aiko - “Andromeda” music video

When you’ve been together for a long time, there are inevitably moments when the spark fades.

The song I’d like you to listen to at such times is “Andromeda.” Singer-songwriter aiko, who delivers love songs from every perspective, released it in 2003, and it was featured in a commercial for Glico Dairy’s “Café au Lait.” Alongside the jazzy sound she excels at, a classical arrangement resounds.

Many listeners will relate to the relationship between two people portrayed with the motif of “constellations.” Why not listen to this heartbreak song that sings of a loved one’s presence and rekindle your affection for your partner?

Capsuleaiko37rank/position

aiko - 'Capsule' music video

Compared to aiko’s other songs, “Capsule” is characterized by a melody that doesn’t move much, making it a song where you can follow the tune straightforwardly.

It seems that aiko herself has commented to that effect.

As you listen, the sections sung softly in head voice at the beginning gradually shift to an emotional chest voice toward the latter half.

In the first half, it might be good to relax and sing gently and lightly.

Also, the very end of this song features a long sustained note.

It’s the moment when the emotion is at its peak, so it’s a part I’d love for you to sing comfortably in chest voice.

The sustained vowel is “o.” Since “o” makes it easy to open the throat and pronounce, there shouldn’t be any problem as long as you take a good breath and prepare before you start singing.

Send the breath flying far into the distance!

aiko - “Shiawase” music video

A number by singer-songwriter aiko that straightforwardly sings of overflowing happiness.

The lyrics, which make you realize that the ordinary days spent with your lover are the true treasure, beautifully portray the preciousness of mutual love.

Listen to it under the gentle summer sunlight, and it feels as if your heart fills with the tenderness right beside you.

Released in May 2007 as her 21st single and also included on the album “Himitsu,” the song became widely known for being performed at the 58th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen that same year.

It drew attention at the time as well, with the B-side being used in a commercial.

It’s a heartwarming song about mutual love that we especially want those in the midst of a happy romance to hear.

aiko - “Melon Soda” (from “Love Like Pop vol.23” NHK Hall, 2023.9.27)

This is a song by aiko that delicately depicts the flow of time and changes in relationships felt with the arrival of spring.

It was produced in 2019 as the spring campaign song for FM802’s 30th anniversary, with the special unit “Radio Darlings,” featuring a lineup of renowned artists, handling the vocals.

Through its unique expressions and melodies, it weaves emotions that arise in everyday life and resonates deeply with listeners.

In March 2021, a self-cover version was included on aiko’s album “Doushitatte Tsutaerarenai kara.” It’s a recommended track for those starting a new chapter in life or anyone who wants to feel the spring season.

Mikuni Stationaiko40rank/position

aiko - “Sangoku Station” music video

It evokes a certain nostalgia, contrasting youthful love from student days with a clumsy kind of romance where, despite being unable to be honest, the feelings only grow larger.

It was her 17th single overall, released in 2005.

Mikuni Station is on the Hankyu Takarazuka Line in Yodogawa Ward, Osaka City, and it’s one stop before Shonai Station—the nearest station to Osaka College of Music Junior College, from which Aiko herself graduated.

It’s a slightly bittersweet song that has Aiko reminiscing about love from her student days.

It carries a somewhat bluesy vibe—perfect for winter!
