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 ~ As My Heart LeadsMatsu Takako9rank/position

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.

Takako Matsu - Sakura no Ame, Itsuka

Takako Matsu’s clear singing voice vividly paints a spring scene filled with fluttering cherry blossoms.

The sorrow of parting and the hope of reunion are conveyed through delicate lyrics and melody.

When you want to feel both the wistfulness and hope that come with the arrival of spring, try listening to it while watching the cherry blossoms.

Tomorrow, When Spring Comes – Takako Matsu (High Quality / With Lyrics)

Takako Matsu has appeared in numerous masterpieces as an actress and found success as an artist as well.

Although she hasn’t been particularly active as an artist recently since Frozen, women in their 40s likely watched her at the exact time she was thriving as a musical artist.

Ashita, Haru ga Kitara is a classic from the period when Takako Matsu was enjoying major success as an artist.

Arranged as a simple pop song reminiscent of Kiroro, it features a chorus with a slightly higher range; however, the vocal line is generally easy, with rhythms and melodies that are straightforward to follow.

One bread, please.Matsu Takako12rank/position

One bread, please.

A number by Takako Matsu that portrays the complex feelings after spending a night with someone you love.

At dawn, after her beloved confesses and she finally accepts those feelings, the protagonist makes tea and eats just a single piece of bread.

That simple meal conveys a tangle of emotions—guilt, irrepressible joy, and sudden emptiness—and it’s heartbreakingly poignant.

Featured on the October 2003 album “harvest songs,” the piece is distinguished by its gentle jazz-waltz melody and Matsu’s clear, lullaby-like voice.

When you’re struggling with unrequited love, listening alone at daybreak will surely resonate.

Why not use this song to quietly take another look at your own feelings?

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

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