Chihiro Onitsuka – Meteor Shower

Speaking of stars and ballads, that’s a classic pairing, isn’t it? “Ryūseigun” (Meteor Shower), a single released in 2002 by Chihiro Onitsuka, known for songs like “Gekkō,” is a medium-tempo ballad that portrays a bittersweet love.

Fleeting moments of happiness, like meteors streaking across the sky, are woven into a classical melody.

Among “star songs,” this one is compelling for its sense of forging ahead without relying on the stars themselves.

The lyrics keep the same tone, yet from the middle, the atmosphere turns brighter.

Chihiro Onitsuka – We can go

Chihiro Onitsuka was, for a time, a scandal-prone artist who stirred up talk shows and the tabloids, but I believe her voice is a natural-born talent.

It’s truly remarkable, and it’s hard to find an artist who sounds similar.

That’s why it would make a great wake-up song.

Chihiro Onitsuka – Inori ga Kotoba ni Kawaru Koro

This is a single by Chihiro Onitsuka that was released exclusively as a digital download in May 2014.

It was written as the theme song for the film Ju-on: The Beginning of the End.

It was produced by Erik Gorfain.

Waltz with meOnitsuka Chihiro6rank/position

Chihiro Onitsuka – Waltz with Me

Watashi to Warutsu (Waltz with Me) was used as the theme song for the popular drama TRICK 3 and became her last single released under Toshiba EMI.

For those who remember that era well, many might still associate Onitsuka most strongly with her image up through this song.

It represents the quintessential Onitsuka: an indispensable early collaborator, music producer Takeshi Hanzawa’s piano arrangement, an exquisitely beautiful melody, and vocals that balance delicacy with power.

In the middle section, a waltz rhythm is employed, and in the music video, the image of Onitsuka dancing alone barefoot to that rhythm left a strong impression.

As an aside, although the title uses the kanji for “watashi” (I), in the actual lyrics she sings it as “atashi.”

Chihiro Onitsuka – Sea of Thorns

It’s a song with a fantastical atmosphere.

The second album contains many songs with that kind of beautiful vibe, but this track in particular embodies that image.

It also matches the beautiful vocals well, making it especially soothing.
