Lecca’s iconic and popular songs
Let me introduce songs by lecca, a female reggae singer active since 2000.
She made her major debut in 2006 and broke through with the 2009 release “For You.”
She also garnered attention when her song was used as the theme for the TV drama “GiNE: Women of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department,” starring Norika Fujiwara.
Her appeal likely lies in the kindness and warmth woven into her lyrics.
By the way, she’s from Tokyo and is said to be a fan of the Yakult Swallows.
Now, please enjoy lecca’s tracks in this playlist.
Lecca’s best and most popular songs (1–10)
For Youlecca
It’s a single released on March 4, 2009.
The song was created by collecting messages from the audience on the theme of “feelings for someone important.” It became a message song that honestly expresses the feelings you want to convey but can’t, giving listeners a gentle push forward.
Friendlecca
Even if they were born and raised differently or have different “types,” there are friends who somehow just click, right? lecca’s song “Friend” celebrates that irreplaceable bond.
It’s a warm number that lets you feel the ties between people while acknowledging differences.
It’s included on her major-label debut mini-album “Dreamer,” released in April 2006.
Rather than a dramatic tearjerker, its down-to-earth way of expressing gratitude resonated with listeners.
How about singing it at karaoke when you reunite with an old friend, or sending cheers to friends far away?
My measurelecca
This is lecca’s second single, released on November 18, 2009.
It was used as the theme song for the drama “Guine: Obstetricians.” lecca’s distinct, reggae-tinged and powerful vocal style further highlights the message of the song.
Crimson Skylecca
It’s a bright, mood-lifting reggae-pop song released in 2009.
The reading is “Kurenai Zora.” After the cute, charming piano intro, it shifts into an A-melody with an addictive reggae rhythm, and the chorus is so catchy it sticks in your head and makes you want to sing along.
DEARlecca
This is a single released by lecca in 2006.
It is said that she wrote the song for Muu-chan, a cat she had cherished like a younger brother and had been with since her third year of high school for 17 years.
It’s a gentle, modest piece that wishes happiness for the cat who has gone on to another world.
Reaching Youlecca
Included on the 2010 album “Power Butterfly.” This song tells you there’s no need to put on a brave face or push yourself too hard.
Its lyrics, which remind you that being yourself is what matters, resonate with anyone who’s doing their best—a true classic.
It’s a track I especially recommend to those who want to walk with their heads held high.
Day of Tearslecca
It’s a bittersweet yet uplifting breakup song released in 2013.
The realistic lyrics, densely packed into the beat, are likely to resonate with anyone who’s been through something similar.
The bright, forward-moving feel before the chorus is especially memorable.
In Timelecca
Included on the 2008 album “City Caravan.” A warm number that sings of feelings for the person you want by your side, and the one who’s always there for you.
It reflects on how, if even a few things had been different, you might never have met, and it expresses gratitude for that meeting—warming the heart.
First Sight feat. Daichi Miuralecca
This is a track from the album “Hakobune ~ballads in me~,” released on March 9, 2011.
It was apparently written with Daichi Miura in mind, and it sings about his passion and disciplined attitude.
lecca’s powerful vocals and Daichi Miura’s clear, transparent voice match perfectly and sound really cool.
The Time of Departurelecca
It’s a slightly mellow number that fills you with the energy to feel ready to try again from tomorrow.
Even when I was going through hard times, listening to this song by lecca on the way home lifted my spirits.
I heard in an interview somewhere that Tabidachi no Toki originally had the working title ‘dear little bear.’
