Speaking of Aya Matsuura, she’s an idol whose upbeat personality won over audiences at home.

Her debut song, “Momoiro Kataomoi” (“Pink Unrequited Love”), as the title suggests, is a lively anthem about having a crush.

If you read the lyrics closely, though, they’re actually quite heartbreaking.

Please listen with that in mind.

Aya Matsuura – Before I Knew It, You [PV]

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.

It was released in 2007 as Aya Matsuura’s 19th single.

The song was originally written by Yumi Tanimura as the ending theme for the 15-hour year-end special program “Seisou” on the CS news channel Nippon TV NEWS24 in 2006, but Matsuura covered it and released it as the channel’s image song.

It’s a warm song that brings a gentle smile.

This commercial for Nestlé’s “Nescafé Excella,” with Aya Matsuura’s striking vocals, seems to embody the brand concept of “A spring in your step.” It also drew major attention because it marked Aya Matsuura’s first commercial appearance in about 11 years.

The refreshing visuals, with her bathed in light, also feel like they convey the product’s refreshing quality.

The original song sung by Aya Matsuura, “Hazumu Kimochi” (A Bouncy Feeling), is another highlight.

The song further emphasizes the image of a bright, uplifting taste that encourages a positive mindset and aims to support the fun of everyday life.

Aya Matsuura – 100 Kisses [Music Video]

A classic song by Aya Matsuura, who single-handedly supported what was once called an idol drought.

Lyrics and composition by Tsunku, the producer behind Hello! Project.

As with his Sharam Q era works, Tsunku consistently pursues a “purity as a human being,” and his lyrics are nothing short of exquisite! The way he so precisely hits the points that delight listeners is a testament to Tsunku’s unique skill.

Also, pay attention to the teenage Aya Matsuura delivering a line like “Say you love me as many times as we’ve kissed”!

Aya Matsuura is one of the iconic idols of the 2000s.

She has many upbeat, quintessentially idol-like songs, and for those whose youth was in that era, her music likely feels nostalgic and energizing.

Her song “GOOD BYE Natsuo” is her 10th single, released in 2003.

It’s a track that sings about a so-called “summer fling,” with a summery feel in both its digital sound and lyrics.

You can also sense a certain “strength” in the way she rolls her Rs when she sings.
