Japanese Hit Songs of 2006 (11–20)
A perfect skyBONNIE PINK
I remember really liking the chorus of this song and humming just the chorus all the time.
Maybe I never tried to learn the rest, because even now when I think of it and sing it, I only know the chorus (lol).
But that’s fine since that’s the only part I like anyway (lol).
My NoteSukima Suichi
This song became the theme for Doraemon.
It was really popular when it first came out.
I listened to it again for the first time in a while, and it’s a great song—the gentle, introspective intro gradually shifts to an up-tempo feel with nice dynamics.
It’s so fitting for Doraemon (lol).
VenusTakkī & Tsubasa
I love the beat, the melody, and the lyrics of this song, and I used to sing it at karaoke with friends all the time, copying the moves from the music video and dancing along (lol).
Even now, I still like it just as much as before—the melody, the words, the MV—they all bring back memories (lol).
JUICYKōda Kumi
I just remembered how often I used to watch this music video back then! The melody had a rhythm I really liked, but I’d completely forgotten how much I enjoyed it (lol).
I’d basically forgotten it existed to the point where I hadn’t listened to or watched it in years (lol).
SomedayKōda Kumi
I used to like this song! (lol) I don’t remember much besides the chorus, but when I started listening to it, it felt nostalgic.
I had a friend who was a fan of her, and I think they used to sing this song.
Even listening now, I still really like the chorus.
