Wishing you a wonderful day…Imai Miki
If you prefer a gentle song for your alarm, I recommend Miki Imai’s “May It Be a Wonderful Day…”.
It’s a mid-tempo number that sings of a peaceful day and honest feelings, released in 2005 as the B-side to the single “Ai no Uta”.
With a pleasant brass sound and a calm rhythm, it has a charm that makes you naturally want to get moving.
It was also used as the theme song for “Mezanew” (aired from 2003 to 2014), so it’s perfect for alarms! Not only is the song itself—crafted by Tomoyasu Hotei—excellent, but Miki Imai’s gentle vocals are also lovely, making it a morning song that makes you feel like something good might happen.

Set to a lively rhythm, this is a song by Miki Imai that overflows with love for a child.
It’s included on the album “Moment.” The lyrics don’t have many words, but they’re packed with an abundance of love.
For moms and dads, their child is the most important of all, right? Even when there are moments of anger, that never changes.
When you’re feeling a bit tired, just recalling these lyrics and the upbeat, tropical-tinged melody will make you feel like you can keep going again!

Orange RiverImai Miki
This is a song Miki Imai released when she was young.
It’s a very fresh and charming piece.
It has a somewhat sad atmosphere, and I think it really conveys a young woman’s longing to see the man she likes as soon as possible.
It’s a lesser-known song, so I think it’s great to sing at karaoke.

It expresses the joy of a woman who has finally met someone she loves.
It’s a song I want to listen to when leaving a sad past behind and stepping toward a new future.

The title “Short Sleeves” is very cute, and the melody is in a minor key while the lyrics charmingly express a young woman’s feelings.
Since it’s a song Miki Imai performs as a solo vocal-and-piano (hiki-gatari), I think it’s a rare piece.
It’s a slow song, so it’s easy to listen to.
