Kyoko Koizumi – I'm Glad I Met You (Official Video)

Kyoko Koizumi, an idol who was hugely active from the late ’80s through the ’90s.

Her song “Anata ni Aete Yokatta” was released in 1992, and from around this track she began putting out increasingly original, distinctive songs.

This work emphasizes catchiness, featuring a very singable vocal line throughout.

In particular, the range—mid1 G# to hi B—is quite narrow for a female song, so as long as you adjust the key, it should be easy for singers of any voice type to perform.
