Maki Ohguro’s famous and popular songs
Let me introduce songs by Maki Ohguro, a female singer who represents the 1990s.
Maki Ohguro began her career as a singer in 1989, but at first she could only work as a backing vocalist for other artists and endured a difficult apprenticeship period.
She made her solo debut in 1992 with “STOP MOTION,” but it reportedly didn’t sell very well.
However, her second single, “DA・KA・RA,” became a major hit, and from there she advanced on the path to becoming a popular singer.
Her powerful vocal ability—one of her greatest charms—may well be the result of those years of groundwork.
Now, please listen to the songs of Maki Ohguro, an artist with an overwhelming vocal presence.

Mama foreverDaikoku Maki
It’s a song of gratitude from a daughter to her widowed mother.
As the daughter grew up, the mother likely felt at last a weight lifted from her shoulders and may have said words to the effect that her life’s role was now complete.
The grown daughter, however, sings of how immense her mother’s presence is to her and, as a filial tribute, invites her to keep enjoying life together like sisters.
