The way home

Hiromi Iwasaki’s classic “Ieji” (The Way Home).

Her voice has had a pleasantly mature timbre since her youth, and it particularly shines in lyrical songs like this.

The song’s range spans mid1 E to hi C#, which is fairly common for female vocals.

The tail end of the chorus requires a bit of lung capacity, so be sure to take a deep breath at the preceding break point before singing through it.

This section has a similar vibe to Shizuka Kudo’s “Koi Hitoyo,” so intentionally singing with a lighter touch can also work well.

sentimental

A definitive coming-of-age love song performed by Hiromi Iwasaki, one of the leading female singers of the 1970s.

At just 17, Iwasaki’s powerful yet delicate voice beautifully mirrors and expresses a young girl’s budding feelings of love.

With its lively rhythm and memorable melody, the song charmingly captures the shy excitement and anxious flutter of a girl awakening to romance—standing taller in high heels, curling her hair, and trying to seem grown-up.

Released in October 1975, it topped the Oricon charts and became a massive hit following her debut single “Romance.” As a quintessential anthem of the golden age of Showa-era kayōkyoku, it remains beloved by many to this day.
