Let's Count Your Kisses – Yuki Koyanagi (Full)

This is the debut single by Yuki Koyanagi, a singer who drew attention for her powerful and emotional voice that seemed beyond her teenage years at the time.

Backed by numerous tie-ins—including serving as the theme song for the TV anime Reign: The Conqueror—it became a long-running hit despite being her first release.

The key change in the final chorus adds an even deeper sense of poignancy; for those in their thirties, who are of the same generation, it may well overlap with memories of their youth.

It’s a wistful number, and the anecdote that it was recorded right after her own heartbreak makes perfect sense.

Yuki Koyanagi - Affection

Yuki Koyanagi is best known for soaring to fame with the massive hit “Anata no Kisu wo Kazoemashou,” and she has continued to release many songs about love since.

This track, “Aijou” (Affection), is literally a song about love as well.

However, it doesn’t just portray a simple man–woman relationship; it conveys a vibe and a sense of destiny, like comrades moving forward together.

Even in a wounded, fragile reality that feels like it could fall apart, the song powerfully depicts a woman who believes only in your love and keeps going.

It’s a high-impact number—one to listen to when you’re feeling down and lacking energy!

[Official] Yuki Koyanagi “be alive” (Music Video) YUKI KOYANAGI (5th single) [Oricon No. 1]

This was Yuki Koyanagi’s fifth single, released in July 2000.

From her debut, Koyanagi has been highly praised for her vocal ability, and that powerful technique and expressiveness are fully on display in this song as well.

While many singers tackle high notes using falsetto or mixed voice (which, of course, are advanced techniques in their own right), she delivers soaring high tones confidently with a powerful chest voice.

It’s remarkable how rarely her pitch goes flat.

If you’re confident in your singing and vocal control, definitely try this one at karaoke.

Yuki Koyanagi REMAIN

It was released in 2000 as Yuki Koyanagi’s 10th single.

The lyrics were written by Yuki Koyanagi, and it was used as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “How Long Will You Be Off Love?”.

Let’s Count Your Kisses ~You were mine~Koyanagi Yuki5rank/position

[Official] Yuki Koyanagi “Let’s Count Your Kisses ~You were mine~” (Music Video) / Anatano Kiss wo Kazoemashou (1st Single)

This is the song Yuki Koyanagi debuted with in 1999, and I think it’s a ballad everyone admires.

Some of you might have listened to this track on repeat, right? Even if you think you’re tone-deaf, songs you’ve listened to a lot tend to stick in your memory, so when you actually sing them, you’ll often find you can surprisingly stay on pitch! So don’t be afraid to give it a try.

The A and B sections sit in a relatively calm range, but the pitch jumps up quickly from the chorus into the C section, so it feels great if you adjust the key to one that’s comfortable for you and sing the English parts too.

The accompaniment is solid, so you should still be able to sing it coolly even if you lower the key.

Overall, there’s no need to belt—sing with a light touch, keeping a head-voice feel in mind, and give it a try.

Yuki Koyanagi – Lovin’ You (Live)

Lovin’ You, released as Yuki Koyanagi’s 13th single, also served as the song for Kao’s “Essential Damage Care” commercial.

Even if you’ve never seen the ad, doesn’t it sound somehow familiar? That’s because this track is a cover of “Dance of the Hours” from Act 3 of La Gioconda by Italian opera composer Amilcare Ponchielli.

Her smooth, gentle vocals melt into the classical melody.

It’s the perfect song to relax to on a leisurely afternoon.

Love / can’t hold me backKoyanagi Yuki7rank/position

[Official] Yuki Koyanagi “can’t hold me back” (Music Video) YUKI KOYANAGI [4th single (double A-side)]

Among many female artists, if you’re looking for a truly soulful voice, I think she’s the one.

If you care about vocal power and tone, I recommend this song.

It ranked 26th on the annual singles chart and became a big hit, selling 710,000 copies.

remain ~ The Key to the HeartKoyanagi Yuki8rank/position

[Official] Yuki Koyanagi “remain ~ Key to the Heart” (MV) YUKI KOYANAGI / remain - Kokoro no Kagi (10th single)

It seems this was the theme song for the TBS drama “How Many Years Will You Take a Break from Love?” and was performed at the 52nd NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

The arrangement highlights Yuki Koyanagi’s signature combination of a rich tone and delicate vibrato, so it’s highly recommended as a practice piece for vibrato.

The overall vocal range is G3–D5, and the song builds toward the latter half.

Since there are many sustained notes, singing with a lingering resonance will make it easier to apply vibrato.

Also, while Yuki Koyanagi’s voice is powerful, try not to overstrain; use ample breath and aim to resonate through your body when you produce sound.

Let’s Count Your Kisses ~You Were Mine~Koyanagi Yuki9rank/position

Let’s Count Your Kisses / Yuki Koyanagi (with lyrics) covered by SKYzART

Released as Yuki Koyanagi’s debut single, it became a huge hit.

Chosen as the theme song for the WOWOW-broadcast anime The Reign: The Conqueror (Alexander Senki), it enjoyed a long run on the charts.

The song evokes the regret and nostalgic memories that surface after parting with someone you love, and its powerful, moving vocals make it a truly outstanding track.

Yuki Koyanagi – Sunflower

Yuki Koyanagi is a singer who captivates with overwhelming vocal power, led by hit songs like “Anata no Kiss o Kazoemashō ~You were mine~.” “Himawari” is a single released in 2013.

Chosen as the theme song for the film “Bakushin: Nagasaki no Sora,” the track features lyrics written by Koyanagi herself and sings of the preciousness of life.

The words, made even more weighty by her clear, translucent vocals, resonate deep in the heart.

Its message, as if linking earnest wishes, is layered with the strength of a sunflower standing tall and straight.
