” which itself uses the Irish folk tune “Londonderry Air.” It’s a track you’ll want to listen to on a long autumn night, while thinking of someone dear.
