It feels as if your heart gently unravels to a tender guide to love, sung over a breezy sound that makes you feel the trade winds of Hawaii.

Everyone has moments in love when they worry, lose confidence, or don’t know what to do, right? This song stays close to those feelings and gives you a push, telling you it’s okay to be yourself.

Delivered in Mariya Takeuchi’s warm voice, its message—to find happiness by walking your own path—soaks into the heart.

Released in June 2014, some may remember it as the theme song for the film “My Hawaiian Discovery.” The masterpiece “TRAD,” on which it was later included, won the Best Album Award at the 56th Japan Record Awards.

This is one of Mariya Takeuchi’s signature numbers, evoking the glittering nights of the big city.

It’s included on her sixth album, VARIETY, released in 1984.

Her husband, Tatsuro Yamashita, handled the arrangement and production, crafting a track that delivers a superb city-pop sound.

Looking at the lyrics, they portray the loneliness of a woman who has lost true love; she pretends it’s just a casual fling, yet her heart remains unfulfilled.

The contrast with the glamorous sound is deeply moving.

It’s a classic that feels perfect for adding a stylish touch to everyday moments, like a drive or a slightly grown-up café time.

A spring song brimming with Mariya Takeuchi’s charm, depicting the fresh exhilaration of a budding romance.

The natural brilliance that colors the city further heightens the feelings of that moment you fall in love.

It gently captures the buoyant, fluttery sensation of an unexpected, delightful encounter arriving at just the right time.

Released in February 1980, the song reached No.

3 on the Oricon chart.

Chosen for Shiseido’s spring campaign and enhanced by Mitsuo Hagita’s light, airy arrangement, it caused quite a stir.

A perfect track for those who want to discover a new self with the arrival of spring, or to bask in bittersweet memories of young love.

Cheer Up – Mariya Takeuchi

“Genki wo Dashite” is a song written and composed by Mariya Takeuchi and sung by Hiroko Yakushimaru.

Takeuchi later released a self-cover of the song herself.

She created it with the intention of encouraging Carly Simon after her divorce from James Taylor; both were major American singer-songwriters and a married couple.

As a result, the lyrics are very uplifting, making it a perfect song for anyone looking to move on from a broken heart!
