Ayumi Hamasaki / TO BE

Released in May 1999 as Ayumi Hamasaki’s eighth single, this work reached a peak position of No.

4 on the Oricon chart.

Beneath its dazzling, pop-infused sound lies a philosophical message that steps back to observe the self and questions the meaning of life.

It was featured in JT’s “Momo no Tennen-sui” commercial, and many may remember the ad in which Hamasaki herself appeared.

Later included on the acclaimed album LOVEppears, this track is one that stays by your side on nights when you quietly face yourself at a crossroads in life.

Ayumi Hamasaki / fairyland (Short Ver.)

Ayumi Hamasaki’s classic “fairyland.” Because it’s a very upbeat song, many women in their 30s may avoid it thinking it’s too high, but surprisingly the vocal range isn’t that wide; it stays within mid1F to hiD.

What makes it easy to sing isn’t just that—the tempo is slightly slow at BPM 112, and the pitch movement is fairly consistent.

If you carefully track the pitch, you can aim for a high score at karaoke without any issues, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
