You can’t help but feel your heart skip a beat at the way Aya Matsuura’s cute voice portrays a girl who’s giving her all in love! No matter your gender, many of us have probably changed our fashion to match the taste of someone we like, wishing, “Don’t look away—just keep your eyes on me!” When you think about it calmly, things like getting absorbed in your phone while talking or following someone who just passed by with your eyes aren’t a big deal, but when you’re in love, they strangely start to bother you.

If you haven’t felt the thrill of romance lately, why not sing this song and flip on your inner love switch?

A classic love song that irresistibly captures missed connections and aching tenderness through exchanges over cell phone emails.

The anxiety of no reply, the frustration of feelings not getting through, and emotions overflowing—set against the backdrop of the flip-phone era, it delicately portrays the subtle emotional swings of a girl in love.

The melody crafted by Tsunku perfectly weaves brightness with poignancy, and Matsuura’s transparent voice—she was just 15 at the time—pierces the heart.

Released in September 2001, the single reached No.

3 on the Oricon weekly chart, and at year’s end she took on the major role of opening act in her first appearance at the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

When you want to shed tears over love’s fragility, give it a listen.

“So Ie Ba,” a song by Aya Matsuura included on the 2002 album First KISS.

As time passes in a relationship, arguments tend to increase, and the long phone calls and casual chats you had at the beginning start to fade, don’t they? In this song, a woman who feels a growing distance from her partner admits she still loves him; although they’ve fought, she hopes they can make up and spend time together again like they did when they first started dating.

A classic song set in Osaka that sings of a bittersweet love.

The lyrics, woven with regional dialect, stir a sense of nostalgia.

The feelings of a woman reflecting on memories with a former lover are expressed through a warm, heartfelt vocal.

Released in December 2011, the track is included on Aya Matsuura’s best-of album “Aya Matsuura 10TH ANNIVERSARY BEST,” commemorating the 10th anniversary of her career.

It was also used as the theme song for the ABC Asahi Broadcasting drama “Sakura to Satsuki,” which aired in April of the same year.

It’s a perfect song not only for those from the Kansai region, but for anyone who cherishes memories with someone special.

This is the 17th single by singer Aya Matsuura, who made her debut after passing the “4th Morning Musume & Michiyo Heike Little Sister Audition.” Originally a roughly 30-second piece created for a commercial, the song was used in Kirin Beverage’s “Gogo no Kocha” (Afternoon Tea) TV ad.

Due to the strong response to the commercial, a full-length version was produced.

The contrast between the rock‑tinged guitar over a refreshing arrangement and her cute vocals is exquisite.

It’s a catchy number with a melody that lingers in your ears and a pleasantly nostalgic atmosphere.
