YOU DON’T GIVE UPKahara Tomomi

YOU DON’T GIVE UP (single Mix)

A gentle, heartwarming single by Tomomi Kahala where piano and strings softly embrace the listener—her tenth single.

Originally a recut from the acclaimed 1997 album “storytelling,” it was released as a single in April 1998.

The song’s appeal lies in its warm message of encouragement, as if gently nudging someone you care about forward.

Kahala’s vocals express this with delicate yet resolute strength.

It was also featured in a Kanebo Cosmetics commercial and reached No.

7 on the Oricon weekly chart.

It’s the kind of anthem that gives you the courage to face tomorrow, whether you want to cheer someone on or need support when you feel like you might falter yourself.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure, plus loveKimura Kaera

Kimura Kaela / Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Pleasure plus Love

The sharp guitar sound from the intro is striking.

This 2011 single, her first after giving birth, is a rock tune that, true to its title, impressively lays out an aggressive message about various emotions—joy, anger, and more—and about love.

Rather than a “quiet” love song, it’s one of “motion,” expressing Kaela Kimura’s unique vision of love in a cool way.

I’m in awe of the boldness of putting a poppy title up front while pursuing something like the vital force at the root of affection and of the full range of human emotions.
