Aimer – everlasting snow『Audio Version』

When it comes to the ballad queen of the Reiwa era, many people probably think of Aimer.

Among her works, the Christmas ballad I especially recommend is “everlasting snow.” The vocal range is a touch on the high side at mid2A to hiF, but it stays within a generally accessible range, and the pitch movement isn’t overly dramatic.

Overall, it’s a song that’s relatively easy to sing, but since the verses (A-melody to B-melody) feature frequent low falsetto, those who struggle with head voice might consider boldly raising the key to make the falsetto parts easier to produce.

Aimer 'Tsukikage' Lyric Video

A gem of a ballad by Aimer that portrays the delicate interplay of sorrow and hope.

The protagonist’s feelings as they walk along a moonlit path are woven into her distinctive husky voice and ethereal melody.

Included on the single “Sign,” released in August 2024, this song symbolically expresses a dialogue with a wounded heart and the process of healing.

It conveys a strength that never loses its shine, even in the darkness.

A track that stands beside those troubled by love or standing at a crossroads in life, offering quiet courage.

Aimer “March of the Petals” Starring: Mirei Sasaki (Hinatazaka46) (5th albums “Sun Dance” and “Penny Rain” released on 2019/04/10)

A spring song packed with Aimer’s whispery voice, accented delivery, and soaring high notes—her unique and one-of-a-kind worldview.

In the chorus, there’s a slightly backward-looking feeling yet a sense of rising, conveying both the bittersweetness and warmth of spring.

A Gentle BallAimer14rank/position

Aimer “Gentle Ball” Lyrics/English/Indonesian | NHK “Minna no Uta” | 25th single “SCOPE”

Set at a starlit nighttime ball, this enchanting work spins a fantastical tale.

Aimer’s husky voice blends exquisitely with the classical waltz motif, vividly portraying mysterious scenes unfolding in the stillness of the night.

Beautiful like a fairy tale yet tinged with a certain wistfulness, its world seems to mirror the feelings of a girl wavering on the boundary between dreams and reality.

Included on the single “SCOPE,” released in February 2025, and broadcast around the same time on NHK’s Minna no Uta, this piece is made all the more magical by arrangements from Ryota Nakano and Yusuke Tanaka.

It’s a song that will stay close to your heart—whether you’re spending time with friends after school in an empty classroom or lost in thought while gazing up at the night sky.

Aimer “Eclipse (Monster Siren Records - MSR)” Music Video (Game “Arknights” 6th Anniversary Theme Song)

Aimer’s “Eclipse” has lots of breathy elements and isn’t a song where you belt, so I think it’s relatively easy to sing! Like the other artists I’ve introduced so far, Aimer is also an artist whose low register is really captivating.

Compared to her signature song “Zankyosanka,” this one has fewer high notes, making the pitch easier to catch, and the song’s structure builds up gradually rather than suddenly jumping high.

The rhythm doesn’t have any particularly difficult parts either, so if you want to sing something gently and tenderly, how about “Eclipse”? Try singing softly without straining your throat!

Little BouquetAimer16rank/position

Aimer “Little Bouquet” Music Video (Japanese theme song for the film “The Legend of Hei 2”)

Singer Aimer, whose one-of-a-kind husky voice captivates countless fans.

One of the title tracks from her 27th single, “Little Bouquet / Pastoral,” was selected as the Japanese theme song for the feature film The Legend of Hei 2: The Future We Seek.

The lyrics, which wrap feelings for the future we want to protect in the metaphor of a bouquet, carry a deep emotion that lingers alongside the film’s afterglow.

Hiroaki Yokoyama’s expansive arrangement and the cinematic sound woven by piano and strings evoke warmth and poignancy at once.

It’s a dramatic ballad you’ll want to listen to when you’re thinking about the bonds you share with someone precious.

Aimer - Had I Not Met You ~Summer Snow, Winter Flower~

Singer-songwriter Aimer, known for her stylish musicality and catchy lyrics, has earned high acclaim.

Her song “Natsuyuki Fuyuka (If You Had Not Come Into My Life)” is her fourth single and was used as the ending theme for the anime Natsuyuki Rendezvous.

Although it was released early in her career, it’s a track that clearly reflects her musical identity.

Her fragile, thin, glass-like voice seeps deep into the heart.

Aimer “Beautiful World” Lyric Video

Singer-songwriter Aimer, known for her distinctive vocal style, has won widespread popularity.

In the Japanese music scene, isn’t she the queen of ballads? From her ballads, the song I especially recommend for middle schoolers is “Utsukushii Sekai” (“Beautiful World”).

It’s a classic J-pop ballad without complex melodic leaps, and the overall range is relatively narrow.

If you try to imitate Aimer’s vocal production, you might run out of breath, so try singing in your own natural style while focusing on keeping your pitch steady.

Featuring Yoshida Yō and Matsuoka Mayu as a mother and daughter, the content conveys the sense of security offered by a house built with Toyota Home through scenes of their everyday life.

The key point is that, even during the busy morning hours, the family shares smiles—reflecting Toyota Home’s desire to create a place of comfort.

Further enhancing the gentle atmosphere depicted in the footage is the song Ito, sung by Aimer.

Portraying people who support one another through life, its calm sound underscores the warmth of its message even more.
