Kaela Kimura “HOLIDAYS”

Kaela Kimura’s 23rd single feels like bottling the weekend’s exhilaration into music.

Released in May 2017, the track was written as the theme song for the JRA’s annual “HOT HOLIDAYS!” promotional campaign.

According to Kimura herself, she conceived each day from Monday to Sunday as a different color, layering them into a rainbow as the basis for the lyrics.

The driving, high-velocity melody brims with the thrill of bolting toward a long-awaited day off.

It’s the perfect tune to play on a pre-race drive to the track or while getting ready for a weekend outing—guaranteed to send your excitement soaring.

Kaela Kimura “8EIGHT8”

The title track from Kaela Kimura’s sixth major-label album, released in 2011.

It’s got a cool, rock-driven vibe that deliberately sets aside her usual cuteness, which makes it all the more striking.

By the way, “8EIGHT8” isn’t meant to signify good luck in the sense of an ever-expanding eight; it’s sung as a spider that eats the monsters in everyone’s hearts.

It’s a song that showcases her creative power as an artist, with an energy that doesn’t make you think it’s her first album after giving birth.
