This song is included on the 13th original album, “Close To You,” released in 2010.

It was chosen as the theme song for the nationwide Tokai TV/Fuji TV drama series “Hanayome Noren.” The positive lyrics—about how having someone important by your side gives you the strength to face any hardship or difficulty—mirror the drama’s story and make it a very uplifting track.

Mayo Okamoto “Lastly” Music Video

Mayo Okamoto is a female singer who was active from the 1990s through the 2000s.

In the early part of her career she specialized in gentle ballads, but recently she has also been presenting songs with a bit more edge.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Lastly.

It’s basically a piece with a narrow vocal range, and the pitch movement isn’t all that drastic.

It remains easy to sing, but there are moments where long falsetto notes appear, so you need to watch out for those.

If the key is set too low, you won’t be able to produce a solid falsetto, so it’s best to raise the key by one or two steps from your usual optimal key.

TWILIGHTMayo Okamoto20rank/position

TWILIGHT Mayo Okamoto

It’s a song included on the second album, “Pureness,” released in 1996.

The lyrics overflow with the feelings of a woman who cherishes the time spent with her boyfriend amidst the cold, wintry scenes of December.

Even if it’s just an ordinary day for him, it’s precious time for her, and her wish to keep things just as they are makes this a song brimming with love.

WILL

From the very first second, it’s sure to lift your spirits.

When you feel like crying, when your heart aches, or when you’re just worn out, please give it a listen.

As the lyrics say, when things are tough, the first step may be to stop forcing yourself to hold it in.

It’s okay to cry, and to lean on your family, friends, or partner.

This song nestles close to our hearts and makes us want to keep trying without giving up.

It’s a track from the 1997 album “Smile,” a timeless anthem of encouragement!
