From a distant town

Miki Imai’s hidden gem “Tooi Machi Kara” (“From a Distant Town”).

Released in 2015, it remains one of her most serene and cherished masterpieces among fans.

While the song doesn’t have a particularly narrow vocal range, it can be sung throughout in a whispery style, making it easier to perform than it sounds.

It may seem like a high-pitched song, but it doesn’t require falsetto, and the higher notes can be reached smoothly by thinning the voice.

It’s recommended for those whose natural pitch is high but who struggle with vocal power.

September PeninsulaImai Miki23rank/position

Miki Imai _ September Peninsula

A track included on Miki Imai’s third original album, Bewith, which was created around a summer theme.

The lyrics are by Yuho Iwasato and the music by Chika Ueda.

With every step forward, something is lost, and even a farewell to someone precious takes place.

It’s a song that conjures the image of a woman walking along the seaside, carrying that pain in her heart.

If anything, it feels like a song for September, when the heat still lingers.

Yet instead of joyful summer memories, it portrays sorrow and sadness, making it something you’ll also want to listen to in the early autumn as the air turns chilly.

I think it’s a song that expresses a gentle, warm woman’s love.

The lyrics capture a woman’s delicate feelings very well.

Also, since the keyword “sakura” appears in the lyrics, I think it’s perfect to listen to in spring.

It’s the kind of song I want to listen to slowly while gazing at the starry night sky.

When I listen with my eyes closed, I start to feel as if I’m floating in the sky.

The piano tone is beautiful as well.

A perfect song for summer.

It’s a song with a very melancholy tone that tells a love story with a younger sailor.

It beautifully expresses the feelings of a woman who loves a man so much she wants to run away with him.

It’s the kind of love song you want to listen to when you have a lover you love so much you want to elope with them.
