Japanese hit songs of 2005 (21–30)
Tonkari KidsTongarikizzu
These days, it’s a rare kind of techno.
And it’s the familiar theme song from the hugely popular game, Super Mario Bros.
I think many people find it memorable and nostalgic.
Lyrics have been added to it, making it a fun track.
It’s a real crowd-pleaser.
SMILYOtsuka Ai
It’s a lively, up-tempo song by Ai Otsuka, who can also beautifully sing ballads.
The music video is super cute.
If a cute girlfriend sang this to me, I think I’d fall for her even more.
It’s an uplifting track, so it’s one I want to listen to when I’m feeling down.

To a Friend ~Say What You Will~SMAP
The lyrics were written by the one and only Eric Clapton.
It’s a song well-suited for graduations and for cheering someone on.
It conveys gratitude to those who always watch over and support us.
It’s also recommended as a message song for people to whom you don’t usually say “thank you.”
