Released on April 10, 1993, this is Chisato Moritaka’s 18th single.

With its bouncy rhythm, breezy sound that evokes a wide-open blue sky, and her clear, relaxed vocals, it’s a fun song that makes you want to go somewhere! It might be nice to listen to this song while taking a trip to unwind.

A highly recommended, feel-good track from Chisato Moritaka!

Ringo Sheena – Life Is Full of Dreams

Life is full of dreams.Shiina Ringo

As befits a life insurance commercial song, Ringo Sheena is singing about life.

Surely women in their forties can also have dreams they can look forward to from here on.

In the hands of the now-mature Lady Ringo, even a sadistic life turns into something like a lavish musical.

Wash Your Heart! / Mariko Nagai “MARIKO With HYSTERIC MAMA BIG OPEN ZOO” #4

Wash your heart! Mariko Nagai

The 13th single by Mariko Nagai, released on April 24, 1991.

Catchy, punchy sound and a powerful vocal that fires you up.

The call-and-response in the song pulls you into the fun so much you can’t help but answer back.

It’s an energetic rock ’n’ roll, pop-infused feel-good song!

Kobukuro – WINDING ROAD (Ayaka × Kobukuro)

WINDING ROADAyaka × Kobukuro

The incredible combination of Ayaka and Kobukuro came together to create a song that’s many times more wonderful.

I always listen to it as a cheer-up song when I can’t see what lies ahead or when I feel anxious.

Their three soaring voices are soothing, and I can’t help but envy how powerfully they can project their voices.
