Younger Sailor Cover Shiori Onuki

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.

Miki Imai – I Want to Be Happy (Miki Imai Concert Tour 2008)

This is a song Miki Imai released when she was young.

I think it really captures the feelings of a young woman who wishes to find happiness.

The upbeat rhythm makes it perfect for karaoke, too.

It’s a song that lets you feel like a young woman excitedly wondering what kind of romance is about to begin.

Because your eyes are smiling

The beautiful song “Hitomi ga Hohoemu Kara” by Miki Imai, with her clear, lovely voice, is one I hope you’ll listen to when you’re working hard at parenting or feeling worn out by childcare.

I think the lyrics let you once again feel that “tiny life” from when your child was born.

So even if you’re exhausted by a child who’s being demanding, the song seeps into your heart and soul with a feeling of “Thank you for being born and coming to me,” and it makes you want to hold your child tight.

It’s a highly recommended song.
