Kumi Koda — “Aisho (Proof of Love)” ~ 20th Year Special Full Ver. ~

This is Kumi Koda’s 35th single, released in March 2007.

It was issued as a double A-side with the coupling track “BUT,” and the title track “Aishou” served as the theme song for the NTV drama “Ai no Rukenchi” (The Prisoner of Love).

The lyrics were written by Kumi Koda herself, reportedly from the perspective of the drama’s protagonist.

True to Koda’s appeal—her slightly husky voice—the vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, and while the tempo is somewhat slow, it’s not so slow as to make it hard to sing.

That makes it a song the general public can choose at karaoke and still aim for a high score.

There are parts—especially around portions of the chorus—where you need to switch to falsetto, so practice making that transition smoothly.
