This is a track from the album “Vital Apartment.” It features a beautifully melodic piano and a warm band sound that color the song vividly.

With stylish turns of phrase in the lyrics, it’s a modest little love song.

Let It Go ~As I Am~Ana to Yuki no Joō (Matsu Takako)

Takako Matsu – Let It Go ~Ari no mama de~ (From “Frozen”)
Let It Go ~As I Am~Ana to Yuki no Joō (Matsu Takako)

This is the theme song from the blockbuster film Frozen.

It’s a perfect song for a snowy Christmas.

It’s been covered and sung by many male and female singers, so it’s a song that both boys and girls can sing.

The key to singing it is to keep the beginning restrained and then belt out the chorus.

That way it’s sure to get everyone excited! Since everyone knows this song, you could even point the mic to the audience so they can all sing the chorus together.

This band project, Miccatenka, is led by Mika Kobayashi, who is best known for anime songs, including theme songs for Attack on Titan.

Kobayashi, widely praised for her vocal ability, delivers a stunning performance on the track we’re introducing today, Red Spirit—an arresting dance-beat number that incorporates arranged elements of traditional Japanese instruments.

The song showcases her masterful control, from powerful high tones in her chest voice to gentle highs blending mixed voice and falsetto.

I’ve had the chance to work with Kobayashi in the studio and on stage several times, and her singing is truly overwhelming in its power.

It might be a tough one to tackle at karaoke, but I encourage you to give it a try!

She debuted in 1990, and as a female vocalist, her song “Angel’s Rest” became a major hit.

Having originally aimed to be a rock singer, she made her band debut overseas in 2000.

She’s an artist with a wonderfully passionate singing voice.

RequiemHisaishi Joe

Nausicaä Requiem (from ‘Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind’)

This piece, titled “Requiem,” carries the meaning of a song for mourning the dead.

Its weighty, grounded piano arrangement and ambiguous melody leave a strong impression.

It powerfully elevates a crucial scene in the story where the protagonist, Ashitaka, is on the brink of losing his life.

It is a profound and convincing composition that conveys the gravity of a single human life.

Among the pieces from Princess Mononoke, there are several versions of “Requiem,” and this is the second version.

The composition is almost the same, but the differences between versions lie in whether wind instruments are used and in subtle arrangement details.

This is the quietest arrangement in the Requiem series, and in the original it is performed without any wind instruments.

Requiem IIIHisaishi Joe

It’s the third piece in the Requiem series, and within the film it’s the requiem used at the very end.

Bearing the tagline “Live,” and given how frequently themes of life and death are portrayed throughout this movie, reflecting on the significance of creating a “Requiem,” meaning “song of repose,” across three installments seems to reveal the themes and messages Princess Mononoke seeks to express.
