This is a single released by Ayano Tsuji in 2000.

In addition to being used on the TV show Ponkikkies, it was also featured in a cosmetics commercial.

The gentle sound of the ukulele—Ayano Tsuji’s signature instrument—resonates softly, creating a calming atmosphere that leaves a strong impression.

Despite the soothing sound, the lyrics seem to express a bittersweet feeling within oneself.

It’s also a song that conveys a strong determination, as if calling out to both the listener and the self that hearts remain connected even when apart.

The original songs are singles released by Sugar Babe in 1975 and 1982.

They were used as the opening theme for the TV anime “And Yet the Town Moves.” The track has a stylish vibe distinct from Sugar Babe’s version, packed with a heartwarming feel that’s quintessentially Ayano Tsuji.

Ayano Tsuji “If You Sing in the Bath” (Kumamon 10th Anniversary Celebration ver.)

With her gentle singing voice, Ayano Tsuji encourages everyone to take a bath in her song “Sing in the Bath.” It was produced as the PR song for the “Kumamoto Furo-motion Division,” established in Kumamoto, a prefecture famous for its many hot springs.

On YouTube, there’s also a video featuring Kumamon, Kumamoto’s hugely popular mascot, enjoying a bath on his day off.

It’s understandable to feel like scolding a bath-averse child with “Go take a bath already!” but, as this song suggests, a gentle nudge might change how kids feel about bath time.

This song by Ayano Tsuji, which shot to popularity after being featured as the theme song for Studio Ghibli’s film The Cat Returns and in a House Foods commercial, is a lovely piece that sets the bittersweetness of reminiscing to guitar scales.

Its melody is so wonderful that anyone who plays guitar will find themselves thinking, “I want to play this song at least once!”

Ayano Tsuji – Feelings for You (Music Video)

This is the title track of Ayano Tsuji’s major-label debut mini-album, known for its light ukulele tones and her charming, faintly nostalgic singing voice.

When this work was released in September 1999, she was still a university student.

Wanting to tell someone you care about them, yet not quite finding the right words—the sweet, bittersweet feelings are sung over a simple, unadorned melody.

The story that she chose the ukulele over the guitar because her hands are small hints at the roots of her musical style.

From this classic release, Feelings for You, came songs featured in a Morinaga Milk Industry commercial and as a TV drama ending theme.

This album gently accompanies the pure heart that thinks of someone dear.

It’s perfect for moments when you want to feel calm and at ease.

“Toshishita no Otokonoko” (Younger Boy) is a pioneering age-gap love song released by the trio Candies in 1975.

At a time when the prevailing view in Japanese pop was “I want to be protected by an older man,” lyrics gushing over “how irresistibly cute a younger boy is” may have been quite shocking.

With its strong impact, the song is still covered today by artists like singer-songwriter Ayano Tsuji and Tomoyo Harada.

If you’ve found yourself interested in a younger guy, why not give this song a listen to lift your spirits?

This piece is perfect for the refreshing autumn breeze! It’s a song by ukulele singer-songwriter Ayano Tsuji, known for hits like “Kaze ni Naru,” and it was included on her 2022 album HELLO WOMAN.

It was also chosen as the opening theme for the anime The Maiko House’s Makanai-san.

The pop sound and vocals, along with lyrics that carry the message “If I’m with you, I can go anywhere,” are truly soothing.
