Because your eyes are smilingImai Miki

The beautiful song “Hitomi ga Hohoemu Kara” by Miki Imai, with her clear, lovely voice, is one I hope you’ll listen to when you’re working hard at parenting or feeling worn out by childcare.

I think the lyrics let you once again feel that “tiny life” from when your child was born.

So even if you’re exhausted by a child who’s being demanding, the song seeps into your heart and soul with a feeling of “Thank you for being born and coming to me,” and it makes you want to hold your child tight.

It’s a highly recommended song.

Since its release in 1992, Aladdin has been loved by people all over the world.

It’s known for featuring a variety of iconic songs.

Among them, one that tends to be relatively overlooked is One Jump Ahead.

Composed by Alan Menken, this number plays in the first half of the story during the scene where the protagonist, Aladdin, is being chased.

With many characters appearing and delivering lines, it seems like a great choice to sing with a large group.

You can also take cues from the film or the stage musical versions.

A Terribly Hot Summer and a KnifeNaisho no piasu

As you keep listening, you’ll start to feel chills down your spine—this is a yandere song.

It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer Naisho no Pierce, released in 2022.

The song portrays the protagonist’s near-mad obsession after realizing their lover is cheating.

The tense rhythm and KAFU’s earnest vocals intertwine in a striking way.

I’m also drawn to the arrangement choices that shape the world of the song—like the audible breaths during the break and the unusually long silence just before the final chorus.

And by all means, make sure to listen all the way through to the outro!
