Leo Ieiri's famous and popular songs

From Me to Youieiri reo

Leo Ieiri – “Kimi ni Todoke”

The melody is catchy, so you might expect a bright song, but the lyrics feel prickly, as if a teenager is hurling their anxieties about reality and their inner struggles.

Amid that, the bright title “Kimi ni Todoke” offers a sense of hope for the future.

I think it’s a song very characteristic of Leo Ieiri, combining both darkness and light.

lost in the dream

A track included on the third album, “20.” It was reportedly inspired by watching the movie Casablanca.

It’s a mature-sounding love song.

They say it was built from the feeling of wanting to confess your feelings to someone you love—yet wondering, why don’t you actually say it?

little blue

A track included on the third album, “20.” The color blue can be bright when it’s the blue of the sky, but if it’s the color of tears, it’s sad.

Leo Ieiri herself has a clear contrast between light and dark within her, which can be exhausting, and the song was created from those emotions.

Answerieiri reo

Leo Ieiri - "Answer" (Full Ver.)

A single by Leo Ieiri, released in May 2020.

It was originally scheduled for release in April, but seems to have been pushed to May due to the coronavirus situation.

That aside, the song showcases piercing high notes right from the start, and I imagine any woman confident in her high register would think, “I definitely want to sing this!” Moreover, that powerful, soaring high-tone voice is exhilarating to listen to all on its own.

Brand New Tomorrowieiri reo

Brand New Tomorrow

This wonderful medium-tempo ballad by Leo Ieiri was tied in as an image song for the animated film The Secret Life of Pets.

The tender, warm lyrics feel as if they’re looking back on the days and memories shared by an owner and their pet, touching the heart.

The melody is gentle yet never overly sentimental, resulting in a sound that gives you the courage to face forward and take the next step.

Ieiri’s clear, soaring vocals are another highlight.

The track is included on the 2016 album WE.

It’s a gem that accompanies everyday life with your beloved pet and deepens your affection for them.

It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to after seeing the movie, while taking a walk with your dog or cat.

Painieiri reo

Leo Ieiri – “Pain” Music Video

A song by Leo Ieiri, a female singer-songwriter who left home for Tokyo on her own—practically disowned—so she could pursue music, and made her major debut in 2012.

The driving band ensemble, featuring guitar-forward sounds, gives a sense of Leo Ieiri returning to her roots.

Its powerful message about staying true to your own will, combined with a cool melody, really hits home.

It’s an emotional rock tune you’ll want to sing at karaoke while seeing yourself in the lyrics.
