Glass HighwayD.O.A.
“Glass Highway” is doa’s 10th single.
Before its release, it was featured on the music program Music Station and the morning information show Mezamashi TV.
It became doa’s best-selling single, reaching No.
7 on the Oricon daily chart and No.
14 on the weekly chart.
Mascara lashesDREAMS COME TRUE
The title is very cute, but it’s a heartbreaking song about a girl who wants to look beautiful at least at the very end, only to end up with mascara smudged by tears and a ruined face.
The way those unrequited feelings are sung so breezily over a light, upbeat rhythm is truly impressive.
It once again reminds me of Miwa Yoshida’s power.
GoodbyeGAO
When it comes to GAO, what immediately comes to mind is the reaction at the time of debut: the enigmatic persona drew attention and was so mysterious that fans even debated whether they were male or female.
Their song was used as the opening theme for the drama “Suteki ni Damashite!” and they achieved a million seller, with total sales of 1.23 million copies on the charts.
They were such a pop artist that they even performed at the 43rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
ClassicJUDY AND MARY
This song feels incredibly good, with sections that build excitement more and more leading up to the pre-chorus, and a chorus that comes in beautifully and naturally.
YUKI’s charismatic, mellow singing style evokes a truly heartrending emotion.
The track length and the chorus repeats are both satisfying—this is what you’d call a masterpiece.
The song “Omedetou” is included as a coupling track, and it’s a masterpiece too!

Sa Yo Na Raglobe
The lyrics are by Tetsuya Komuro and MARC, and of course the music and arrangement are by Tetsuya Komuro.
You could call it a golden ratio.
It’s a song that never loses its luster, and KEIKO’s vocals are truly excellent.
If only just once more, I’d love to hear it performed live.
It’s unquestionably a track that brilliantly conveys the feelings of a heartbroken girl; the poignant lyrics, KEIKO’s beautiful voice, and Komuro’s distinctive worldview are a perfect match.
TokyoKetsumeishi
“Tokyo” is a song by Ketsumeishi, a four-member male hip-hop group.
It portrays leaving one’s hometown to start a job in Tokyo, conveying both the heartache of parting from a loved one to head for the city and the complex mix of feelings between that sadness and the fresh determination to forge ahead in Tokyo.
Miss You ~Don’t Forget~Hattan Amika
This person, Amika Hattan, was actually born into a showbiz family.
Perhaps talent really is inherited.
Her special skill is classical ballet, and her given name, Amika, carries her mother’s gentle wish for her to “safely head into the future like a fruit.” To top it off, her grandfather is Fuji Hattan, a lyricist and director of the Japan Poets’ Club, and her mother is the singer Tomiko Hatta.
To drive the point home, her uncle is the lyricist Hitomi Aoe—she was truly born into an entertainment family.
