Takako Matsu – Let It Go ~Ari no mama de~ (From “Frozen”)

This song is by Takako Matsu, a female singer who also has a wide-ranging acting career and holds the stage name Matsumoto Koka I of the Matsumoto school of Japanese dance as a certified performer.

She voiced Elsa in the Japanese version of the Disney film Frozen, and her performance of the character’s song in the movie has been highly praised not only in Japan but overseas as well.

While the song features large melodic leaps in the chorus and other parts, its relaxed tempo makes it possible to sing steadily without going off pitch.

The piece unfolds with a dramatic, film-like progression, and because children tend to learn it faster than adults along with the movie, it’s a number you can enjoy while aiming for a high score.

Into the Unknown ~ Follow Your Heart - HANDSIGN with Hana

Frozen has lots of wonderful songs that kids want to imitate.

The sequel’s theme song, Into the Unknown, is a more mature piece sung by Elsa! Rather than a track for moving your body rhythmically, it’s recommended when you want to nurture expressive ability.

A dance that incorporates sign language is educational for adults as well.

Sayaka Kanda, Takako Matsu – For the First Time in Forever (From “Frozen”)

A musical number by Sayaka Kanda and Takako Matsu that enjoys overwhelming popularity even among Disney works.

Many of you reading this may have found yourselves humming it as children.

The lively back-and-forth between the two shines in “For the First Time in Forever.” Included on the Japanese soundtrack released in March 2014, it colored a pivotal scene in the film Frozen where the sisters’ feelings intersect.

Blending anticipation and anxiety, the song captivates with conversational lyrics and a dramatic progression.

It’s great to tackle solo, but splitting parts with a friend will surely make it even more exciting! Lifting your facial muscles helps you project your voice more easily, so try becoming the story’s protagonist as you sing.

Takako Matsu – When Spring Comes Tomorrow

This is Takako Matsu’s debut single, released in March 1997.

Since her main career is as an actress—and perhaps because this is her debut song—the melody and tempo are very approachable, making it easy to hum along to.

I think it’s also one of the best choices for karaoke for those who aren’t particularly confident singers.

There are a few spots in the pre-chorus that require slightly higher notes, so be mindful of the key when you actually sing it.

If you imagine a calm spring afternoon while singing, you’ll probably be able to express it nicely.

Tomorrow, When Spring Comes (Takako Matsu) / Kazusa Heal Voice Ver.

For many women in their 40s, Takako Matsu is someone to look up to.

Her song “Ashita, Haru ga Kitara” was her debut single, released in 1997.

Since she was already active as a top actress at the time, the song became quite popular.

If you sing it at karaoke while sharing your memories from back then, it’s sure to be a hit!

Midwinter Memories

This classic winter song from the late ’90s was released in November 1997 as actress Takako Matsu’s fourth single.

Its lyrics delicately portray changes in relationships and a wistful longing for the past, leaving a strong impression, and the warm composition reminds us of the bonds with our loved ones even amid busy days.

Despite having no tie-in, its first performance at the FNS Music Festival still feels fresh in our memory.

Takako Matsu’s clear, translucent voice and the gentle melody make it a track that warms the heart in the cold season.

It might be the perfect song for creating winter memories with someone special.

Takako Matsu, AURORA – Into the Unknown ~ Follow Your Heart (Frozen 2 MV Full Version)

This is a song that delicately portrays Elsa’s emotions: “Into the Unknown.” Her inner conflict and courage as she resolves to venture into an unfamiliar world are powerfully expressed through Takako Matsu’s dynamic vocals.

The collaboration with AURORA further heightens the song’s ethereal atmosphere.

Featured in Frozen 2 and sung by Takako Matsu as Elsa, it enriches a pivotal scene in the film.

Why not listen quietly on a winter night? It might awaken the spirit of adventure that sleeps within you.
