(They Long to Be)Close to YouIkuta Rira26rank/position

In the commercial for the Google Pixel 4a featuring Nana Komatsu, the song used is “(They Long to Be) Close to You,” also famously performed by the Carpenters.

The vocalist is Rira Ikuta, who is also active as the singer of YOASOBI.

Unlike YOASOBI’s otherworldly aesthetic, her performance here has a natural vibe.

The chic, jazz-tinged arrangement and the way she strums the guitar while singing in the CM feel fresh, too! It seems this arrangement is Ikuta’s own original take.

Ikuta Lilas (Lilas Ikuta) “’17” Lyrics [Kan_Rom_Eng]

The song ’17’ opens the 1st mini-album ‘Rerise.’ The contrast between the ensemble consisting solely of acoustic guitar strumming and the lyrics that evoke striving to be a one-and-only self—even if no one understands you—is powerful.

While there are many challenging parts, such as the dizzyingly shifting melody speeds and the appearance of high falsetto notes, it also features sections with melodies that proceed at a steady pitch, so once you’ve got it down, it feels great to sing.

The vocal range isn’t that wide either, so if you set the key to suit your voice, it should be a number that’s easy to sing at karaoke.

Lila Ikuta’s “Latata” was released in 2025 and was used in a Yamazaki Baking Lunch Pack commercial featuring Fuka Koshiba.

Its bouncy rhythm and layered vocals are striking, and their refreshing lightness conveys a positive message.

The lyrics depict the everyday scenes around us and the connections between people, offering encouragement to move forward just as we are.

The commercial straightforwardly shows Fuka Koshiba enjoying a Lunch Pack, with visuals that portray the joy that comes from its delicious taste.

Rira Ikuta, known as the vocalist of YOASOBI and firmly established as a solo artist, released this work in October 2025.

It was written specifically as the required track for LOVE Dan 2026, a high school dance video contest hosted by Nippon TV’s DayDay.

The lyrics, which portray the conflicts and anxieties that arise while chasing dreams and hopes, resonate with today’s high school students.

It’s a pop anthem you’ll want to listen to when you need the strength to move forward into tomorrow.

The song “Omajinai” opens the second mini-album Jukebox.

Its contrast between a driving rock sound and a clear, transparent vocal, together with refreshing lyrics, really lifts the mood.

With its simple melody and narrow vocal range, it’s an easy song to sing, but be careful—there are many spots where it’s easy to slip off pitch, such as the leaps into falsetto.

Since the melody isn’t all that fast relative to the ensemble’s tempo, it’s a pop tune you should be able to sing with some breathing room.
