UA – Passion (Official Video)

It can be considered one of UA’s signature works, distinguished by profound lyrics that depict intense emotions and unfulfilled longing.

The words, which express heartache and the complexities of love, resonate deeply with listeners.

Released in June 1996 as her fourth single, it climbed high on the charts and became a turning point that brought UA widespread recognition.

It enjoyed long-lasting popularity and remains the most charting track among her songs.

With its rhythmic tempo and UA’s languid, whisper-like vocals, this piece is guaranteed to be a hit at karaoke.

It’s also a perfect choice for women in their 40s leading busy lives with work and childrearing.

Sweet FateUA2rank/position

UA – Sweet Destiny – LIVE AMETORA 1998 Sweet Destiny

Released in February 1997 as UA’s seventh single.

It’s also her biggest hit, the only single she’s released to make the Oricon Top 10.

UA is known for her slightly soulful, husky, and low-toned voice, and even in this medium-slow, shuffle-beat, R&B-style track, those vocal qualities are brought out beautifully, creating a unique charm that other singers can’t easily imitate.

While the song calls for solid low notes as well as bright, resonant highs—making it a bit challenging for the average person to sing at karaoke—give it a try, and be sure to keep the beat from becoming flat!

This commercial conveys that Audi cars can handle any environment and deliver a reassuring drive.

It depicts the surroundings outside the car changing one after another, and by contrasting this with the flustered reactions of nearby pedestrians, it effectively expresses the car’s strength.

What further highlights the way the vehicle brushes off the difficulties shown in the visuals is the nursery rhyme Amefuri, sung by UA.

The unique world created by the blend of the light, buoyant melody and her rich, resonant vocals is striking, evoking a sense of composure in the face of major challenges.

Asparagus (Album Mix)

This track showcases UA’s distinctive musicality.

Poetic lyrics that overlay everyday scenes with feelings of love unfold over a characteristic rhythm and airy, floating vocals.

Featured on the album “2008,” released in December 2008, the song uses unique metaphors to capture love’s shifting emotions—likening infatuation to a low-grade fever, and describing asparagus in the garden as if it were waiting for someone.

The lyrics, seamlessly fused with UA’s deep emotional expression, are sure to resonate with listeners.

It’s a recommended piece for those wrestling with love or anyone who wants to quietly immerse themselves in music.

HORIZONUA6rank/position

UA – HORIZON (Official Video)

UA’s debut single is like gently shining a light on the voice deep within one’s heart.

The airy sound crafted by Hiroshi Fujiwara and Hirofumi Asamoto melds with her one-of-a-kind vocals—both wistful and untamed—to create a singular sonic world.

Released in June 1995, this track marked the first time UA wrote her own lyrics and became a milestone that declared her resolve as a singer.

Although it never entered the charts, it sent shockwaves through the scene; producer Kiyoshi Matsuo later said it “changed the course of music.” It’s the perfect song for moments when you’re starting something new or need the strength to believe in yourself.

UA (Ua) - My Baby

UA’s “Watashi no Yan” evokes a gentle nighttime scene where a baby has just been born.

The song was originally by singer-songwriter Tavito Nanao, and UA covered it on her 2010 cover album KABA.

UA’s tender voice soothes like a soft swaddling blanket around a newborn.

The lyrics, which sing of the joy of birth gently and quietly yet with passionate warmth, portray exactly what many mothers feel.

Even strangers—please rejoice in the birth of my child who has come into this world! You can feel the mother’s overflowing joy for her baby.
