fragileEvery Little Thing
Every Little Thing’s hit number “fragile.” From the very first lines, it evokes tenderness and heartache—such a complex swirl of emotions.
It’s a karaoke staple, of course, and precisely because it’s so classic, it feels great to sing and really conveys the song’s quality to those listening.

The track drew attention for being produced by Tetsuya Komuro.
Its danceable, powerful sound is striking, and combined with her vocals, it conveys a sense of determination to move forward.
It was also used as the theme song for the film Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, resonating with the work’s shared theme of forging a path to the future.

Her 35th single Ito, released as a double A-side with Inochi no Betsumei, became a major hit after being selected as the theme song for the TV drama Seija no Koshin (March of the Saints).
Its lyrics, which evoke the essence of life itself, may gain even greater depth when sung by a woman in her 40s.
With its beautiful melody that will captivate listeners even in karaoke, it is a masterpiece that remains in the history of J-pop.
