Maki Daikoku - The Platinum Ticket.mp4

I love this song.

It’s a gentle love ballad that really draws you in.

Listening to it is so heartrending it makes me cry.

The high notes are beautiful, and the voice is so lovely.

It’s one of those rare masterpieces that moves you this much.

If I could hear it sung right in front of me, I’d be completely overwhelmed.

Sora (2020 Remastered)

Released in 1997 and used as the first opening theme for the TV anime “Chuuka Ichiban!”, Sora features lyrics that carry the message, “You only live once—why not try living the way you want?” The song is memorable for Maki Ohguro’s vocals, which, while powerful, also convey warmth.

Although there are some falsetto high notes, the overall range isn’t very wide, making it relatively easy to sing compared to many of Maki Ohguro’s other songs.

If the key feels too high and strenuous, try lowering the key so you can comfortably handle the modulation in the latter half.

[Music Video] Rain Then Rainbow Colors — The Loose Dogs & Maki Ohguro

A collaboration track with The Loose Dogs that was also used as an anime ending theme.

It’s a song that evokes a refreshing sense of youth.

The melody is very beautiful, easy to sing, and easy to listen to.

There’s a solo section in the latter half, and it’s really good with a cool-sounding voice.

Before it snowsDaikoku Maki32rank/position

Yuki Ga Furu Mae Ni

A heartfelt desire to go see a loved one before the snow falls resonates at the core of this 2001 work.

The poetic world—unique to Maki Ohguro, who hails from Hokkaido—captures the feelings just before heavy snowfall, delicately expressing the protagonist’s emotions of missed connections, regret, and loneliness.

Over its more-than-six-minute length, the dramatic structure truly moves the heart.

The song was used as the theme for the TBS drama “Kochira Daisan Shakaibu,” and it peaked at No.

18 on the Oricon charts.

It’s a superb ballad that offers comfort to those longing to see someone far away or those who feel a sense of nostalgia with the arrival of winter.

U.Be.LoveDaikoku Maki33rank/position

U. Be Love (2019 Remastered)

It’s an upbeat pop number that’s so typical of Daikoku-neesan.

Although it portrays an adult romance, it’s really uplifting.

I used to listen to it a lot on my way home from school.

It feels great to sing it out loud.

It’s a bit of a deep cut, but it’s cool in a way that’s very her.

UnbalanceDaikoku Maki34rank/position

Unbalance (2020 Remastered)

It’s a very nostalgic number.

The high notes in the chorus are tough.

It’s got a great groove, so it always gets the crowd going at karaoke.

The melody is so good that it’s stayed with me all this time.

It reminds me of practicing over and over with my friends back then and singing together.

It makes me want to go back to those days.

I’m only gazing at you.Daikoku Maki35rank/position

I'm only gazing at you.

For the sake of the one she loves, she works hard at cooking and keeps her hairstyle and clothes modest—overflowing with girlish feelings.

It’s a love song where you can almost see hearts everywhere.

Maki Ohguro once took a break from her singing career to undergo medical treatment, but although she may not be completely cured, she resumed her activities around 2014 when recovery seemed likely.

That’s wonderful to hear.
